Newspaper 

This newspaper article is showing very young girls that are trying to be the best they can with their body, to win the award of Miss World. Even though no one wants them to, they feel themselves that they are expected to look the best and will do anything to try and be the best. The media makes them look like they do noting else but work there hardest to try and be the best, but they do it in the most unhealthy way. It shows a negative representation on young girls in the early teens to mid 20s, because it makes them look like they will go through anything to try and look good to win modelling awards.

Magazine Cover

On this magazine cover, it represents men aged around 40-50, to dress up smartly, and act sensible. It also says at the bottom the cover "This is him smiling (you wouldn't want to see him pissed!)", giving the reader an idea that he gets angry quick, or is angry a lot of the time. This could make a representation of men in their 40s get angry easily at things, like the football or their work and other things. Also he is wearing a very smart suit and jacket for the cover, making him look very smart, representing men to look smart because they all normally have jobs and have to look smart as well. stereotypically showing that men in their 40s dress smartly a lot to look make themselves look good around others in public, but are short tempered and when they get angry they can be almost explosive. 

TV show

In this TV programme, it is about late teenage or young adults going on holiday without their parents and just their mates for the first time or somewhere far for the first time, like Spain. But the parents will use the show to see what their children have been up to on their holidays and see if they can be trusted on their own. When they are on holiday with their friends, the parents will think that the first thing they will do is party and get drunk and try to have sex with complete strangers. Most of their predictions are right and this will give the young adults a negative representation through media, because after watching this they will think that all they do when they have free time is binge drink, part and have sex. But rarely are the parents are wrong, their children will just have a normal holiday, they will drink but not too much, and will enjoy their holiday by relaxing or doing other activities. This can also give a negative representation on the parents because it might show through this episode that parents won't trust their children even though they are doing the right thing and could prevent them from enjoying themselves, being too 'clingy' and getting in the way.
