Olympics ceremony

In the Olympics ceremony opening there was a multicultural theme in the sense that they tried to imply that Britain welcomes many and different races. This was shown as there was black people as well as white people, this was shown firstly in the household where the women is living with her black partner or husband and has mixed race children, the family almost portrays a nuclear family, A theorist which would argue this would be Alvarado because it does not show any of his four attributes. More than that, the fact that the family is a mixed race family shows the audience how London wants to be seen rather than how it really is. Usually, mixed race families are seen as a broken family rather than a nuclear family, however, the Olympics does not portray a hard living family but rather portrays a happy stable nuclear family. this is challenging the stereotypes as these families are usually stereotyped in a negative way however Dany Boyle is trying to challenge this stereotype. However, the daily mail would disagree with the scene about the NHS and argue that we should not depend on the NHS as we should be independent. people who are more right wing believe that it should not be glorified because everything should be private shouldn't rely on the state.
