Brief outline

My Extended Project will explore how ''Sex'' is exposed in the media and how it is accepted nowadays. Sex is not seen as a taboo anymore- different to how it was seen proir to the 1960's as something that shoudn't be talked about, mention or even worse- be seen on television.

Now in the 21st century sex is nothing but normal thing, that is present in the media in everyday life. Sex can be seen in pornographic channels, movies, TV series, music videos & lyrics. Conseqeuntly consumers of the media sometimes do not grasp the fact that sex is being portrayed subliminablely through such things as music video's and their lyrics, leading to the young audieces to reciet outrages sexual lyrics which are unacceptable for young children to say.
