Sternheimer believed it to be “controversial” and feels it “exclude[s] a host of other factors” (207). Sternheimer feels it is these other over looked factors that are truly the cause of “young killers” (210).

(pg. 226-227) Winston is able to keep his sanity only for a short moment until O’Brien claims to have written part of The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism and that the book is just another tool the Party uses to keep Oceania under control. Winston never finds out if Emmanuel Goldstein is an actual person but he still held onto to the idea that there is a brotherhood somewhere in Oceania. If The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism was written by the Party it is among the many tactics the government uses to control its citizens. The Party manipulates language and creates newspeak, doublethink, uses technology to make citizens fearful of having thoughts opposite of the Party, and completely destroys any literature documenting the past.
The media is known to represent young people in particular set ways, and it can be argued that the mass media only represents young people as being a problem group. However, this view ignores all of the positive ways in which young people are portrayed, and the ways in which media content is aimed towards young people. According to source C, young people are often represented as being a source of social problems. Activities frequently enjoyed by young people, such as playing video games and drinking with friends, are often totally demonised by the media. This results in extreme and inaccurate views of the activities of young people, that often relies upon scare tactics and the over exaggeration of rare news stories in order to make such activities seem worse than they are.

Dear Editor, I am writing to complain about the representation of teenagers in the media. Specifically I am referring to the documentary Educating Essex and reviews of the show that appeared in the Daily Mail and The Observer. The Daily Mail describes teenagers to be “ignorant”, “wild” and “scumbags”. This suggests that teenagers are a social menace, who are violent and threatening to others. In particular the word “ignorant” implies that teenagers are clueless and unintelligent.
Bullying victims can have a lot of stress added on and it can lead to retaliation such as school shootings as well as suicide. Cyber bullying is the more modern type of bullying and some argue that it's the most harmful. When it comes to cyber bullying anyone can become the bully. The small scrawny kid can be just as harmful as the big kid on the playground. Cyber bullying can have a longer lasting effect on the victim.
Bias in media In the media it is expected that the articles are true, however; in some cases authors twist the truth to change the reader’s perspective. This can be seen quite obviously in the article ‘Party crawl turns ugly’ which was published in the Townsville Bulletin by Kate Higgins in early November.

Whether it is shopping, calculating numbers, typing papers or communicating, the Internet is being used increasingly.

Though the convenience can be a great thing at times, it can also be an extremely dangerous tool for anybody not using it correctly. With children and teens quickly becoming more social online via chat rooms, blogs, and different social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter parents are doing one of two things.
