Learning on ScreenTeen Sexuality in a Culture of Confusion
- Synopsis
- Examines teenage sexuality in relation to popular culture. Eight young people, aged 16-24, talk about the forces in their lives that influence how they make decisions about sex; two of them talk about living with AIDS. Between segments cultural scholars examine the messages popular culture communicates about sexuality, gender, the body and beauty, looking at the economic, sociological, psychological and historical forces behind the use of sexual imagery to sell products.
