-With specific reference to Kidulthood

Societies destructive nature has recently raised awareness worldwide globally through the rise in juvenile crime, intake of drugs, and underage sex; From the recent introduction of the ASBO, to the more sentimental approach of the 'Hug A Hoodie Scheme', a struggle within society has evidently been portrayed and has raised moral panic towards the 21st century youths of today. Youths have never been more focused upon then they have withint this primary era, whereby the majority of civilians remark that we're all 'going to the dogs', expressing there pessimistic aattitude towards the future. However, the root cause of this delinquency is so easily avoided, and continously changaing roles, and expectations within society may leave youths feeling both dispondent and unmotivated. The root cause for the majority of the behaviour of teenage females, and males alike usually derrange from poor family communications, or breakdown. Aswell as this a lack of stimulation within society that requires little money, is also pratically non-existent. Therefore has socity infact self created the era we all live within today? Most youths are infact bored and in search of purpose within soceity, and this is represented through the almost uniformed attire, of hoodies, and caops. Furthermore, however females are as Mulvey states 'objects of the male gaze', whereby in both contemporary text 'Kidulthood', 'Thirteen', and haistorical text 'Rebel without a cause', the females are merely in search of pleasing a male. More contmeporary reflections however arguably present females as a liberated free gender, wherby the use men merely as tools to succeed.
