1. The language and the selection of images creates a bad representation of young people and a negative effect. The mis-en-scene creates a bad environment which isn't a positive for young people. 

2. Owen Jones said: there is a new modernised Britain and working class have become an object if fear rises within the media and this is why David Buckingham mentions him 

3. Results showed that 40 percent of articles that included or mentioned young people primarily focused on violence and not their positive achievements. Also, 71% of the overall articles presented them in a negative manner.

4. Moral panic can be applied because the coverage created a fear representation of younger people. 

5.  The things that were blamed were: rap music as they have a undisciplined nature there were many other causes e.g. the Tottenham shootings 

6.  I believe this is when social media had a massive effect and a big break through and the government got involved. BBM and Facebook were blamed as they were used to organise shop looting. However the arab Springs was a new democratic change. 

7. This can be linked to the 2 step flow theory because people were listening to opinion leaders and their followers relied on them for answers and views and news. 

8. This just shows how people know have the chance to express their opinion and don't fear what they say because of digital media. 

9. The right wing had a negative response and mainly the people were saying these people cant be controlled. 

10. Left wing were blaming society and looked at the big picture. 

11. The riots had many different causes, the biggest that triggered the anger of the people was the shooting in Tottenham, however people then had to motive to get free items. 

12. Capitalism can be blamed as we now live in a materialistic society and many individuals believe their worth is characterised by their possessions.

13. People that were involved in the riot didn't have the chance to voice voice their opinions. This had continued the representation of young people because society have injustice. 

14. I have sympathy for the people's whom shops got destroyed as they done nothing and this took time to replace and effected their local businesses. More people kept on following the ones already doing it therefore i don't have sympathy for the people who rioted.
