Research 7

Another way that teenagers are given a bad image inb the media is the use of comic strips and cartoon images for example.http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/directory/s/school_violence.asp this web-address shows cartoon images that have been created to show school violence, the problem with these cartoons is they paint a exagerated pichure of school violence for example example them wearing bulletproof vests for school.i will look at more cartoon stereotype images to help give me a better understanding of young people in the media.

Research 6

This i decided to focus my research a recent program on T.V. This program is called The Pride Of Britain Awards, it focuses on the success the british citizens accomplish, many are acts of selfless acts of bravery (Real Awards Real Heroes). This program promote a positive image of young people in the media, so this is a prgram i plan to analyse in a great deal. An example of a postive image that this program produces is for example there is a positive story that is the opposite to all the stereotypes given to teenagers. A young teenager whos mum was ill because she did not get enough vitamin D, her son found that during their holiday the sun helped her, after the holiday the son went on to researching and then he raised it to the goverment and now he goes around with well known politians argueing his point.This shows that he is commited and brave and not lazy or selfish.

Research 2 programs

So far in my research i have found how teenagers are repsented in the media, and so far i have came to the conclusion that its a negative opion.So i set out to change this opion in order to do so i will need relevent statistics which i plan to get in later research. Firstly though i want to analyse two TV programs that repesent teenagers, both promote a negative image of teenagers in the media. These programs are going to be Waterloo road and also the Inbetweeners.

Firstly i would like to do a quick sum up of a waterloo road  episode in this episode it  shows a troubled teenage lad and his x girlfriend (Maxine), the teenager boy turtored by love decides to shoot Maxine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Gumxj21Fw

This partucular scene shows a bad image of teenagers, as it links to the news in many ways which is how they show them full of emotion but manly agression.(i will come back to this episode of Waterloo Road and analyse it in more detail and taken in consideration of other episodes).

Next on the engender is The Inbetweeners, this show covers the lives of four reblious teenagers, that simply sum up the attitude towards teenagers in the media for example bad language and distruction of property. For example the next clip i show is a scene from The inbetweeners and it highlights both of these poiints very clearly.

But although this program shows reblious teenagers it does prove a valid point theres only four there so its not like every teenager repesents themselves in that maner, and it also shows that teenagers are just looking to have fun for example when will says "i must admit that was brilliant".

My research

So far i have showed diffrent examples of teenagers in the media and how they are repsented, i have showed both views for example i used the army and an article about teenagers and how they are repsented in the media.
I feel this week i should look at bad repsentations, so for my first piece of research this week i have took a diffrent approach i searched in google catoon repsentations of teenagers i found this :http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/cartoonists/gri/lowres/grin454l.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/directory/t/teenagers.asp&usg=__R9BQBZpEcRqBUYonR1WwYBSilpY=&h=400&w=398&sz=30&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=7k11MNwl6sWsnM:&tbnh=141&tbnw=140&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcartoon%2Bof%2Bteenagers%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1362%26bih%3D562%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=396&vpy=63&dur=7899&hovh=225&hovw=224&tx=182&ty=169&ei=jK_NTOFpwojhBqTDzNwM&oei=jK_NTOFpwojhBqTDzNwM&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0
This shows the image painted by people of teenagers.
For my second piece of research i have decided to look at the learning programhttp://www.channel4learning.com/support/programmenotes/micro/sexliessoaps/prog2_outline.html
this shows how teenagers are repsented in the media through soaps such as emmerdale.

This week i have decided to focas on figures of knife/gun and crime iin general in England involving teenagers.

29th December 2008 - New Knife Crime Statistics have today been released by the Conservative Party

http://www.insight-security.com/facts-knife-crime-stats.htm
The only problem with these figures is that they may be old, i hope to improve these in later weeks of research.

Research.

This week i have decided to take a look into what the newspapers say about teenagers and there choices, for my fist piece of research this week i have looked at a article from the independent Its name is Behind the stereotypes,http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/behind-the-stereotypes-the-shocking-truth-about-teenagers-421295.html. This article shows that not every teenager is the same, and the fact is only a handfull of teenagers are troublesome.

My second piece of research i have done is proving a point of not every teenager troublesome and only caring for themselves, The age you can sign up for the army when you are 16 http://www.army.mod.uk/join/15381.aspx this shows that out of the many of soldiers alot of them are young showing that they care about the country. Doesnt this prove that not all of teenagers are trouble makers.

I looked at another piece of research

For my first piece of research i looked at a scene from waterloo road about gun crime, waterloo road is based around teenagers and the stereotypes in the media. For my second piece of research i will show another clip from waterloo road about dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9txb4LYEFHorug.
So are teenagers doing a bad thing or just experimenting because they are youngsters?.

This week i have.
