Representation of age.

We have been looking at the representation of age. how age is representation in TV programmes and films, and how each age is shown differently. One programme that I looked at was 'Monarch of the glen'. this was about a 16 year old girl who went to visit her Godfather for a week. During the week of stay, it was her birthday. She told everyone that she was going to be 18, but in fact she was only going to be 17. She was trying to act older than her age and was drinking alcohol illegally. This represents young people as the rebellious type. Where as it shows the older generations as the more sensible type of person. The older people were seen wearing suits and long dresses. More smart clothes than they younger generation.
