Barry Glassner's Book on Adolescent Rebellion

Paper Summary:

This paper explains the argument presented by Barry Glassner, author and professor of sociology, that the American media inflames and exaggerates instances of adolescent rebellion and juvenile delinquency so much so that society no longer recognizes that some rebellion and acting out is normal.

From the Paper:

"Whatever happened to juvenile delinquency and the age of rebellion for adolescence? One could hardly believe those phrases to be in existence during recent years. It seems that there is a disorder or some sort of psychological problem to explain any problems a juvenile might encounter against authority. No longer are there teenagers who can make mistakes and still be considered normal, or proper, by society. "
