M:




I: the bbc are a public service broadcaster and have to fulfill there misson statement which is to entertain, inform and educate whilst being innovitie. this means that there approach to youth culture has to serve a positive purpose and be new and cunning. however some institions portray a negative sterotype in order to achieve a profit and possible to influence mainsteam ideologies in order to ensure there overall economic interest(marxism).




G: most genres in mainstream media are targetted at youths this is because the most popular age group in advetsiment and marketing is that of the 16-34 demographic. so anything mainstream appeals to them appose to niche markets.




R: Many youths are given a negative portrayal, there main focus revolves around sex,drugs and crime. the majority of youths are portrayed as loud, rowdy, disrespectful and disobedient. In adulthood the youths are portrayed as sex obsessed and involved with a lot of violence, however Alicia plays the role of a single young mother who her only priority is to look after her baby daughter. A small minority of youths are portrayed positively for example the programe junior apprentice portrays them as successful, well mannered and ambitious. "World Strictest Parents" Both teenagers went out drinking, did drugs, smoked and had underage sex, which was probably done either by peer pressure or following the crowd, but all was done without discipline but as the show progresses the teenagers behavior changes and there attitude towards life and there family changes.

A: the youth culture has been hot topic in the media for a number of years there is a numerous number of reasons why these might be the case. for example the mainstream media is targeted at youths and therefore they are interested in seeing them selfs in the media(user and gratifacations theroy).

I:A savage mind has the same structure as the civilised mind and that human characterisitics are the same everywhere this statement relates with the youth culture just because they are portrayed in a certain way through the media it doesnt neccessarily mean they are bad people.
