Ideology
Watch this clip from BBC Question Time with Russell Brand and Nigel Farage. The BBC deliberately placed the two against each other and the episode resulted in far more people watching and tweeting than usual.
A) What examples of binary opposition can you suggest from watching this clip?
The subject that was being debated on that weeks 'Question Time' was politics. The two debaters were two very influential opinion leaders. It questioned whether people would listen to people who irrelevant to politics or whether they would listen to people with a key roll in politics. The binary opposite in this episode of 'Question Time' would be Russel Brand and Nigel Farage. Russel Brand's words carry power as he is a very well known celebrity who has beaten addiction his views are that immigrants are not at fault because middle class people are receiving less disposable income. Whereas, Nigel Farage is believes that it is based solely based on Immigrants constantly claiming benefits and not providing anything in return. So we could say that another binary opposition is Rich and Poor.
Ideology of my own video
The subject of this video is the output of funds that go to more developing countries. The binary opposition in this clip is Migrants Vs Immigrants and Poor Vs Rich. Nigel Farage has been criticised for his extreme views on woman and immigrants since this news story.
