Producers and writers need to not only show that casual sex is good but also as bad. By producers and writers I mean the people that make the movies and shows the public views. Television, the shows and movies aired for public to view. And by showing casual sex I mean showing that sex as something good to practice on a regular basis. Producers of television shows have been putting too many scenes in movies and series showing casual sex. This isn't just a problem in the U.S. but throughout the world wherever movies and shows are broadcasted. Viewers usually only see the good side to sex from television and movies. It's depicted as something great that everyone does on a regular basis, before marriage. There should be more or at least equal emphasis on the bad things that can happen when people are careless with sex. This would teach the youth today a good lesson on the bad and sometimes harmful outcomes of casual sex. Society should even things out by showing the bad outcomes of casual sex. .
In theory we can say that life imitates art.(http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/1997/02.27/AIDSExpertsUnit.html Copyright 1998 President and Fellows of Harvard College) What people see in movies and on television is going to greatly influence what they do in life. If all a person sees from a child to adolescent, and adolescent to young adult that sex is just something you do with whoever and however many people you like. They will be more apt to engage in sexual activities on a regular basis, just like they"d seen. This means they will be exposed to and spread sexually transmitted diseases. If people see more of the bad outcomes of casual sex, and that it's not all joyful and fun, they will be more careful with their decisions. If people are aware and see these downsides to sex and not just the joys, in theory, the cases of STDs will go down. .
To get our point across we need to show there is a need for steps to be taken in the first place.
