Assignment Introduction

As a group, the contemporary issue in sexuality that we have collectively decided to discuss is the concept of virginity in today's society and how it has changed over the past century.  Our plan is to create a youtube video that illustrates the contrast between historical and present views of virginity and how the society we live in shapes these views.  The four main components of society that we will be focusing on are: government policies, religion, sexual education and media portrayal of sexuality and virginity.  We will also discuss whether the shift in the view of virginity is a positive progression for sexuality or a  negative symbol of increased promiscuity in our society.
