It’s not correct for the society or adults to term teenagers as sullen and unruly because the impact of the stereotype of adolescents in the nation is always severe and has significant negative consequences. False stereotyping of adolescents both in the media and the community as the worst group lowers their self- esteem and also lose their chances of finding the best job opportunities that might come along their way.   In modern society, Mass media has played a significant role in the widespread of teenagers stereotype, particularly in developed countries.

Depending on the nature of the profession and the foundation that they are built on, the source of information that is considered as truth can always be different. In a profession like that of the military, the source of truth mainly relies on scientific knowledge and experience (Mendelsohn, 2013). For a long time, the terms and conditions of the military have been coming from the skills gained from other blocks. Not restricted to the military officers of their wing, though, the troops will always want to know what other blocks were able to do when they were faced with the same situations.
