Political Protest

Misrepresentation of Minorities in the Media.

The final topic we chose to do our protest on was misrepresentation of minorities in the media. The day we ended up doing our performance was several days after the attacks in Paris and it was a very tense time in the media on how they were portraying 'terrorist' assailants after this tragic event. This ended up impacting what we discussed. 
We chose to become the media and demoralise, label and categorise the students of the brit school in order to show in a clear way what the media does to minority groups.

Minority groups 
Minority group is a term referring to a category of people differentiated from the social majority, i.e. those who hold the majority of positions of social power in a society, and may be defined by law. Rather than a relational "social group", as the term would indicate, minority group refers to the above-described.
