Critical literacy

Is this text fair?
- I think its not fair if all men dont drink that are Maori and PI, because most of the time it can get out of hand
and take it out on the wrong people.

- But I also think its fair if some drink because some or most problems can get sorted out in many different ways. Also men with that ethnicity can help their mates to stop from drink driving to stop problems that could occur over the time once they get into the drivers seat.

How are children, teenagers or young adults constructed in this text?

- By Their parents not having a good influence on their children, and showing whats not good. But it also shows a point to kids and teenagers that drinking and driving is not a good combo so they decide not to drink. Also maybe cause it can teach bad situations that can occur when drinking.

How does the text present age, gender or cultural groups?

It present the ages in adult years and a couple children and also a few teenage years. 

Why is the text written this way?

its written this way as a good situation happened by this boy saying that they shouldn't drink and drive as he didn't have good thoughts in his head for if he was to drive himself. 

Conclusion

to sum this all up i think that the young man has chosen a good idea to stop his mate from drink driving
