Instead of doing a thesis project, I'm looking to do an independent study on my idea, of which I really need to narrow down. Because while the violence in video games lighted this fire, I'm not sure I actually want to incorporate or how to use the comparing of the acceptance of violence and the acceptance of sex and nudity. We're in a strange society where public nudity is frowned upon and even wearing a crop top can get you labeled in a second, yet advertisements in magazines, on billboards and in teen stores, such as Hollister and Abercrombie are half naked men and women.
Below are a couple articles that I need to read that my dad sent along to me that deal with comparing America's view on nudity compared to other countries.
I feel like the bottom line, the striped down (no pun intended) message that I want to get across is that nudity and sex will always be a part of our society, or it will cease to exist, and the naked human body doesn't have to be so taboo.
Or even the way sexually active women are perceived compared to sexually active men, this whole saying of the key and lock is bullshit, sexist, and ridiculous, and makes me more angry than the amount of violence accepted in video games.
I really want to take a whole semester and narrow down and explore this issues, that very well might always be issues.
