Passive audience

The Hays code:

In the 1920's, the following were considered to be not suitable to show in films and thus film audiences:

- white slavary

- scenes of actual child birth

- showing leg above the knee

- using christ, lord or god in a rude way

- ridicule of the clergy

- misusing the american flag

They didnt show certain things to audiences as it might have created conflict by inflicting other ideas on the audience and therefore influencing them to think things were ok to do when traditionally they werent. Things we see in the media allow us a the audience to think in positive or negative way. This is done by society injecting us with messages passively. 

We were given this list of words and asked to use one to describe the image being shown. We found that our gender and stereotypes played a part in how we each described the image which is alsk because of what we have see in the media.
