How far does the representation of a particular social group change over time?

We have seen through television and film that British teenagers have been portrayed differently through time. In Misfits we see how British teenagers behave nowadays and see that they are disrespectful and rude towards others. We see this in the first scene of misfits where the british teenagers are shown to be rude when they swear, fight and ignore there probation worker. This shows how british teenagers have become rebellious. When we look at Marcuse's theory of passive audience we see how this may have effected the audience and how nowadays people accept youth acting in this way as the norm. When we compare this to An Education we see how teenagers in the 1960s acted. In the scene where we see Jenny and her friends smoking they are very excited and feel that they are being rebellious. this shows that it was not very common for teenagers to go against the "rules".
