speaking and slang outlines social spaces, and attitudes towards slang helps
identify and construct social groups and identity (Adams, 2009:57). It means that
when someone uses slang, she/he exposes ideas, feeling, attitude as how she/he
wants to perceive the people that talk to and how she/he wants those people to

the difference between e.g. parents and children (in-crowd versus out-crowd), but
the children do not necessarily have wicked intentions with the use of slang. He
also mentions that slang is not slang until someone recognizes it to be slang

As the explanation above about movie, There are five types of movie that
1) Action
The action adventure movie contains formulas and components that include
the concepts of right and wrong, good “guys” and bad “guys,” physical action,
performance and athletic feats and stunts, and heroes overcoming obstacles and
2000; T. Sobchack, 1988; Troy, 1992). Some scholars believe the action
adventure genre provides certain perks and rewards to their audiences, including a
cathartic feeling caused by swift justice and a moral victory, sexual sensation
caused by the ebb and flow of excitement that builds and finally is released at the
end, stimulation and reward through action and effects, and inspiration through
2) Comedy
Comedy includes two types, the screwball/romantic comedy and the clown
22
on a romantic relationship, with characters overcoming problems by
off. These are often seen in films containing duos, such as crime/cop
3) Drama
Dramas focus on the plot and the script, focusing on the concern with
situation and plot (Elsaesser, 1995; Williams, 1998). Drama allows viewers to feel
powerful forces that make them victims (Lipkin, 1988; Williams, 1998). Drama is
a serious genre that includes tragedy in some aspect, conveys moral value through
emotion, and whose story is told through the dialogue that demonstrates and
1998).
4) Horor
Horror films are politically charged and contain nature versus materialism
and rural versus urban themes that allow viewers to experience repressed political
23
and social discontent (Kawin, 1995; Wood, 1988). Horror films are oriented to the
youth market who attend them to see their peers terrified (Sanjek, 2000; Tudor,
2002)
5) Science fiction
society’s anxiety about technology and its growth and potential for destruction
with the possibility of no future (Kaminsky, 1985; Kawin, 1995; Tarratt, 1995).
One of the most common themes in science fiction films is that humans are their
own worst enemy (Kaminsky, 1985; V. Sobchack, 1988). The fact that each genre
has a different focus and purpose might change the way people communicate with
each other. Action adventure films focus on activity, saving the day, and effects.
Comedies and dramas focus on relationships and plots, although in different ways,
with laughter and emotion respectively. And horror and science fiction films focus
on fear, again in different ways, through fear of the unexpected and fear of the
future respectively. Because the emphasis for each genre is on different aspects,
