Question

In what ways do the media texts referenced above create a representation of young people as being a danger to society?
  • Through their clothes- young people are often labelled through what they wear. For example, if someone wears a hoody then people assume they are violent and aggressive towards society.
  • By highlighting their bad behaviour as opposed to good behaviour- The London Riots etc.
  • Placing young people into groups within society- Mods and Rockers etc.
  • Through their music taste- Older generations believe that some young people's music is offensive and encourages their bad behaviour.
