5. WHAT ARE THE STRUGGLES FACED IN TRYING TO GET A SHOW ABOUT WORKING CLASS PEOPLE ON TELEVISION??
The struggle that can be faced by getting working class people on television is that we know being a working class group is not really a good thing and can ruin their image. So not many people are willing to shine in a bad spotlight where all the negative things in a working class life is shown to the public eventhough we know very well that is how the reality of working class lived. Media will always only show the positive simple life a working class live on and hide all the negative thing about the working class.
