Read the following quotes from LFA ...

Jacob (p. 213)

Welcome to the nineties, Josephine. Women don't have to be virgins anymore.

Josie (p. 213)

Women don't have to be pushed into things anymore ... it's (virginity) not a prize and I'm not a prize. But it's mine. It belongs to me and I can only give it away once and I want to be sure when it happens Jacob ... or one day someone else is doing it. I don't want to do it, Jacob, because everyone else is doing it.

How does pressure effect Josie? What pressures do you experience in your own lives?

RITUALS, RULES & CULTURAL TRADITION

Josie states "We live in the same country but we're different. What's taboo for Italians isn't taboo for Australians." (p. 152)

1) What does the term TABOO mean?
2) What are the key differences between your culture or way of living and the stereotypical Australian culture or way of life?
3) Do you experience the same issues as Josie? If so, what? If not, why?
