Induction Task - Opening Paragraph


How realistic are the representations of young people in the media, particularly Skins and Sun Sex and Suspicious Parents?

 

I will be exploring the representation of young people in the media and how realistic the representations are.

In particular I will be looking at Skins which in general show both positive and negative representations and to a certain extent are quite fabricated. I will also be looking at Sun Sex and Suspicious Parents which does show an extreme of behavior in young people. To do this I will be applying particular theories, such as the hypodermic needle theory as these programmes could make people feel a certain way and stereotype young people in general.

I will be exploring Skins series 2, and a few of the episodes of Sun Sex and Suspicious Parents which will show the differences in behavior and morals of different gender and ages of the young people shown.
