-Ben- Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 I go back to school on Monday January 9th so my essay needs to be done by then. What I have to do is compare the social conditions of two Scottish contemporary plays (The Steamie and Men Should Weep) but I need to make sure I'm writing about the correct things first. Any help welcome.. thanks! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd say that social conditions means the society in which the characters are living. So like Mercury Girl said, economy and polictical issues would be one, also women's rights, work, cultures etc. You were on the right tracks anyway.

Dan F Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 It's with reference to a book by Frances Bonner called Ordinary Television - which is currently booked out of my Uni Library! Argh this book is annoying me now! There's 4 copies in my library, 2 are booked out, one is on hold for someone who hasn't picked it up, and the other one can't be removed from the Library. My friend at Derby Uni has searched her library but they don't have it - I've done an online search of every Library in Nottinghamshire and they don't have it! Anyone in Queensland can you just pop along to the University of Queensland, ask for Dr Frances Bonner and get her to email me a copy?!!
Ashirr-Leigh Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks guys, that's really helped me alot. I've got the day off work tomorrow so I plan to start my essay then - after the long lie, of course! All your suggestions made me remember that the role of women and politics were definitely two of the issues we had to discuss so.. thanks! Ms Becky, I do the exact same. That's why I'm trying to give myself a heads up on this one. It's the first essay of this kind that I've had to do for Drama and I want to make sure it's good!
Frankie Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 It's extremely theoretical, sort of why I chose a supposed practical course! It really is at degree level though I'm afraid, following lectures we've had on it I've got 11 questions to choose from but I think I'm going with: 3. In what ways does entertainment-dominated non-fiction on TV seek to show us how to achieve a ‘better, more exciting ordinary’ (Bonner)? It's with reference to a book by Frances Bonner called Ordinary Television - which is currently booked out of my Uni Library! I think it's basically asking how can programmes such as Wife Swap, Changing Room, You Are What You Eat etc. affect how people want to live their lives. Yes it's a tough one! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did not do media...social sciences.... but from the way it's worded I would think something about social construct theory and the way in which people "engage" with what they see on the TVi is about right...you could throw in a bit of . Vygotsky...he is always good for a bit of waffle.
