Delna, Bravo!
How about contrasting the goodness and badness of TABOOS?
Seriously, taboos invoked properly on children can save their little lives, when their wiring isn't advanced enough to get the "WHY" of something being bad. In adulthood, Taboos absoluteness is diminished by adults having the ability to exercise options to get around any impediment.
Now, how do we get this into something the masses will connect with and enjoy? If you promise to "change-the-names-to-protect-the-innocent", perhaps DrBob would let you make allegorical reference to character archetypes depicted in these archives. Ask him to think it over. May be legal limitations, but the archives are a wealth of stories about situations you might be looking for.
Best of luck and remember, writers write! That's their job, that's what they do. Distractions are almost everything else. Doesn't mean you can't have fun along the way....
