No, laws are in place which we must adhere to in taking and displaying image.
If we exhibit internationally, we must adhere to other laws.
Internet - what impact does that have?
(Each site will have terms and conditions and laws in the publishing country which users must adhere to, but there may be cultural differences which affect the reception of ideas, images and aspirations)
There is no right to free speech
There are social norms which we feel obliged to conform to and gain approval and acceptance of our peers
Peer pressure to conform (or rebel)
Censorship
We are active participants in a capitalist society, ruled by the flow of money, we work and earn so we can buy, the way we work and the things we buy denote our position and 'place' in society.
Our aspirations within that society will be governed by our own ideology, which has formed over many years.
Made up of things we have inherited, things that are pressured or presumed and our own thoughts and ideas.
What are we - the British Culture?
When considering this question here is a visual representation including some of my own images
What makes & defines us;
multi cultural
socially responsible
geographical diversity
Binge drinkers
food lovers (consume & produce)
Tradition
Technically obsessed with progression
creatives
Money obsessed
inactive 'watchers'
concerned with face value/appearance
Lead by idea of celebrity.
As seen in previous lectures - the media reinforces social values and stereotypes (redundant messaging for us to accept the norm)
