LR- Re-write your introduction for the actual question setting out your case study and an answer.
Using the group or place you have studied, consider whether media portrayals are more complex than simple positive or negative representations. (48 marks)
As society has become more diverse, it is debatable whether media portrayals are more complex than simple positive or negative representations. Successfully, Institutions and editors use verisimilitude and Mediation as a way to hypodermically syringe negative or positive representation of the youths in London. Conversely, the complexity of these representations defines the lack of misunderstanding between the older and younger generation. Negative representations can be identified as sufficient, representing the dangerous (Alvarado) and troublesome youths (such as the London riots). Yet these can be opposed to the good representations such as Top boy, where we are persuaded to represent the youths negatively because of conflict but the little boy overrules these stereotypes because of how he takes care of his mentally ill mother. Another example of a positive representation would be the London Olympics where youths are viewed as quite dominant individuals, taking part in the dancing and creating a lively atmosphere, Whilst, although Adulthood emphasises the negative representations of a particular percentage of youths in London, its moral message represents how some of these youths can change for the better.
