The show 'Skins' is based on the individual lives of college students going through their A-levels. It represents youths as being rather rowdy and not caring what consequences may come through their actions. Throughout the series it shows the teenagers getting into trouble with police and parents but although it represents teenagers in a negative light, they are also represented in a positive light too. Throughout the series it shows the teenagers helping their friends and other people out, despite them being represented as selfish and rude. The older generation is also represented in this show, however not as much as the younger generation is. During a lot of the series they are shown looking down on a lot of the teenagers for their actions.
'Father Ted' and 'One Foot in the Grave' represent the older generation as grumpy and arrogant. Both of the television shows show the ladies as rather ditsy and the younger male in 'Father Ted' is shown as rather unintelligent. The oldest men in both of the television shows are presented as extremely opinionated and do not take much of a liking to the younger generation.
The media represents the younger generation as lazy and violent while the older generation is represented as grumpy and narrow-minded. These representations are rarely ever true and well, if they are, they do not apply to the whole younger/older generation.
