The document discusses how a media product represents lower middle and working class social groups. It describes a young millennial character who feels social pressures and may steal due to peer pressure, jealousy, or a desire for attention. The character is depicted with simple, layered clothes to stay warm as name brand styles are not affordable. The environment shows a suburban location with small streets and detached housing, indicating low urbanization. Signs of aging, low investment, dirt and rubbish on streets further suggest an underdeveloped area with limited resources.

Young Millennial going trough anxious times.
He is getting pushed by social standards
Also the motivation for the theft often the result of
peer pressure, or because some young people like
him may find it cool or daring. Its stated jealousy
may also be a factor because kids like him want
things their classmates have, but can't afford them.
Also he may want attention from his parents or
friends.

Overall I tried to make the main character look poor,
but in such a extent that he still somehow tries to
keep up with the clothing style of wealthy social
class 3
FURTHER FRAMES
Simple
wool gloves, who
are quite cheap
but keep warm
Many layers
of clothes
Since many millennials
are often under social
pressure to have a
particular style of clothes.
This style always needs
to be up do date, which
however is sometimes
not achievable for many
Young people, specially
from working classes.
