Cultural Changes (Soaps)

How has British culture changed in the last quarter of a century?

British culture has changed drastically. I think soaps used to be very reserved about using different religions and people of different cultures.

If Britain is now a multi-cultural society, do we see evidence of this in British soap operas?

In my opinion we do see multiculturalism in soaps from day to day. For example if you watch an episode of Eastenders you can instantly see different social groups, cultures and religions. When soaps first started to air teenagers never used to get any on screen time whereas now the vast majority of soaps include teenagers in every storyline.

Do minority groups feel as represented in soaps as a majority culture?

I think a few cultures are represented but not all of them. This could indicate a lack of budget or laziness.
