The Hook-Up Culture
An idea that I may want to explore is the “hookup culture.” With apps such as tinder, I feel as though today’s youth have been more promiscuous than those of previous generations. I think this is an interesting topic that has many different angles to it, and can easily be covered with different sources. Besides the home and contact pages (two of the five required pages), one page can strictly be used to tell the story of students that are willing to be interviewed over this topic. I feel as though I’ll be able to get stories from students/young adults that have “hooked up” or have opinions on hooking up and apps such as tinder that allow this to happen easily. Another page can have information provided by physicians/healthcare providers discussing the risks from a medical standpoint. The last page can easily be a page discussing STDs and tips on how to avoid them (contraceptives… abstinence).
Besides interviews that are turned into narratives, I can incorporate an interview that is filmed, the STD page can be an interactive map that the viewer can click through to find more information (kind of like this but not as childish), and I can incorporate surveys to see what percentage of my viewers do hookup. There is also a possibility of having a page with a discussion forum so visitors can maybe share their experiences (in a non-explicit way) or share their opinions on the matter.
Just an idea.
