our girl gender and ethnicity

Our girl

• Gender- how does Georgie meet gender stereotypes and how she is represented as a counter-strereotype 

The typical stereo type for the army was that only big tough men could make it into the army and survive, but now there is a lot more women found in the army and doing just as good as a job. I personally if you want to be in the army and you can pass all the tests to get in you should be allowed in the army, no matter whether the are male or female.The stereotype is shown when she is screaming, whereas men in the army are never really shown to scream unless they have been shot. she is also wearing a lot of make up even though its natural looking you can still tell that make up has been applied. she challenges the stereo though by getting her hands dirty and not being bothered if there's a bit of blood, she has the mind set that this is my job and it needs doing.

• Ethnicity- 

Georgie is a part of the British army so her and her fellow soldiers are all from around Britain, but the army is fighting over in Kenya near the border. This TV programme also test stereotypes as well as even though most of the 'terrorist' are coloured and usually from LEDC's there is one of them that is a white British ember and is quite high up in the scale it seems. Even though the soldiers are out fighting and when one has been shot and is on the floor he is still sharing 'banter' with fellow soldiers, this gives off a kind of 'football lad' stereo type, even though they are thousands of miles away fem home they can still have a laugh.
