Human Traffic
Do you think Human Traffic encourages or glorifies drug use?
I think in certain scenes Human traffic does encourage drug use because the audience can view the amount of fun they have as a group of friends and strangers that they can socialise with that they wouldn’t normally do when not under the influence of drugs. The audience can clearly see how much fun they can have, an the confidence boost they experience when clubbing and partying anywhere, they experience such a high and the group of friends Human Traffic presents to the audience shows they do it together as a group and experience the same fun and feelings as each one of them do, they go through it all together. From the points I have mentioned above I think this British film does encourage drug use to the audience and not so much glorifies it.
Theory – Effects model
The hypodermic model. This sees the audience as duped and doped. Media is the opium of the masses and suggests that it can hypnotise the populace.
The theory I have mentioned above fits in with the encouragement of the use of drugs and how it can be an experience as shown by the characters.

Well done, Becky. Don't forget to offer a counter argument, even if you don't agree with it. Finally, why do youth cultures consume music, fashion and drugs?
ReplyDeleteYouth Culture consume music, fashion and drugs because the way the media broadcast youth culture is how it is seen that they consume music, fashion and drugs.
