A negative representation is better than no representation at all. Discuss this statement with reference to the group or place you have studied

-considering the young people case study no representation is better then negative representation.

-London riots- totally negative representation of young people- which lead to a generalisation of all young people.

- which lead to TV programmes and movies showing negative representations of young people- resulting in hypodermic needle and institutions injecting a negative values of young people and audiences accepting also leading to the general public stereotyping young people in daily lives

-news values- over exaggerating certain things that are related to young people(due to silly season)- creating a moral panic

- no representation is better- as it enables the youth to represent themselves the way they like for example speaking about certain issues or fighting for what's right.and helps to build their own image within the public eye. and how each individual can have their own image instead of all being stereotyped in a negative way.
