Has anyone seen Special TG1 Sunday night? No? Done well. Why was un'emerita stupid. Indeed, it was worse, was dangerous. The title was
We, children of today, we . So the argument is clear, no? Degeneration, generic, those characters who are now between 15 and 20 years, more or less, and are labeled with the word relentlessly young. Apart from that I have my opinion about what it means to be young, do not expose it, because it would be overflowing, and above all I guess nobody cares and I can only say that I do not consist of simple data. Here, however, the term young is used in the sense that they use the malerazze marketing: that is to simplify, transform people into objects and therefore a product that sells.
I try to explain. What they did wrong with those of the Special, I think? Well, first of all, they, of course, simplified. They provided extremely superficial image of those 15-20years, an image that, even worse, it is far from new: almost all young people are wicked and cruel, almost all of them are bullies, and almost everybody uses the phone for acts feisbuk of exhibitionism that can be as simple jokes or acts of violence against the weak. Clubbers are tangled, and pipparoli occasional thieves. There is the psychiatrist's case, hired to say that young people are narcissists. But it should be? There are also two nice ladies from the air and deep, that tell of absent parents, to what sucks the worlds of politics, than the negative examples are there for everyone, and so on. etc.. In short, simplification first.
But those of the Special (authors of the episode: Carlotta Angeloni, Marco barrel, Marco and Alessio Zucchini Clementi) did even worse: they have helped to "sell" to the young image of young people who do not bother, does not create problems, and indeed leads to imitation. The bet it has all the features of the programs "Youth": rhythm faster, mount made of short segments and juxtaposed, MTV-style soundtrack, fleeting bits of anonymous interviews that can irritate or tease, but in any case are not made to go beyond the surface. In this way, and it is only the humble opinion of this writer, you will help spread the phenomenon studied, "not to oppose him. The more you show a bad thing not explained well that is negative, it seems more likely that this thing is spreading.
Then at the end of the program, there are a few examples of "virtuous" thrown in with the usual odious technique of news services, as if to say things are bad, but there is always someone that resists, and this is cause for hope. Hope shit, I might add, because the image of the musician who does not use hardly twenty internet or mobile phone, and was invited to play the inauguration of President Obama is not - simply - realistic is an example for the unattainable Most young people. I call this hypocrisy.
short, the TG1 was transformed for one night in a program for "young" has bad information, because superficial and highly biased, distorted, and has sold out to "young" a representation of their own type propaganda, showing negative practices indiscriminately without explaining how it was that those practices are wrong. At the same time confirmed in young non-prejudice and stereotypes about "young people" without even making them feel too guilty. There was a minimum of serious psychology or sociology in that program, no explanation, only a show of bad behavior. It means a show recognition, acceptance, and finally spreading further.
Then I do a request to the authors: you think that television has part in all this? In what happens at school, in hallways and classrooms, courtyards, streets, inside the houses ... You how much you would you blame?
