- SOCIAL & CULTURAL CONTEXTS in THE OBSERVER 1960s

 24.5.21

How women are seen:

- 'objects' due to them only being seen in the corner advertising sexual objects and lingerie 

- the Queen is shown going to Mourning valley 

- another lady just shown in the corner of the paper making her seen like she is only represented on the paper for her body

- lastly a Woman is 'displayed' with a man having his arm around his shoulders seen as his partner

Representation of ethnicity:

-there is a lack of black people shown in the Observer newspaper

- there is black woman represented with a man showing that they are together and the white can be seen (together) with the black

Overall there is a strong lacking of black people shown in these covers. Majority of these papers involves white people and their stories. 

Social conditions:

-the first paper involves 'lawyers urging divorce by consent'

- the second paper involves not much on social connections/conditions showing they would rather present other things then couples together or divorced

-the last paper involves a photo including two people 'together' but nothing else involving people relationship statuses.
