In this essay I will argue that the media representation of Indigenous Australian’s is stereotypical and distorted. Far from a true reflection of Aboriginal life and practice‚ the media manipulates the interpretation of what white Australia view as the life of an Indigenous Australian. I aim to show that cultural stereotyping‚ and cultural sensationalist reporting exists within the media‚ and therefore the general public. I will provide a basis for this argument starting with the views and cultures

Stuart remarks that there are several definitions of cultural identity. However‚ he uses it in terms of the idea of "oneness" of people.

The representation of youths in ‘A Clockwork Orange’ and ‘If….’ I will be investigating how youth is represented in the films A clockwork orange (1972) and If….
