Critical Analysis Assignment #1: Media and Sexual Socialization
We know that the media plays an important role in communicating a wide variety of sexual messages and meanings. This assignment will require you to closely examine some of those meanings and think about the extent and importance of those messages to sexual socialization and learning of young people today.
Choose a form of media from the following list:

1. Television
2. Movies
3. Music
4. Advertising
5. Social Media
   Engage in critical analysis and discussion of that form of media, evaluating how important
   you think it is in the sexual socialization of young people in the US. If you choose television,
   movies, music or advertising, you should engage in some form of historic overview,
   comparing examples of that media over time (i.e. songs from the 1960s, 1980’s, 2000’s and
   today) to show the shift or change in the sexual emphasis, degree of explicit content, etc. of
   that form of media.
   You should also closely examine the actual content and comment as to how it contributes to sexual learning and socialization. You should include in your presentation examples of the media you are analyzing.
