Wider Context:

Social Context: Segregation in schools. May highlight more serious issues of segregation and exclusion that occur across all schools leading to bullying, social problems and low confidence issues.

Historical Context: American idealism?
Young characters are depicted as hard working and honest (Contrasts shown through the characters Ryan and Sharpay)

Economic Context:
‘HSM’ was a produced as an ‘OCDM’
Was not released in the cinema yet was a BIG money maker.
Was such a huge success that Vanessa Anne Hudgens who plays Gabriella was able to launch a music career.
Slight sociological link to the economy in general .. Film encourages individuals to work hard at all that they do. By subconsciously applying this to education a skilled future workforce is promised.

Political Context:
Spreading American values.
Worldwide distribution.
