  1) Why did Laura Bates start the Everyday Sexism project? To catalogue the spectrum of sexism faced day-to-day by women . 2) How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism? Is feminism still required in western societies? Because of individual choice and personal comfort etc . I think it is not required as females have equal opportunities and are given the same wages as men in the modern era . 3) Why was new technology essential to the success of the Everyday Sexism project? New technology allowed major expressions from feminists in order to support their cause and also allowed the creation of communities and formation of bonds . 4) Will there be a point in the future when the Everyday Sexism project is not required? What is  YOUR  view on the future of feminism? I think there will be a point where the everyday sexism will not be needed due to the establishment on equal rights . In the future the current ideology of feminism will be removed . Media Magazine

  1) Why is representation an important concept in Media Studies? Depending on representations audiences opinions on a character or place etc are made whether it is positive or negative or stereotype enforced .  2) How does the example of Kate Middleton show the way different meanings can be created in the media? A photographer takes her picture. If  this is an official picture, Kate and the  royal team will have given considerable thought to the outfit she is wearing,  the location of the image, her pose,  facial expressions etc. If this is an  unofficial or paparazzi photo, Kate  herself may have tried to control the  image as much as possible, but  the 'snapshot ’ is now controlled more by  the photographer. Meaning different meanings are conveyed to audiences depending on the background of the source . 3) Summarise the section 'The how, who and why of media representation' in 50 words.
