Post-colonialism

representation of race and ethnicity in the two texts I studied I believe that the ethnicity of both black and white people have come together in the modern world to show equality as the video I have seen about Olympics contains sports where both men/female different races battle together and this shows that in today's culture everyone is treating everyone as their own. on the other hand there was also an unpleasant mix of contempt, misanthropy and thinly disguised racism involved; this is because people believe that this was supposed to be a representation of modern life in England but it is likely to be challenged for the organisers to find educated middle-aged mother and a black father living together as a happy family. However i believe in the new modern life it gets classed as a stereotype as we now see white women and black men living together happily.

Negative examples from the video i had seen is that a man was in hospital for few days and was dying for one glass of water, nobody bothered to give him that and he had died due to the nurses being irresponsible. this shows that they don't really care about the patients and let him suffer. on the other hand we saw that the NHS was dancing to show the positive side of it showing how many patients they recur. These examples include; 'Rick Dewsbury's journalistic offal is the latest in a long line of these: from Richard Littlejohn's declaration that the deaths of five women was "no great loss", to Samantha "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" Brick. But it's not the articles themselves that spark my curiosity' This shows how the music video is appealing to people and everyday life on how people are feeling about it by singing songs to show how they feel about the Olympics opening ceremony.
