nude or semi-nude photos. The film effectively questions societal morality in conjunction with social expectations. In the stories of Audrie and Daisy, there is a power to speak against such abuses and social trends; rather, the lens zooms in on how rape culture affects policy.

First and foremost, they should be educated about sex at much younger age than they were in the past, because it is a different world we live in, and children are exposed to sex at much younger age. This is mostly due to technology, and the media. Also, the environment new generations are raised in is way more sexually immoral than previous generations.
