The document discusses collective identity in youth culture and the media's influence on youth identities. It explores how the media historically portrayed negative stereotypes of youth that reflected adult anxieties and reinforced societal norms. Films like "The Wild One" from the 1950s showed rebellious, delinquent youth that threatened mainstream values. This could lead to moral panics among adults but also inspired youth seeking alternative identities. The media plays a role in constructing ideas of normalcy and deviance.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The concept of a collective identity refers to a set of individuals'
sense of belonging to the group or collective. For the individual, the
identity derived from the collective shapes a part of his or her
personal identity.
Collective Identity is the idea that through participating in social
activities, individuals can gain a sense of belonging and in essence
an "identity" that transcends the individual.
KEY WORDS:
Stryker: this theorist
suggested we interact
with others to create an
identity, this is called
identity negotiation.
This develops a
consistent set of
behaviours that reinforce
the identity of the
person or group. These
behaviours then become
social expectations.
3. KEY WORDS:
Foucault: This
theorist believed people
do not have a 'real'
identity within
themselves; that's just a
way of talking about the
self -- a discourse. An
'identity' is
communicated to others
in your interactions with
them, but this is not a
fixed thing within a
person. It is a shifting,
temporary construction
CCoolllleeccttiivvee IIddeennttiittyy:: YYoouutthh CCuullttuurree
Identity is a vacillating idea as it does not determine a person for their
whole life, but merely adapts depending on their social circumstances.
We, as human beings tend to have a number of different identities –
however we will adopt certain characteristics that make us recognisable
to other people.
4. KEY WORDS:
Hegemony: A
leadership or
dominance, especially by
one state or social group
over others.
Gramsci: used the
term hegemony to show
how the dominant class
can project its own
ideologies so that those

accept it as 'common
sense' and 'natural'.

• Studied sub- cultures in 1970s.
• Subcultures allow youth to express opposition to society and

• Style is key aspect of subculture – attempt to resist hegemony.
• Representations tend to be limited: Youth as fun or youth as
trouble.

• Key Quote: “Subcultures try to compensate for
the failure of the larger culture to provide
adequate status, acceptance and identity. In the
youth subculture, youth find their age-related
needs met.” (Tittley, p.2).
• Youth are no longer children but they are also not yet
adults, i.e. they are too old to sit in with Mum and Dad on
a Saturday night watching Casualty, but they are not old
enough to get into bars, pubs and clubs etc. They do not
have a fixed identity at this point so they form these
subcultures to forge their own as a collective.

Kelman (1958) wrote about social influence and identified
three areas of conformity:
•1.Compliance – public but not private conformity
•2.Identification – influenced by someone who is liked and
respected
•3.Internalisation – completely accept the beliefs and
behaviour of a group and conform publicly and privately
11. YYoouutthh SSuubbccuullttuurreess
Thrasher (1927) studied gangs in the jails and on the streets of Chicago.
He found various reasons for young people joining gangs, including:
•A sense of family – mostly from broken homes so desired a group of
people to feel part of.
•Guidance – again, because of lack of family guidance they seek
someone to teach them and to help structure their belief system.
•Solidarity – giving them the self-esteem and security that they longed
for.
•Gangs were forming in Chicago as a result of urban neglect. These
young people represented the “inner cracks of identity that occur in the
turbulent years of adolescence”.
12. YYoouutthh SSuubbccuullttuurreess
• Willis (1977) studied British youths and
found that they were struggling to deal with
the changes sweeping post-war Britain.
They therefore developed these ‘deviant’
subcultures and employed a variety of
strategies including “outright aggression” to
deal with these changes.

Theory: George
Gerbner believed that
the more time people

Marcuse suggests that
the mass media carry with
them prescribed attitudes
and habits, certain
intellectual and emotional
reactions which bind the
consumer and reduce
them to a mindless mass.
– leading to a passive
audience.
This could/and would lead
to Cohen’s idea of Moral
Panic. The feel of the
youth imitating what they
see.
Acland argues that media
representations of
delinquent youths actually
reinforce hegemony. They
do this by constructing an
idea of ‘normal’ adult and
youth behaviour, and
contrasting it with deviant
youth behaviour which is
shown to be unacceptable.

Cultural theorist Henry A. Giroux argues that in media
representations of young people ‘youth becomes an empty
category’ (1997) which reflects the anxieties and interests of adult
society.
From this perspective media representations of the collective
identities of young people are constructed by adults, and serve the
needs of adult society.
This approach to youth identity and the media raises several
questions about the relationship between media and identity.

Introduction
Henry A Giroux argues in media representations ‘youth becomes an empty category’
reflecting the concerns of adults.
•media representations of youth serve the purpose of the middle class adults who produce
them
•media representation of youth reinforce hegemony
•Explain how you are going to be exploring this in ‘The Wild One’
Historical Representations
Media representations of young people have always tended to be negative, look back at the
ancient quotes describing youth.
Main focus
‘The Wild One’ (1953) shows a motorcycle gang terrorising a small town. It focused on a
delinquent, anti-social youth.
This representation reflected anxieties of middle class adult society, in relation to the threat
to hegemony posed by young people. – use specific examples.

1. How does the opening of Rebel Without A Cause help to
demonstrate Giroux’s idea of the youth being an ‘empty
category’?
2. What is the main character’s identity?
3. What do you think the ‘adult’ fear might be?
4. How might this have created a moral panic amongst the older
audiences during the time?
5. What do you think the hegemonic values are in the opening?
6. How might a younger audience respond to this opening?
