Post-Colonial theory

first text...
- race and ethnicity is shown in a positive way
-Globalised- the internet, technology etc (coming together)
- as by how we see all the races come together and celebrate
- also over the time how different races have had great achievement in music E.g rizzle kicks, dizzie rascal, asian music
- also the white wife and the black husband living a good middle class life style. going against the stereotype. And how to races have come together to make a happy family
-Relating it to theory - Alvardo - Humorous-not in a comic sense but in the sense of joyful happy characters
-negative-  Frantz- black wearing white masks- want that lifestyle

Second text...
-negative representation - multicultural - staged and not true
- trying to say we don't see black father and white mother living in a middle class life style
- Frantz- that black people are aspiring or wanting to be like white people as seen in the Olympic opening
-alvardo- pited, as black people in real life don't have a middle class life style.

Summary
With the release of iPhone 5 there has been a lot of controversial view on the new Maps app. However this hasn't discouraged people into buying the new phone as nearly 1,297 people were queuing outside from 8am which beats pas records of the iPhone 4s, which had a total of 778 people queuing. Also now that apple has stopped using Google maps as one of its apps, it has now combined it new map app data with TomTom and own sources however it has had many errors. Furthermore Apple has also given a statement as to it is "working on it". However it hasn't stopped iphone 5 sales and iOS 6 downloads. in addition other issues have been such as the new sim card slot "nano-sim".


In my opinion
i believe iPhone 5 does deserve the sales and admiration that it is getting. As just because of one app they are getting all this criticisms. As there are other aspects about the phone that can be appreciated such as the length etc. And also Apple being such a well known brand it was expected that the product will get so much attention due to its well known name and also loyal customers who will buy their products.
