Critical Perspectives Essay: Youth - 

• Do media representations of youth reflect societies perceptions and concerns?

Society is the pinnacle of the confirmative masses norms and values held within the traditions of culture; the collective identity of youth conform not to the main ideologies but instead to that of their own subculture, as coined by Cohen, of varied principles to the wider society. Such is the process of structuration that the constant relationship between social structure and human agency is flexible and liable to change if the masses norms and value change. Youth as a deviant culture of human agency bend and flex the rules of society perhaps before they are willing to change.
