Introduction to Activity theory: Using activity theory to 
understand human behaviour (Part 2) by Mary van der Riet

"In Part 2 of this video series, activity theory is applied 
to the problem of human behavior, particularly in relation 
to behavior change and HIV and AIDs. The video focuses on 
sexual activity as the activity of the system, and 
illustrates how an activity system analysis, through an 
historical and current account of the activity, provides a 
way of understanding lack of behavior change in response to 
HIV and AIDS."
