Content Requirements:
For this assignment, you must write a 5-paragraph essay that answers the following questions:
Paragraph 1:
- Summarize the TED Talk including at least 3 details from the video.
- Don’t forget to use citations for the video in your discussion.
Paragraph 2:
- Define each of the three dimensions of human sexuality, using the textbook as your guide. Then, choose two dimensions that this video addresses and explain how each dimension is addressed using examples from the video.
- Don’t forget to use citations for both the textbook and video in your discussion.
Paragraph 3:
- What are two implications on or consequences of the content of the TED Talk on two of the following issues: sex, gender, society, or public health? (For example, if your TED Talk was about sex workers, what consequences might their work have on society? Or how might public health be influenced by the laws surrounding sex work?)
- Don’t forget to use citations for both the video and the additional source in these discussions.
Paragraph 4:
- How do the sexual health issues the video discussed relate to at least two of the following social institutions: health care, criminal justice, education, employment, voting and military? For example, if you described issues related to sex workers, how are sex workers treated within the criminal justice system? What are increased health care concerns? Remember that individuals within these groups or individuals that face these health concerns are diverse, how can we address the many issues faced without being overly simplistic? Be sure to use examples and evidence to support the impact that this health issue has within these institutions using additional information beyond the video (SLO 10).
- Don’t forget to use citations for both the video and the additional source in these discussions.
Paragraph 5:
- Now that you have described and analyzed the dimensions of sexuality and the impact of sexual health issues in relation to health and society, you will describe your personal values and beliefs about these issues. How has your opinion about these issues changed or stayed the same since doing this research (SLO 9).
- This paragraph can be completely based on your opinions. No references required. First person language encouraged.
