Ideologies in your Critical Investigation
In order to make sure your investigation includes enough academic theories and ideologies to get the best marks, answer these questions as a starting point.
Who has produced the text?
What does it represent?
What does it leave out? – Why?
Hegemony – what dominant view is your text/institution reinforcing?
What concept is being shown, gender, race, religion, social standing, economics etc?
What theorists have explored these issues and how has what they say explain your texts/institution?
Is there any debate in the media about your texts or institutions. For example, if your text is aired on the BBC, there is a constant debate about how the BBC earns and spends its money.
You will need to identify any debates that exist around the texts and outline them in your investigation.

First things first, though. Time to get reaquainted with your blogs!!
