These four links investigate how the workplace is portrayed on television and how this effects those in the workplace. From studies based around how individuals are Stereotyped on television, how work is portrayed, how workplace authority figures are represented, and how the workspace is structured on television, we have investigated how individuals obtain a specific ideal of what the workplace should be like. Through this investigation we hope it is possible to begin to understand why such a large percentage of the younger working population has become disillusioned with the World of Work.
