Age and Sexuality

Age



Age is shown in a variety of ways within the media. Older people for example, are shown in a negative way in the Scottish Comedy series 'Still Game'. Still Game focuses on two Glaswegian pensioners in a lower class part of Glasgow. The show shows the couple in a stereotypical, yet comical way, as the couple are often 'set in their ways' and are very grumpy towards the younger members of society. Although the show does show the couple in some positive ways as they are always there for each other and enjoy socialising with other member of the society such as the Asian shopkeeper in the local newsagents. 

Sexuality

Sexuality is shown is many different ways in the media. The article above is from a previous footballer and blames the media for Gay footballers not wanting to 'come out'. Therefore this article presents sexuality in the media in a very negative way as it is blaming the media for the cause of footballers not wanting to admit they are gay.
