The aim of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the course material as well as your ability to critically analyze issues and apply concepts related to sex and sexuality. . INSTRUCTIONS: . In this assignment I’d like you to reflect on your own values, attitudes, and experiences related to sex. Be sure to utilize and incorporate sociological concepts throughout where appropriate. Use your text, the lectures/powerpoints, journal articles, media for a total of two academic sources (like your textbook, websites, journals, powerpoints/lectures) to back-up your thoughts on the topic of sex and sexuality. Answer all questions below. Remember, your own personal opinion is important because the way you’ve been socialized by your agents of socialization have shaped your views on sex/sexuality. Therefore, I obviously expect to see a lot of that. However, you should also make your responses academic in nature. Include examples where appropriate; thing and delve deeply into these responses:. 1. What are the top three things in your life that have most influenced your viewpoints about sex and sexuality (some things to consider: religion, friends, family, age, hometown, TV and movies, etc.)?. 2. How would you describe your values and attitudes toward sex and sexuality?. 3. Do you have any prejudices regarding sexuality (hint: everyone does)? Why do you feel you have these?. 4.

How do you plan to approach the topic of sex with your children (assuming you had some)? At what age? How do you justify your choices?.
