This document discusses how media represents different social groups. It first defines representation as how media portrays people based on factors like race, background and age. It then lists common social groups seen in youth dramas and high school movies, including students, teachers, parents, athletes and others. The document notes that some works aim to challenge stereotypes about these groups. Specifically, the author's media project aims to challenge stereotypes that link things like hoodies to troublemaking, and tell stories from their point of view about people who got involved in serious crimes like murder.

4. OUR REPRESENTATION
in my title sequence we choose to challenge
stereotypes. we challenged stereotypes like the
assumption that every youth wearing a hoodie is
looking for trouble. In the movies like "kidulthood' they
confide in stereotypes to highlight the stupidity of
them in humorous but at the same scary and realistic
manner. We choose to appose this, instead we
challenged stereotypes to tell our story from our point
of view of what's happened to people we knew that
have been good genuine people but took the wrong
way or have spoke to the wrong people and locked
behind bars for committing the biggest of crimes like
murder or fraud.
