Reflect on the CI 6/10

My question that I wrote was 'how are teenagers represented in society in the 21st century? how /why are they not show optimistically in teen movies'?
The group has helped me in another question why is ' An investigation into the relationship between contemporary teens movies and earlier dated movies in society. What are the connection and similarities presented and what makes one more successful'? having shown a relationship this will help me understand and help me with making a comparisons and similarities also between movies on different centuries. In order to have a primary and secondary source i should insure that i look different teen movies and teen soap such as inbetweeners, skins, W10 LDN. Looking at British and Americans film would help me, which allow teens portrayal in these two areas. There are large varieties of representations to look at. I should also look into movies reviews on teen film possibly of reviewers ideas on how teen are presented in certain film. Marxist approach: Hegemony: why/who decides how teenagers are represented the dominant people in society (Shep). The ideas of people making decisions for the majority seems 'alienated' in itself. Why do some peoples ideologies and belief get heard and notice about teenagers and other don't. People think that they are deciding what to believe however the written producer etc.
These ideas definitely helped me, i have changed my mind in to a different platform, i thinking in to look at television how is teenagers portrayed in reality TV show or how teenagers attitude changed so this will be on newspaper and magazines.
