A2 Media - Collective Identity: Websites

Kieron, Asmaa, and Craig

You are going to look at the representations of young people back in time, specifically with Mods and Rockers in an article from 1964:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/1964/may/19/fromthearchive

1. what does the article tell us about lives of some young people in the 60s?
2. what is the source of the information? what might we expect from this source?
3. does the information and comment live up to that expectation? If so, how, if not why not?
4. In what way has the representation of young people changed since then?
5. give an overview of whether this article represents young people fairly and/or unfairly.
