Plan B Activity

1. I believe that the lyrics try to challenge the negative views of the youth subculture. It highlights the views we have, such as they live off government benefits, and avoid paying tax and other things. However even though it points these things out to us, and may seem like it is reaffirming our negative view, the lyrics then seem to give reasons for why these things come about e.g. community centers closing down. However despite the lyrics challenging our views on youths, the video shows us exactly what we think of them e.g. violent, thieves etc.

2. Examples in the video that show how we perceive youth are as follows:
- They are shown looting TV's and trainers.
-They are seen violently kicking and punching people, including police.
-They are seen swearing, mainly sticking up their middle fingers.

3. There is one occasion that I noticed. This was when a police officer is seen punching a member of a crowd for no disclosed reason. I see this as an abuse of power, although there is the possibility that it is out of context, and is made to look like an abuse of power.

4. I believe he was trying to show the audiences that just because we perceive youths as thugs, doesn't mean that all of them are. We stereotype them so much based on where they live, how they dress,
