Ill Manors: TEDx lecture blog task

1. Some peoples comments towards the lecture were negative but majority of them were positive and they supported what Plan B was talking about and the point he was trying make about our society today and our youth. In response to one of Plan B's comments about some young people getting criminal records some people were reluctant to this as they felt that if the youth themselves didn't care about themselves why should they be the ones to care for them. Even when Plan B was talking about the word 'chav' and the negative meaning that it brings across with it some people use it but not to people who are portrayed as being 'chavs'. 

2. Plan B's opportunities for young people are to help them with their life and their future so that they can better themselves. He has set up an email account for people to email him about problems that they've had. He has also helped children himself by putting one of them in the film iLL Manors itself but another boy was also recognised for his talents and was put into the TV series Top Boy with starts Ashley Walters and rapper Kano.

3. Plan B believes that people are victimising those who are from council estates and are labelled for their behaviour and the way that they dress. He has a very strong belief about the word 'chav' and the way that it is used and has become part of societies ideology in today's society. 

4. The target audience is targeting everyone from any age, ethnicity, race and country to help people who are in need of help and to help those who are seen as being poor or from broken families. This is seen as he talks to everyone as a whole to step in and help them to improve their lives and not to sit back and do nothing.

5. A moral panic is something that is created by the media so that it targets a wide population of people to indicate that there is some sort of crisis such as boys underachievement in schooling. This can be linked to what Plan B is saying as he is talking about the youth and the way that they are portrayed in the media which ultimately leads to a moral panic. This is also done through the use of the word 'chav' and the way people are cautious of them because of the representation of white working class people in the media.
