Editing Matrix of domination (section)

=== Representation among class ===

Social class plays a large role on people's everyday life, yet their representation is not always fair. In television and popular culture, those who fall into the lower class are often portrayed differently based on if they are a woman or a man. If they are a woman, they often are portrayed as being more intelligent and responsible than their husbands, almost acting as their mothers.<ref name=":1"/> The male head of the household is typically portrayed as being less intelligent, with some redeeming qualities, but typically is not respected.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.museum.tv/eotv/socialclass.htm|title=The Museum of Broadcast Communications - Encyclopedia of Television - Social Class and Television|website=www.museum.tv|access-date=2018-03-30}}</ref> Together they can be shown in a light that makes them seem lazy or dishonest.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Woods|first=Taniesha|date=October 25, 2004|title=The Development of Stereotypes About the Rich and Poor: Age, Race, and Family Income Differences in Beliefs|url=https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/108157/Stereotype%20Development.pdf?sequence=1|journal=Journal of Youth and Adolescence|volume=34}}</ref> The upper class however, does not face these same issues with representation in the media. The man of the household takes on stereotypical male qualities, while the woman takes on stereotypical female qualities. The children in this upper class scenario are what provides entertainment value, rather than focusing on the unintelligent and unorganized adults as in the lower class model.<ref name=":1" /> Overall, in the upper-class family unit, they are portrayed as organized and put together, while the lower class model are portrayed as lazy and unorganized.
