The ideology of our culture could be seen as heavily constructed. This can be seen in day to day life, as when people think of British culture they think of monarchy, the BBC and other more stereotypical signs rather than what British culture is actually like.
To a certain extent, these signs do represent Britain. Most people do complain about the weather or watch TV soaps. However, these signs do not fully represent Britain as there are many other elements that makeup Britain as a country.
The media promotes these signs in order to keep people interested and entertained. If the signs were too realistic then people would lose interest in the British culture.
These signs might make us feel like we have to act or behave a certain way in order to fit in and not be seen as different than the norm. Others are meant to see us as normal for following and believing these signs.
