Unity

Unity is a stereotype of ethnicity that of close families and tight communities.

In lesson we watched a clip of the trueman family eating dinner and had to discuss how it showed unity...
Eastenders
- Unity - holding hands
- absence of white people
- Different age generations
- Circle table
- Relationship with eachother
- Reggae music in the background
-Immigration
-Wide shot - whole table
- Girls repeated - sexual

We also discussed conflict and binary opposites and how they represent ethnicity.

A cliche of ethnic minorities are shown united by religious believes, language and occupation.
CONFLICT + UNITY - OPPOSITES.
Conflict is often the binary opposition of ethnic groups and the wider society.
Even when ethnic groups are assimilated into wider society, difference, diversity is emphasised through representation.

Binary Opposites:
- Male&Female
- Asian/black/white
-Terrorists/ Spy
- Facing the light/dark
- Innocent/ evil
