Choose a text and Apply two key concepts.



Representation:
The representation of different groups and stereotyping is very strongly put across through this media text as it shows the female sex group as nothing more than useful objects using religion. The fact that the text below was said to be written in the kitchen is ironic and represents females as they were to be used as maids... as if they were un-equal to Males or even created for the male sex, hence "Make me a sandwich"- Ordering the female around as though she is his property.
Genre:
The genre of the text is to put forward a perticular stereotype, In this case that "Women belong in the kitchen". Its could also be seen as to be humorous as all other stereotypes are made to be seen. This could also be seen as intertextuality with the image that has been altered to present a certain message.
