Production Report 2

For this post I'll discuss the body paragraph in my rough cut that was adapted from my content outline.

How did you decide to use form to present your content in the raw material you’ve shared here? How did the conventions of your chosen genre influence your choices?

This is my second paragraph, and first body of my essay. It has a topic sentence, then follows in support of my argument and thesis for my essay.

How did the production of this raw material go? What kinds of any hiccups, challenges, successes, creative epiphanies, etc. occurred during the process?

This went smoothly, I want to make sure I am concise, but probably need to add more to the discussion.

Item from Outline:

1st body- 

-THE HOOK-UP CULTURE AND REPRECUSSIONS: (ADD INSIGHT FROM ARTICLE, BOOK, PERSONAL COLLEGE/SORORITY GIRL EXPERIENCE)
-- people are so uncomfortable with discussing healthy sex and sexuality, why should we change the focus and talk about it educationally
-Why the sex conversation is important: to ensure that girls realize that finding what they want during intimate times with someone, will help them learn and care about themselves and foster the growth of a healthier, happier, individual.

Adaptation of content from outline:

This is the generation of the “hook-up culture;” the inventions of “dating” apps like “Tinder,” with millions of users, have made it quick and easy to meet people with the intentions of “hooking up,” nothing long-term or serious. Kids also watch porn, see TV and social media, and it shapes how we believe women should behave in intimate situations. Yet, America also tends to shame sexuality, while in other countries, it is accepted and embraced. How can America fund both, abstinence-only sexual education, and mass-media that tells girls to be sexy and lusty for men? In a contradicting society, where girls cannot be “slutty,” but they cannot be too “prude” either, where porn places unrealistic expectations on women, the least we can do to keep women from being deceived and hurt, is to change the conversation.

Finally, a novel has surfaced that exposes the long overdue issue. “Girls & Sex,” by Peggy Orenstein, supports the need for a shift in concern for girls when talking about sex, in order to knock out America's societal and cultural pressures and misconceptions. If we can transform how we teach about sex, by having more honest conversations, and stop pretending that sex is solely a manufacturer of STDs and babies in academic environments, then women will be able to voice their desires, feel more confident and secure, and grow into happier and healthier individuals.
