The issues I've chosen to be a prospective topic for my documentary is Sexism, BTEC education and Commuter Etiquette. My reason for choosing Sexism is because it is an issue I personally battle with almost everyday. Despite being able to relate to sexism, I also think it is an issue that a society must be educated on. I think it is an issue of prerequisite mannerism of society to treat a person equally, regardless of their gender that is reflected as simply being human rights. I believe sexism can be quite a challenging issue to overcome due to traditional sex roles and expectations set for women and men. For instance, if a man insists on allowing a woman to pass through the door before himself or pays for a meal between himself and a woman, are these actions considered as a sexist mannerisms that boys are told to practice when they are older ?.
In contribution to debatable instances that contradict standing up against sexism, there are also linguistic expectations of genders roles. Females are expected to be more articulate and well spoken than males. While males are expected to speak casually in shorter sentences, excluding emotional language that females are often use. When conducting this documentary , I will be exploring gender roles in society and language while also observing sexism within children's education, homes and adults workplaces. The groups of people or organisations that could be interviewed for my documentary is a local educational institute, United Nations and their Gender Equality campaign HeForShe, Dating Match Makers, and a corporate organisation with a board of directors . Using these people and organisations will aid my documentary in exploring the presence of sexism in a workplace, in a classroom, within the education system and amongst social etiquettes.
My other issue is the BTEC education reputation. The BTEC education is commonly looked down upon socially possibly due to how it is a modern implementation introduced into education as an alternative choice to the traditional A-Level examination. That, and also to be quite matter of factly, not only do the top universities such as Oxford and Cambridge refuse to consider it as a relevant or sufficient certification of education, but also because there has never been an academically intellectual being , such as an MP or Prime minister obtaining the qualification themselves. This is possibly due to a difference of social class, thus the BTEC education is looked down upon even further. My documentary will question why top universities refuse to accept BTEC qualifications as well as explore their personal opinions on the qualification by interviewing schools, teachers and admissions representatives of various universities.
The last issue I would be considering my documentary to be based on is Commuter Etiquette. My documentary will explore the mannerisms of commuters and bus drivers and learning about commuters experience with public transport as well as the bus companies and bus drivers. I will have this documentary filmed as a video diary, capturing my own personal experience with taking public transport.

An interesting range of ideas.
