Blog task: binary oppositions and ideology



Blog task: binary oppositions and ideology


Examples of binary opposition:
  • Working class and upper class
  • Rich and poor
  • Left-wing and right-wing
  • UKIP and Labour
  • Immigrants and UK citizens
Ideologies: 
  • Immigrants are putting the economy under pressure and help contribute to the suffering of UK citizens
  • UKIP predominantly use immigrants as scapegoats for the problems the state is facing
  • Nigel Farage or UKIP as a whole are source of fear for the UK public
  • There are corrupt collectives present in the country that use up resources within it unjustly 
  • Britain in terms of population, is becoming overcrowded
  • Distribution of wealth amongst the population tends to be quite unbalanced



Examples of binary opposition:
  • Black and white people
  • Black people and the police
  • Young people and adults
  • Police and the general public
  • Rappers and the police force
Ideologies:
  • Police are brutal in their force exerted on black people
  • White people, particularly during the time 'Straight Outta Compton' was set in, were relentless with their abuse towards black people 
  • Young people often get themselves in trouble, resulting in eventual police intervention
