Due to the influences of the media teens believe it is ok to have lots of sex without taking proper precautions. There are many teens who do not even know the dangers that sex brings. Unprotected sex can lead to unplanned pregnancies, STD’s and HIV. While all of these effects of unprotected sex are bad, HIV is one that is increasing the most each day. HIV is a disease that is sweeping the nation due to multiple partners and unprotected sex.
Megan Delawder Pornography Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility January 19th 2014 Instructor John Meeks Over the years there have been many arguments and debates over the morality of pornography. I believe it is important to identify the definition of pornography. This essay will define pornography as sexually explicit materials, such as pictures or videos, which downgrade women. Utilitarianism believes pornography would have to bring out more happiness than the absence of pornography for it to be moral. With that being said, pornography could be moral if it brought out happiness after viewing pornographic material.
Lately, there have been many news stories about young adults who have committed suicide due to cyberbullying. In today’s society, the internet has become very common and it plays a major role in teenagers’ lives. They can shop, express their thoughts, and even make new friends online. It is also important to note how easy it is to distribute information across the internet in very little time. While there are positive outcomes of the internet, there still exist dangerous aspects to it, such as bullying.
However, dilemmas in sexual ethics are not only approached through religion, for instance, in ancient Greece both Pythagoras and Stoics believed that the soul was imprisoned in the body and can only be released through the disregarding of the base pleasure, sex. According to the bible (such as the text of Leviticus 18:22) it is stated that homosexuality is wrong, and that one should ‘not lie with man as one lies with a woman’. The dilemma of homosexuality, however, is not the only problem faced within the teachings of the Catholic Church, first Corinthians 7:2 claims that ‘because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband’. It is clearly noticeable that marriage is a key theme within the bible and both same sex marriages and sex outside of marriage are taken very seriously. However, current times have changed dramatically and new methods around solving dilemmas have been approached, rendering the bible perhaps useless within society when sexual ethics are taken into account.
Becomes a very life changing for most. We should actually face that kids or should I say teenagers are already actually exposed to these type of situations within their own knowledge. It becomes no strange for them to hear these type of acts. It has been proven that most are even having their own sexual experiences (not rape) around the ages of 16 – 18 years old. I believe readers around these ages shall have the ability to be exposed to this kind of literature so they could be able to comprehend such shameful
Children from any age group have been introduced to all sorts of music genres containing explicit language and situations. The majority of music released is either about having sex, making money, going to the clubs, or doing drugs. Women are also being seen as merely sexual objects, and degrading them has shockingly been natural to hear amongst the general public. For example, in Akon's song "Smack That" featuring Eminem quotes, "Smack that, all on the floor, smack that, give me some more." Having the entire nation listening to these lyrics takes a step back in civilization and reversing any progress feminists have done to gain respect of women.
The creator of the show, Brenda Hampton, said that the original title was The Sex Life of the American Teenager. In fact, it would not be surprising to find that many viewers would agree that such a name is much more fitting. Once again, the title, or what could have been the title, just gives the first glimpse of the show’s preoccupation with sex and all the inevitable baggage it brings. Teens hook up, break up, and make up at an alarming rate, bringing in a multitude of concerns ranging from abortion and child abuse to promiscuity and abstinence. While the show may have begun as a warning against teen pregnancy, it since has come to include a whole slew of dramatized
They say that there are too many cuss words or sexual interpretations. But that isn’t new to kids. Most kids our age cuss freely. Many kids our age know about sex. We aren’t in the dark about this.

Unity brings strength upon the people but when it comes to dealing with sex in America everything else shatters. There are so many songs that influence sex among young adults. Lyrics talk about having different partners, but in reality society considers that to be fiction. Today many artists have involved themselves with young people and it is viewed through television. Many nations describe America as a place where freedom rules and sex sells.
