Advertising assessment learner response

  Learner response blog tasks 1) Type up your feedback in  full  (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). -WWW: Marwa, an overall fair assessment. Your question 2 was very good and clear and you were able to compare both adverts. -EBI: Not enough detailed textual analysis for question 1.Also question 3 was too opinionated and not supported with enough theory to validate your argument. 2) Read  the whole mark scheme for this assessment carefully .

Feminist theory: blog tasks

Advertising: Postcolonialism

  Introduction to Postcolonialism: blog tasks Answer the following questions on your blog: 1) Look at the first page. What is colonialism - also known as  cultural imperialism?  -From the 16th  century onwards, European countries  effectively got into a race to see how  many undiscovered lands they could  conquer first, and by ‘undiscovered’ I  mean, ‘countries where the indigenous  population didn’t have good enough  weapons to fight back’. 2) Now look at the second page. What is postcolonialism?  -  A  range of theories and ideas that have come from the legacy of colonialism and slavery. It attempts to define attitudes and values that can often still persist in society today – such as an assumption of the superiority of white Western values and ideals in relation to other cultures. 3) How does Paul Gilroy suggest postcolonialism influences British culture? - Postcolonial melancholia (sadness) to reflect Britain failure t...
