5. Christianity traditionally do not accept
homosexuality
Roman catholic churches, Methodist,
evangelical say that homosexual acts are
immoral
United church of Canada and the united
church of Christ do no see homosexuality as
sinful and immoral and accept marriages.
6. Homosexuality is seen as sinful and perverted
and not normal in Islam
They say that if you are a Muslim homosexual
you should commit suicide since they can't
be punished for being homosexuals in a non-
Islamic state
Those who practice this evil have submitted
themselves to their own desires and have
turned their backs on the clear teachings of
Islam.
7. On TED talks I found a debate on whether gay
couples were allowed to get married
Some questions that came up were:
How do you feel about people being homosexual
(girls and guys) and why?
Do you think that the individual should be able
to have the same rights as everybody else, as in
join the military?
What are your feelings why a gay couple should
or should not get married, plus reasons?

8. The purpose of this documentary is to look at
different debates in same-sex relationships
To see whether society has really accepted
and the different opinions of people
For people to find out what different
religions think about same sex relationships.
9. They would learn about the difference
between a civil partnership and marriage
They would learn about how media has an influence on
this:
10. They should learn about this topic because in
the media its usually very popular
Also they should learn about it because so
many people have different opinions and how
some people are not treated as equally as
others
Why society have accepted and why it has
changed over the years and the importance
of how much society has changed.
11. The audience would be from the ages of 16
onwards as I think this documentary would
have a mass audience.
Religion: atheist. I don't think someone who
believes in God would want to watch this
documentary
Also because it would be aired from 9pm
Ethnicity: white/black British American. I do
not think the majority of Asians or Arabs
would want to watch this
12. This would be an informative documentary
It would be informative because:
It would show different types of religious
ideas on this
Worldwide issues
Different opinions from people
How society has evolved
Why has it come to this stage?
Different campaigns going on
13. Episode 1:
Same sex marriage: where is it legal?
Episode 2:
Religious views and political views

Campaigns and different debates about
same-sex relationships

16. Bands such as “n-dubz” have been blamed for the
rise of violence in east London.
A London grime artist was put into jail for life after
murdering a rival music producer following a row
over lyrics
Channel U has been blamed for broadcasting music
videos which include violence and the uprising
numbers of violence in today's youth
JME who is a London grime artist said that “Music
videos are like tools that young artists use to earn
respect from their peers, to 'represent” this shows
that the violence that is being used in these music
videos are a way to be able to rise in respect.

17. Research shows that those who as children were
exposed to violent TV shows were much more
likely to later be convicted of crime.
Girls who watched more than an average amount
of violence tended to throw things at their
husbands. Boys who grew up watching violent TV
shows were more likely to be violent with their
wives.
The results of a study released in March, 2002
that tracked 700 male and female youths over a
17 year period showed a relationship between
the violence in TV and the way they pick up
habits in later life.

19. •Case study: in 2003 a boy

•Also the case study from the

21. The purpose of the documentary is to find
out whether violence in the media does
cause behavioural problems in children
It is also to find out the different debates
and what the public think about this
The purpose is to also find out the different
opinions of parents and whether their
children have been affected by this
22. They would learn whether violence really
does cause violence and how much percent
What different physcologists say about this
Why do people think that it does/does not
cause violence
How the media shows violence nowadays
compared to before.
23. They should want to learn about this topic
because if violence in the media does cause
crime then parents should be aware of this
Also for the parents who are providing money
for their children to buy their video
games/music to learn whether or not they
are doing the right thing
Whether this topic is just being over-thought
about.
24. My target audience would be teenagers from
13-18 because they may be addicted to video
games and are mostly influenced by music
video nowadays
And also parents who have kids at age where
they would play video games or watch TV
It would appeal to parents because it would
show them whether or not their child is
being affected and also what they can do
about it
25. This documentary is informative and
observatory
This documentary informs parents on
whether they are spending their money on
the right stuff for their children
It gives different point of views from
professors
Its observatory because it finds out the
different opinions on whether violence in the
media causes crime and observes the
different case studies involved.
26. Episode 1:
Violence in video games
Episode 2:
Violence in music videos
Episode 3:
Violence in the news and worldwide issues.
27. Does violence in the media cause behavioural
problems?
I chose this one because I do not think
people are aware of this as much and it
would be interesting to see the different
arguments and view points on this subject.
