Media issue/debate:  Masculinity & the impact of representations on young men

Link to Media key concepts (MIGRAIN) - at least THREE:
Genre- very linked to a action and crime fiction film that a film that is mainly going to be watched predominately by men. 
Audience- mainly going to have a effect on the audience such as the way take drugs and always training which makes men want to do the same to be more masculine.
representation- young people are nive and are easily influenced.   

Wider context - impact of text/topic on society: Why is your chosen topic important? this is a important topic because more and more young people are starting to take steroids and felling like its something of the norm. on the other it has also effected the younger audience who have idols that are all most likely taking steroids; not admitting to it. 
Despite the Dangers of Steroids, Bodybuilders Are Still Tempted, mixed message seems to be that physical fitness is best achieved through a combination of exercise and drugs. users of steroids are all aggressive and violent, On the afternoon of November 15 1994, Adrian Doorbal, a weightlifter with a penchant for extreme violence and a steroid habit that was playing havoc with his sex life, sat in the front seat of a rented van, waiting to abduct the millionaire owner of a Miami deli.
