1. Stereotypes

2. Kids
Children can be seen in different lights to different people. There are usually two different views of children..
the positive – Polite, happy, bright, thankful and sweet child.
Grown up in a wealthy or middle class background with a loving, full family, dressed nice, clean and suitably.
Educated well, healthy lifestyle with Hobbies and activates. Who will grow up go to university, get a good job which
will support a loving family of their own.
the negative – Rude, screaming, violent and aggressive, selfish child.
Grown up in a ‘not so nice’ area maybe with a struggling background with a split or broken family, basic dress but
not a lot of choice. Normal everyday local school; if attending, unhealthy – eating junk and drink pop, computer
games as a hobby. Who will be a drop out, underage pregnancy's, end up going down the wrong path leading to
maybe even prison, not much of a family of their own, old and lonely on benefits.
When actually, the average child is a mixture between both extremes. Different backgrounds do reflect on a persons
life and personality but its down to the individual to have the life that they want to.

6. 30 Something
The „30 something‟ age is past the late teen – adult, starting real life but not being taken
to serious, but when life could maybe become tough and a struggle, or if lucky,
exciting, positive and meaningful.
‘They revel in their own perfection. The world is their oyster. Their education is behind them and they’re well
into their perfect, exciting careers. They’ve assembled a perfect little family; have a perfect house and a couple
of perfect cars. Of course they’re the first humans ever to have accomplished such things, too, so they are
rightfully bursting with smug pride and gloating self-importance. They are obsessively acquisitive. If it weren’t
for 30-Somethings the retail and service industries would go bankrupt. They’re earning money and have
unlimited credit so they buy everything in sight. And it all has to be the best, the newest, the latest.’
Carla Connor
Carla is a successful business women who owns her own factory which makes underwear.
She is said to like; Fine wine and Designer clothes and dislikes Careless driving, Cleaning
the oven and Lazy workers. She always looks glamorous and nice, and her flat/apartment
looks a lot nicer than the other living spaces of others in the show which evidently shows her
wealth and style. She had a late husband, fell in love with her best friends man, Peter Barlow
and then became engaged to Frank Foster who turned out to be a rapist. She had trouble with
alcohol and became an alcoholic and recently lost her factory. Obviously being in a TV series
her characters life and story has been exaggerated as most don‟t suffer to that extreme.
