To what extent does the nature of an institution affect the representation of CAGE in a given text?

To what extent does the nature of an institution affect the representation of CAGE in a given text?
CAGE stands for class,age,gender and enthnicity. The nature of different institutions affect the representation of CAGE for example for an audience for 'skins' the age is very specific as it is aiming at one target audience, although the gender and ethnicity is irrelivant in this TV drama some shows specify on one gender for example 'sex and the city' is targeted at just women.
If a piece of TV drama is aimed at a higher class audience then the language would be slightly different. The use of semiotics would also be much more frequent as the people making the programme would expect their audience to understand the hidden codes within the dialouge.
