Notes from reading the chosen essay:
- Perspective of the youth is always from an adults’ interpretation in order to ‘serve the needs’ of adults’ society.
- Using peoples theories which support your argument, strengthens it (regardless of whether this subverts or conforms)
- Rebel Without A Cause – good example to use in supporting the era of youths out of control and generating their own identities. Young people are still related to the likes of knives, crime and theft. - The view of the youth of today remains the same. (slightly altered view)
- Use other forms of references – newspapers, films, tv.
- A strong negative representation of the youth is perceived.
Media construction is a dominant source.
- Misfits = stereotypical imagery ohf working class Brisitsh youth. Giving teenage protagonists superpowers creates a positive view. Perhaps minds of the media is changing slightly? Youths seen in a positive light.
- Mass media products represents young people in such negative ways. Technological developments offer young people the opportunity to construct their own representation and respond to mass media representations
Using key terminology and backing up theories and idieologies with appropriate evidence is shown and elaborated. The use of films/tv and how that represents the era of the youth is demonstrated clearly. The explanation of different films/tv series represents how the view of the youth has been alternating and changing through the years. Mass media production dominates the way youth are perceived through the news and other sources which makes it impossible for the youth to be portrayed the way they want as adults have control over the way we are represented.
