Update on Progress

Here is an update on what we discussed at our last meeting. There are some links to videos and article if you would like to take a look.


Video Outline:

- Google search

o Video of someone doing the search

o Show what comes up for image and web search of virginity

- Textbook definition

- Introduce concept of “virginity” as just a word

o While flashing slang words for virgin (deflower, v-card, pop her cherry, maidenhead, v-gripped, virg)

- Indentify focus on North American Society

- Why do these words have such meaning?

o Media, education, government, religion

- Education: Found these good videos about sex education in Ontario…(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJajAFCZPM4&feature=fvsr) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIz498m2X6Y&feature=related)

- (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PbhBgqLnPU&feature=related)

o Quotes

o Try to find an old sexual education video

o Pictures emphasizing how ridiculous the story is

o Emphasize how it still has implications today

o Talk about sex education in schools today

- Government: What else has government told us? age of consent, etc

o Look to authority to clear things up

o Should the government pay for women wanting to revert their virginity?

o Government spending on abstinence only (http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=409&Itemid=336)

o Video that we found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Xy-RQgLFI)

- Religion: who else emphasizes abstinence only?

o Use of fear to delay sex

o Cartoon

o Bible quotes

o Virgin Mary scene from a walk to remember (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD08zTvaNl4)

- Media: recent outlet for sexual presentation

o Television comparison (I love Lucy vs. Sex and the City)

o Reality show (women selling virginity)(http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/05/10/2010-05-10_australian_filmmaker_takes_virgin_auction_reality_show_to_las_vegas_after_threat.html)

o Purity rings

o Music content (article about how music content effects teen sex)

- When you take the social meaning away from the word, at the end it is still just a word…so why does it have such impact on society?

To do: work on script for next meeting
