After viewing Miss Representation I was overwhelmed with emotions: outrage‚ frustration‚ and sadness at the unfair portrait of women painted by popular media and culture. I find this topic very interesting and realize that this topic is always going to be highly debated and talked about. Women are often represented in the media in roles traditionally assigned by society‚ portrayed as passive and lesser beings‚ mothers or sexual objects. Both films highlight the impact of mass media on the notion

Representation of teenagers in Kidulthood (movie) I am going to be analysing the representation of teenagers in the movie Kidulthood.
