I found some useful information about our project. Some people also did this topic. And it is easy to get thier experiences and basic research. And I just think more target audience? Why only young people? We can enlarge the movie to media producers and parents for them to get knowledge about " stop swearing". Moreover, I think more about how to promotion and marketing our product.

There’s an interesting anti-swearing initiative which is being undertaken by a professional soccer team in the UK – Barnsley FC, from League One (the second highest level of English professional soccer).Barnsley is in Yorkshire, in the north of England, and is a traditional old mining town. Not much mining there these days ... but I’m sure the rough and ready traditions of swearing continues unaltered! Michael Parkinson – he’s a legendary English journalist and broadcaster. He was born and brought up there.There’s brief mention of Barnsley’s anti-swearing initiative on the BBC News Online web site. It says:“Barnsley will pioneer a Football League initiative whereby their players and managers will wear microphones wired up to the Oakwell (that’s the name of the ground where Barnsley play) PA system as part of an anti-swearing campaign. (Barnsley official website)”.Might be worth looking at the web sites of Barnsley FC and the Football League to find out more - and see whether I could work something similar into our campaign.

I just been looking on the Sydney Morning Herald web site ... and I see there’s a recording of a debate held in Sydney this evening which was titled: ‘Freedom of expression or license to offend?’








Most people believe in freedom of expression – up to a point. Few would support the yob who maliciously yells ‘fire’ in a crowded theater? But what of the artist who offends our ideas of innocence? Or the politician who stokes the flames of racial hatred? Or the cleric who preaches that all other faiths are false? Under what circumstances, if any, might we silence those who offend – one, some, many?
