Theoretical frameworks help us understand how media affects our cultural identity in a few important ways:
Semiotics: This is about symbols and meanings. By looking at signs in media, we can see how different representations shape our views of identity.
Discourse Analysis: This allows us to explore how the language in media creates social norms. How do specific stories support or challenge different identities?
Cultural Studies Lens: This looks at how media connects with race, gender, and class. It helps us understand different cultural expressions and the balance of power.
These frameworks help us appreciate how media plays a big role in shaping who we are.
