The Representation of Age


old people 
  • stereotypically shown as vulnerable and weak
  • speak slowly
  • lonely
adults
  • arrogant
  • money driven
  • selfish
young people
  • rebellious
  • typically like fast paced music - rebellious
  • talk fast
  • slaves to fashion - insecurity

why do adults hate young people

The adults work for us to do nothing. 
We are rebellious and we have no ambitions for the future. 
Most young people are unemployed. 
Young people have no responsibility and freedom, adults want to be able to be spontaneous and carefree. 
They are jealous, they were too scared to lead the lives we live now.

why are adults obsessed with youth
we have beauty.
anti age creams make women want to look younger.
tv drama is made by adults to the viewpoints of adults - adult viewpoint.
old people stereotyped as pervert(family guy herbert the pervert)
