Watch this clip from BBC Question Time with Russell Brand and Nigel Farage. The BBC deliberately placed the two against each other and the episode resulted in far more people watching and tweeting than usual.
The binary opposition I can suggest from watching this clip is :
- Left + Right
- Nationalist + Globalist
- Young + Old
- Capitalist + Socialist
- Working class + Middle/Upper class
- Audience + Panel
The ideologies that are on display in this clip is that immigration is bad for the UK as we don't have enough primary school places and GP's for people.
Another ideology in this video is that Nigel Farage has all the money however he isn't doing anything to fix the economy. He is blaming the immigrants for the economic crash that happened in 2008.
Ideology and your own choice of clip
Now do the same activity for a clip of your choice. Embed the YouTube video in your blog and answer the questions in detail:
(02:06 - 04:13)
Contains strong language.
1) What examples of binary opposition can you suggest from watching your clip?
This video by Krept & Konan shows how the police are corrupt as they stop two young black males who had just finished having lunch with their friends. The police officers had stopped the two young males for no specific reason and exploited their powers. The binary opposition creates the stereotype that the police are racist and abuses their powers.
2) What ideologies are on display in your clip?
The video reinforces what a lot of young black males go through during their daily life.
