What did Powell et al 2013 suggest

• There is a lack of resources and facilities linked to education but also social facilities like nightlife etc - Young people especially crave this and move to urban localities to look for that

Question 4

Why do young people feel like their voice is not heard in rural locations?

Answer 4

• This could be due to the parish councils, which are usually run by much older members of the community
• Quite a centric thinking system and they may feel like they are trapped within this lifestyle

Question 5

Why would they want to break the patriarchal lifestyle?

Answer 5

What did Farrugia 2016 suggest?

Answer 6

• ‘Youthful subjectivities’ are associated with urban locations, for example, social media stars and inspirational people that young people tend to follow tend to be urban located
• In the countryside, there are fewer role models and cultural templates that young people can relate to.
