Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social group?

Rick Flame vs. John Tucker



Rick Flame
John Tucker

















Rick Flame is the stereotypical ladies man who can be compared to John Tucker who is the main character of the Rom-Com 'John Tucker must Die'. These two character share the trates showing that our character Rick conforms to the stereotypical social group in which character like Ned will not fit into. Are film clearly outlines the boarder between social groups where you have the 'cool' people and the 'outsiders' (nerds), but we see the boarder broken when characters have a transition form outsider to cool kid. This transition is seen in John Tucker but his statues falls and his social group changes, a simular transition happens to Rick Flame in our film showing we conform to the stereotypical views on social groups.
