In class today we discussed the steps to explaining our thesis the paragraph given to us was very in depth and complex. When explaining my argument I just used my intro to kind of link everything together. From bar mitzvahs, to getting your driver’s license, even a girl having her first period, our society is full of different rites of passage to growing up and becoming an adult. There are many different ways that we start to view girls as becoming women and boys growing into men. One that is a major mile stone in every person’s life is the day they lose their virginity. Sex is something that almost everyone has heard about and discussed for the better part of their adolescent lives; also in recent years it has been subliminally messaged to us through a number of television shows and commercials. Sex sells, but should it be considered the driving force in what deems a child an adult? Focusing in especially on a boy becoming a man, sometimes it seems as if our society is encouraging a generation of promiscuous boys. The show Firefly addressed this topic head on in the episode “Jaynestown”. I felt like this was a good intro to my paper and really introduced my thesis well. I don’t know if I was just confused in class because all of this stuff we learned in high school so I don’t know that it’s any different hopefully our conferences will help us all out a little.
