Rail Fares increase largest in five years:

 Unfair Fare Increase

Introduction: What happened, what will happen. Questions

Para 1: What happened - more detail, who will be effected, where is it

Para 2: Public response, why did it happen? When?

Conclusion: What are people going to do to fix it, long term effects, will it happen again?

Unfortunately for many people there has been a huge increase for rail fare across the country. Some recent reports have even given exclusive information and statistics that warn its the largest rail fare increase since 2013.

Obviously this national crisis is going to effect a huge percentage of the population. "Every year, 1.7 billion people travel by rail" meaning that this problem will cause a negative impact on 1.7 billion people every year. This means that there is not only a huge chance that you will be effected by this problem there is a a large chance you will be effected by this regularly. This isn't even a contained issue. Rail services across all of the United Kingdom have blown up their fares by more than 50% in the last 6 months. So what is everyone going to do about it?

 As you can imagine this news hasn't been taken lightly. It has been less than 24 hours since this has hit headlines and already thousands of furious rail customers have phone, emailed and shouted for change. You can't walk five yards in London anymore without hearing somebody protest about the unfair fare increase of 2018. Clearly with this kind of response there are some questions. Why did this actually happen? Who allowed the prices to get so high? these are just some of the questions that have been popping up all over social media in the last day. So far there has been no recognition of the problem by prominent figures in the rail industry.

How does the front cover of the set edition of Woman reflect the socio-historical context in which it was made? On the one hand I would say that the front cover of Woman magazine reflects the socio-historical context in which it was made because of the fact that the main image of the woman that is used on the front cover is a woman that would appeal to the target audience at the time the magazine was published. This is because most women at the time this magazine was issued would, stereotypically, have been housewives and very domesticated. They would have often taken care of activities such as: washing, cleaning, cooking and they were also seen as very maternal and, therefore, loving and caring for their children. The main image of Woman magazine appeals to this demographic because of the fact that she represents the ideal woman at this time. This is because of the fact that she is wearing practical clothes so that she can clean and cook easily and she is also wearing make

The contents page of the "Womans" magazine creates many assumptions about the target audience for the magazine. This is because  Betty Friedan (American feminist) said that advertisements portrayed women in a particular way: "Women are shown solely as: men's wife, mother, love object, dishwasher, cleaner and never as a person". How does the magazine's contents page reflect: Codes and conventions of the sub-genre of magazine? Social and cultural context of the magazine? The target audience? The contents page of the "Woman's" magazine creates many assumptions about the target audience for the magazine. This is because the contents page displays all of the articles that will be featured throughout the magazine. Most of the headings are very stereotypical of women at this time because they are things such as: beauty, cookery, fashion, home and knitting. This means that the magazine assumes that women would naturally enjoy and w
