Teen on Television
Teen portrayals glorify content that may show behavior that should not be performed. Many television producers do not take into consideration how much of an impact it has on young viewers. This is an issue in society because teens assume what is show on television, is okay for them to be involved in such behavior as an everyday lifestyle. Educating these young viewers about these actions is important to many, others may have their own opinions on how to deal with this situation.

  • The Culture Of Teenagers In The 1950's

    419 Words  | 2 Pages

    With every new generation of teenagers or young adults, there always seems to be this negative look towards the youth culture. What really strikes me is that it happens with every new generation. It seems like once a person hits their teenage years they suddenly become “rebels” of society, and for what reason? How do most adults see the younger generation? They are young people who have bad manners, no respect for the elderly, they are real tyrants, they do not stand up when elders walk in, they do not listen to their parents or teachers, they talk in the presence of adults, and they eat gluttonously (Socrates).

    Youth culture can pertain to interests in styles, music, clothes and sports. It also pertains to behaviours, beliefs, and vocabulary; this refers to the ways that teenagers conduct their lives. The concept behind youth culture is that adolescents are a subculture with norms, morals, behaviours and values that differ from the main culture of older generations within society. For instance, young men and women, teenagers in this case, are mostly represented as unpredictable and not easy to understand. In the film, Mean Girls directed by Mark Waters (2004), adolescents are represented as bullies, who use manipulation to achieve what they want and are two-faced with the people around them; they are constantly stereotyped as a high social group like the plastics and a low social group like the mathletes; also they are presented as young people that fall under peer pressure, and are overly concerned about their appearance and about being socially accepted.

    Many people believe that the younger you are, the more close-minded that you tend to be. It is by the will of our parents to teach common values, and what is morally right from wrong. However, the way they choose to educate us is the make-or-break moment in our lives.

That is why, in some cases, it is crucial to use sources of media that some deem to be overbearing or socially “graphic”.

We have all been witnessing unacceptable behavior by teenagers and children as well, however it is most likely to be labeled as “they are teenagers, they will grow out of it sooner or later”, but such behavior just showed up in our generation, whereas it did not exist in our parent’s and grandparent’s generations.
