ANALYSIS: VALUES - IDENTITY - ACTIONS
Example
As you can see, it's important to be critical viewers of media. To help us look deeply at representations in the media, in the next page you will examine texts in terms of Values, Identities and Actions.
ACTIONS
This scene can encourage a viewer to believe that bi-sexuality does not exist based on the way the characters, who appear as members of the LBGTQ2+ community, joke about it. It effectively works at erasing this identity by discounting it, which could make bisexual individuals question their own sense of self.
