Textual analysis Re-watch some of the expansion pack trailers and answer the following questions: 1) How do the expansion pack (DLC) trailers reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies? In terms of Gender the trailers both reinforce and challenge ideologies through how the females and males are portrayed. For example, in the expansion packs for teens, the females aren't dressed in skirts or dresses instead they are in more comfortable gender neutral clothes , however the trailer does reinforce some gender roles .

Activity Does the media have the power to change peoples’ behaviour, attitudes or promote values and ideologies?  depending on how raw and real the content is i personally think that the media cant effectively change peoples behaviour, attitudes etc... 1. Do you play violent video games and/or watch violent films? Are you violent in ‘real life’? i do play some violent video games and i have watched and so see violent films often but i dont see myself as someone who wants to go out and copy violent acts out on people in public. 2. Do you ever see a product advertised on TV or on the internet and decide you want to buy it yes  i have had the desire to buy something but i never usually do because its never too desirable for me. 3. Have you ever seen a documentary which has drawn your attention to an issue which you now feel strongly about no...
