I am considering focusing on the shift in acceptability of sexuality in media with a focus on Brokeback Mountain and RENT. Try and revive the paper I wrote last summer. Also maybe a focus on independence in adolescence focus on Veronica Mars. Are generations becoming more independent particularly in women. Obviously women have more independence, but maybe how the media promotes independence, but also how having companionship is important. Throw in a quote about nothing survives isolated.
Veronica Mars is this super cool badass chic who goes through this period when all of the people she trusted turned on her. She has to learn to walk down the halls at her high school without giving people hugs and saying “hi” between every class. She has to learn to stick to her own ideals even though so many people are against her. She learns to not to trust people or for trust to be something that is not to be given away lightly.
How is independence portrayed in movies and TV? Independence in media is focuses on a person’s ability to exist without anyone else and be comfortable in their own skin, but it is impossible to exist in isolation. Struggle of co existence. Independence and teens. Independence and self image. Independence and family expectations.
