Section B

  • How do the contemporay media represent British youth and youth culture in different ways? (Film, TV, Internet, Newspapers)
  • How does contemporay representation compare to previous time periods?
  • What are the social implications of different media representations of British youth and youth culture? (Old people comparing)
  • To what extent is human identity increasingly 'mediated'?

Material to cover are 3 elements:

  • Historical- dependent on the requirements of the topics, candidates must summarise the development of the media forms in question in theoretical contexts.
  • Contemporay- examples from five years before the examination.
  • Future- must demonstrate personal engagement with debates about the future of the media forms/issues that the topics relate to.

Must talk about all of this in order to achieve high marks.
offer a balanced argument.
