Nastoletnie autorytety? Analiza działalności grup GoatFamLA i The Squad na portalu You Tube

The article is an attempt to present the image of modern youth based on the analysis of the content of popular YouTube accounts created by teenage groups of friends. These are the teams: GoatFamLA and The Squad. Considerable interest in the activities of these groups among viewers also prompted me to analyze the issue of whether their members - teenagers - can be perceived as authorities. The considerations have been set in the context of media education - they are therefore used to indicate the currently popular and important content for young recipients, as well as to present which patterns they may find attractive. The aim of the research was to critically look and evaluate the images of young people on the Internet, and to draw attention - especially to parents and educators - on the impact these messages can have on the development of young people.
