Birth control has been a topic that has been the source of many debates over the past several years. By understanding the psychological and social factors that are involved with this product will help to explain why it has been a sensitive topic for so many people. The perception of birth control is that it encourages sexual relations prior to marriage.

The visual codes in the video represent young people as they are very explosive and vibrant. The man in the video has a typical hipster look with a weird hair style and out of control beard, something that you’d see most young ‘hipsters’ with.
