4. Research/Brief Explanation.
The London Riots in August 2011, opened our eyes to the inequality,
youths feel in relation to the rest of society.
We will all agree, that the riots opened up our eyes to problems that have
been brushed under the carpet for too long.
However, the media, and government have not taken the youths issues
seriously, and therefore some could argue that this could happened again.
There are many factors regarding the cause of the protests, and this
episode will aim to answer them and conclude with a possible solution.

8. Research/Brief Explanation.
“We are the youth of today, and adults of tomorrow!”
This quotes sums up, why we as youths should take more responsibility
into the running of our society.
Only 37% of 18-24 year-olds voted in the 2005 General Election – the
lowest percentage turnout for any age group. But imagine if 60%, 70% or
even 80% of young people voted? It would change the outcome of the
General Election.
Many young people feel dissatisfied with the way the government are
running things, yet half of them even vote in the general elections.
“If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain”.
If we were more involved with parliament, we will get a better
understanding of how society is run, and even possibly have a voice
ourselves.
10. Research/Brief Explanation.
“Because we, as a society, are embracing technology without fully
understanding the long-term ramifications of this decision. We’re
constantly seeking out short-term gains and improvements without really
taking into consideration the whole picture for future generations”.
In the society where technology is taken for granted and where, tasks are
becoming easier due to technology, and short cuts, the question is; Are
we ruining our future generations?
Are we just moving with time? Or, are we just taking the easiest option for
everything?
The documentary series will allow us to analyse the society we live in
today, and conclude, if we are heading the right way, or jeopardising our
future generations.
