Shameless

1. Should images in your case study be censored - If so why!?

Shameless has had scenes encouraging drug use explicit images of pills being taken at the pub in everyday life. This politically incorrect lifestyle isn't portrayed in a negative way very often. Drug taking is often portrayed with having a good time including alcohol consumption and fighting.

2. If you think your case study can have a negative effect on collective groups, Could it have a positive effect?

Although drugs and alcohol consumption isn't portrayed in a negative fashion on the whole the lifestyle of the residents included in Shameless isn't one where we would look up to or aspire to be like. In the sense it could give the impression to steer clear of crime, drugs, etc, etc. People being put away in jail for committing crimes also creates awareness of the consequences of doing such things.

3. Do you agree that your case study could influence someone's behavior?

Yes I agree in the way that drug taking is included in the program in such a 'day to day' way. this may influence others that this isn't such a big deal as these people don't think of the consequences and consequences arent always shown as a direct impact on the person.
