Abstract |
|
|
| This study aims to highlight the misconception that the new generation awareness regarding essential principles such as gender identity, religion, nationalism is strongly influenced by the media. Despite changes perceived in their choice of clothing, food and words used in daily living this my not reflect significant changes in their deep values. The adult exaggerated fear of youth being easily influenced by media may be unfounded. Societal changes on some aspects like appearance and behaviour may not necessarily reflect changes in deep beliefs and local values. Adults may overestimate the impact of such observed changes in youth appearance and behaviours in these deep local and regional values. Youth may not be as vulnerable as commonly thought by the adults and despite external changes deep values were still preserved.
This study was done using the youth responses to material broadcasted through Netflix and specifically issued related to gender identity.
