Choose two articles from the mass media about youth. These pieces may be from television, or radio, newspapers, magazines, online or other media of your choice, but must illustrate a social issue particularly related to youth.

Compare and contrast the articles throughout your essay with reference to sociological debates on social inequality, political regulation, cultural representation, social structure and social change as appropriate.

Use of sociological concepts and theories will be expected both to demonstrate you grasp of them and how they shed light on youth issues.

You must refer to sociological sources other than your two articles throughout your essay.
