Andrew Higson (1998)
"identity is generally understood to be the shared identity of naturalised inhabitants of a particular political-geographic space - this can a particular nation or region."
Benedict Anderson (1983)
maintains that the media play a vital role in constructing a national identity as in realty the nation is too big for everyone to know each other yet the often shared values," The unification of people in the modern world is achieved not by military but by cultural means, in particular the media system enables people to feel part of a coherent, meaningful and homogenous community.
Higson - "stereotyping is a form of shorthand ... a way of establishing a character .. that often reducing the character to the most basic form so that the stereotype often becomes comic.
Higson - ' No wonder then that a particular characterisation may be criticised for being stereotype meaning it lacks a realistic dimension, it fails to match up to the reality of identity." (1998)
Medhurst- "Awful cause not like us"
Colloquial Dialect.
