CSI Clip
In this clip the producers of the television programme are presenting a dominant ideology, which creates the belief that this is how the law enforcement works in reality, when this is false. The way the programme portrays the fast moving investigations and quick solutions is a mis-representation and a dominant ideology because this isn't the case, in reality as cases such as a murder or even a robbery takes months to work out.
The females are shown as smart, equal to males and respected by all of the males, this is how it is portrayed in this programme whereas in reality this could be a mis-representation. In the programme the female CSI forensic investigator takes control of the confrontation with the leader of the FBI. She is equal and respected by men because she finds and works out information for this particular case to move the case forward.
Even though the women are equal to males in this programme there is a slight sense of male superiority. This may be because of the amount of males that play the roles of the law enforcement. However, in this clip you see the leader of the FBI approach the CSI forensics and we see that the leader is female, so male superiority may not be an issue just that you see more males than females which suggests the male superiority.
During the investigation that takes place in the programme, all of the bodies that have been discovered are women's. This creates a representation that males in the programme are dominant as no male bodies were found this may suggest that women are incapable of looking after themselves and are easy targets.
A dominant ideology that is being pushed during the programme is patriotism, the police/ law enforcement are there to protect their country.
