The birth of the new baby girl in the royal family would be categorised under Elite nation or people.

Representation: Blog task
The film "Taken" has a stereotypical representation of gender. Liam Neeson plays as the hero who finds out that his daughter has been kidnapped and try's finding her. He is described as a typical male hero in a action film (brave,strong,smart,risk taker and cunning). His daughter (who is played by Maggie Grace) is shown as the vulnerable and innocent girl that has been kidnapped. The villains in the film are shown as typical European men, that don't care about peoples lives and only cares about making money. This is the kind of representation we would expect in an American action film. This shows us that the main character does not want the police to get involved and wants to sort it out his self and find his daughter. There are females presented all the way through the whole film, but they are shown as being the ones that need to saved by an male and they are also shown as being weak and there is no way they could escape from what has happened to them. The whole film shows us that females need to be saved only by a male hero. This is a stereotypical representation of women.
