Ill Manors: TEDx lecture blog:

1. ) Ben Drew, "Plan B"'s political views are as common as the majority of people in the UK, that what rules and policies set by politicians cannot be changed, and as a result people will just have to accept it. Instead, Plan B aims to at least aid that situation. He intends to help the dysfunctional, socially deprived youths and lead them to a better future, and to do this he aims to occupy them in order to keep them out of the streets. He mentions an example of a hairdressing academy, where the transitioning is easy from one extreme, and requires only menial skills. His ideology of the youth and his way of communicating with them is through the use of "swear words" and his choice of genre. Plan B thinks it is a way of 'meeting their ends' and to gain their familiarity to then having a more likely chance of the messages he's trying to provoke in young people. He ultimately wants there to be a mutual support between himself and the troubled youths of Britain today.
2. ) Normally, the demographics say that TEDx audiences are from a diverse, non-partisan group of people, usually adults that have a more plausible topic to share or listen to. But as opposed to Plan B's film audience, the demographics have a whole turn of groups. Naturally, the audience would be a whole lot of pre-fans from Plan B's music, however attraction solely based on Ill Manor's plot, moral, etc would appeal and interest more to those who have genuine and educational interest, so this would most likely be adults.
3. ) Cohen's theory of 'moral panics' state that an event that occurs, and one of that with enough drama for "media worthy material" can be altered and taken a turn into an output of a bad image. Plan B strongly believes the media has used a tip of the iceberg, creating a whole mass of bad stereotypes on London's youths. This is a perfect demonstration of the hypodermic needle theory, and as a result, the media will twist and change parts of stories to make it as worse as it can with no regards, just as long as it is good enough to publish out there.
