Representstion

Young people are represented to be vulnerable and in danger by the paedophilic behaviour through Habbo hotel website. the phrase "children's brottle" is used to show that young people are being victimised by the older generation. this links to dyers theory of power and stereotypes where young people are more literate in regarding to technology although they still don't know what their doing if they are getting themselves into trouble by paedophiles on the internet.

This also shows that young people are in need of protection even though they are more IT literate than the older generation. this is also an example of the users and gratifications theory and comes under surveillance. this means that parents, carers, guardians are the group of people that need to know this information. 

Lastly, the only people being represented on television are white middle class men. No young people are being represented this means that the opinions regarding this story line are from an older generation. No young people are shows to represent their views against it.
