Dominant Ideology

Opening to CSI - Tv Program;

In this program it represents a strong ideology that men and women are equals, as all the characters shown to the viewer are all intelligent and have a good position in the job they are doing, we see that in the program that she is just as dominant as the male as she has an active role in the case, this creates the illusion that both men and women are equal in real life in this form of job. By showing this as equals it encourages the audience to believe the idea of the two sexes being equal. This is also very patriotic to Americans have strong american accents, this makes the target viewers of the american public feel safe, as all the places shown are set in america, to makes them feel like it does not take a lot to solve the case and gives a false sense of security that all cases will be solved in this manner.

The Opening to the TV show also shows that women are more vulnerable in the program, as we discover that all the dead bodies that are being found are all women, this gives us the idea that the young women are easily lead into situations that could be potentially dangerous, as no males are found we see that men are presented as violent in the opening as the main target is the women. Another ideology represented is that 'women are more emotional than men' - we see this is shown in the part of the flashback, only a woman is presented as emotional.
