This documentary uses a range of generic conventions to position the audience to see Sam as a rebellious, mean teenager. This reinforces the traditional representations of contemporary society. The opening scene of ‘Educating Essex’ reinforces the traditional ways of thinking about teenagers through the generic conventions of a documentary. The opening scene has loud rock music which is the type of music associated with rebellious teenagers. The selective footage helps to show the bad behavior of all the kids picking fights, disobeying teachers, punching walls and not behaving.
Through Kidulthood we are able to take an insight in the lives of teens today. This informs the views about gang culture and the violent and somewhat threatening nature of it. Some viewers would be interested in viewing a movie that expressive the narrative that Kidulthood does, especially young British teens. They would want to know whether they have been portrayed correctly or as most of the time with producers presenting teenagers negatively simply because they have lack of experience and knowledge about the real life of teens in gangs. Kidulthood was a movie that in my opinion was captured in an accurate light that reflected some, but not all teenagers today.

In his essay, “Video Games Are Responsible for Increased Youth Violence,” author Ron Moten uses his experience working with troubled teenagers to uncover the negative effects of violent media. The problem he identifies is that violent media is responsible for desensitizing youth to violence, hence increasing crime in our society. Motten assumes his readers are educated and sympathetic, but uninformed of the threats posed by violent media. His purpose in his essay is to raise awareness of a connection between violent media and increased crime in society and to convince the audience that violent media needs to be regulated by laws. To achieve his purpose, Moten mainly uses ethos to appeal to his readers.

Ishmael finds the courage to participate. And finally he is confident enough to take the fight to Barry Bagsley; he can almost taste revenge for the humiliation he and others have suffered. The results are unexpected. Notes for teachers • The theme of bullying strong in the book: the name-calling, the victimisation of those who are different or less able socially are both ways that Barry Bagsley finds to belittle others. Class discussion could be based on a consideration of the characters and the different ways they deal with bullying.

The first question people seem to ask is, “who is more successful?” Well, it’s in your point of view.
Aggression, what both characters were affected by, is a horrible habit that can easily be prevented with proper help. Good Therapy clarifies, “Psychotherapy can have a profound effect in treating aggression and violence. Different types of psychotherapy may work better dependent upon personality and life experiences”. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on teaching people with aggressive and violent behaviors to better understand and control those behaviors, learn coping mechanisms, which helps them properly channel the thoughts and feelings associated with their violent behaviors and aggression, and learn how to properly assess the consequences of those behaviors. This type of
For example, when Bradley Cooper’s character works out a deal with the Officers so that they wouldn’t have to stay in jail over the weekend. He volunteered the boys to be used as a demonstration for the use of taser guns on criminals. The physical abuse and the situation is hilarious, but may be geared more to the present times. The gags and situations in these films are depicted differently for the audiences, as there is clearly a visual difference in the times the movies take place and the delivery of the material. The Hangover chose to use physical abuse to their advantage, where as Coming to America left went for a more situational, verbal approach.
I have seen, first hand, that high school students are becoming desensitized to things that are truly horrible. Today, anyone can turn on the television and watch a celebrity being handcuffed and taken to jail, but two days later, it will be announced that the celebrity had the charges dropped or something to that extent. It gives high school students the impression that because you are famous or wealthy, the consequences of your actions do not apply. This false sense of security leads many of those students try things like shoplifting or driving under the influence.
