Representation Of Social Groups.

Representation of social groups

The social groups we are trying to represent are teenagers and girls. We are representing there groups because our opening is from the point of view of a teenage girl. 

Teenagers are often stereotyped as 'thugs' and 'chavs' We are trying to contradict these stereotypes by portraying a strong, independent teenager, just minding her own business and surviving. They are seen as lazy kids who do nothing to help others but our character is battling through and coping on her own, We are hoping to show people that teenagers actually can step up and take responsibility when they need to.

Females are usually seen as being 'girly girls' and hate to get dirty. All they do is clean and don't do any manual labour. We are trying to show that females can also do the hard work, when they need to. A lot of people say that female wouldn't survive situations like this. That is exactly what we are going to contradict. We want to show that they can survive and they can cope.
