Reflection — Visualization

Challenge

This challenge tries to approach the adolescent female population with the aim of acquiring a

greater understanding of the influence of the new "premature sexuality" and corroborating the fact

that the majority of the sample deals independently the topic. Considering issues such as the early

development of women and the premature start of their sexual activity, including men's reaction to

this type of event.

Selection

Visualization is an insightful tool when it comes to direct evaluations of the adolescent female

population, which is what this challenge will address, because it is a key component in the way of

communicating what is thought or felt, in this way we are able to see more beyond just an induction,

we can conclude with the content that is provided to us.

Application

Every day, my group and I (all are women) use the visual approach to assess how teens approach

problems "independently" because they don't feel safe to comment on what happens to them most

of the time. The organization has broken the use of this tool countless times to take advantage of

direct approaches, managing to define parameters and identify the weak points and opportunities

of the population to be studied.

Initially we brainstormed to evaluate the best resource, we planned a series of meetings, informal

interviews, with adolescents known to the organization because they had related problems. Such

interviews would be given with psychological mediators who would help in the analyzes to

determine the best conclusion about premature sexuality in girls. We group ourselves in pairs to

give comfort to our "sample" and make them free to express through a drawing and, of course, its

words any fact.

Once the necessary resources were identified to carry out the interview process or direct contact

with the sample, we described hypothetical situations that led to evaluating their mentality and

maturity regarding the issue of sexuality and how they approached it. Considering your comfort in

expressing yourself, we make sure to deal with the situation "under the hood" if I can put it that

way, and let your words take over the interview, as teens have one common detail: they like to be

listened.

Approach

With this approach we consider the following points: need for attention, maternal understanding

according to the dialogues and their extension, social impulse with respect to the people with whom

they surround themselves, the maturity demonstrated directly towards us (the organization).

Seeing their drawings about the hypothetical situations and throughout the dialogue I discovered

that learning from teenagers is taking advantage of the future, because in the end that is what they

are, the future. The different points of view and the social impact on them is what has moved me

the most during this work. However, it would not have been possible without a diversified work

team like the one I belong to, since all these women are trained for social services and dealing with

minors and adolescents.

Insight

The brainstorming work was gratifying because the different analyzes, perspectives and projections  carried out by each one could be brought together to concretize the possibilities: most of these girls  are not listened to or at least not in the way they want it to be.

I chose this topic and this sample because adolescence is an age of change and I know it because  most of my group of friends is. I still study and constantly surround myself with adolescents who are  desirous of attention and who seek to "fit in" or get carried away by social impulses. How much  attention does a girl need? Most parents think they really hear or understand it, but the reality is  quite subjective. These girls are brought into premature sexuality by the same society and  environment, I think it is something that can be changed.
