Post colonial essay

Does the British media reflect the modern, multicultural nature of British society?

Throughout the years the British Media has change their views of multicultural British Society as their traditional views have been taken over, this can be shown in the Olympics 2012 as the opening ceremony; Danny Boyle shows how music has changed over the years in which shows how people have change.

As in the beginning of the last scene of opening ceremony it shows a strong white male protagonist (Mr Bean) running against other white males, the representation we get from here is that white males are stronger and well-spoken than any other multicultural society in which can counter argued as we won’t actually situated white males to become converted white Muslims, this countertype has recently been used in ‘Citizen Khan’ as they used a ginger white Muslim convert as the mosque leader.

The change over media has actually been connected to the colonialism because the British societies took over or rein many countries such as African Countries, Caribbean, India and Australasia as they wanted to make a profit, expand power and spread religion in which lead to many historical events such as Slavery as hey had racial & cultural inequality from 15^th-20^th century. Colonlism is still occurring in the here and now but less than before as many of countries or people of the countries like India have placed them in Britain and also brought over their culture for example curries, festivals and patriotism, this is shown in the movie, Yasmin as she is made to choose her roots over her normal day to day life in which she ends up in dilemma, this shows many young girls are being put in the circumstances every day.

This links us to post-colonism as this is the end of colonislism, the last and recent countries who were introduced to this was Hong Kong, it also connects us to Alvarado views of black stereotypes as he thought that racial representation belonged in four categories of exotic, dangerous, humorous and pitied, this is also shown in the London Olympics 2012 a Mo Farah is shown as pitied & exotic as he is asylum seeker and hardworker. 

Another, post colonist is Franz Fanon, about black people wearing white mask which is shown in modern society by the president of the USA as he acts like he wears a white mask, as he has seen to lost his native language and his culture has vanished as he  has become educated in which made him to act and behave in white white ways as he made to adapt and identify to the country.
