Pornography helps us to free ourselves from the abstinent attitudes about sex that have long dominated our society. As for that, opponents believe that pornography is not harmful and should therefore be legally tolerated. I totally disagree with that statement as pornography causes people to have more negative attitudes towards women to engage in harmful behaviours like rape and child molestation. We can find pornography facilitates and child molestation in several ways. For example, pedophiles often prefer children close to puberty who are sexually inexperienced and use pornographic photos to demonstrate to their victims what they want them to do.
During the first decade, people thought that the virus was just for gay people because there was a large amount of gays who had this disease. (Wafaa M. El-Sadr, 2010).The HIV virus is transmitted by sexual relation, by blood transfusion, and mother and child transmission. To prevent HIV, there had been some prevention programs which were created (Friedland, Tanya Schreibman and Gerald, 2003). In the past decade, there was a movie named And the Band Played On which was created to show people behavior when in that period, and the government’s role. So, did the government have a big role in the spreading of this disease in US?
Turley argued that violent toys offer advantages because they aid children in channelling their aggression and seen as a valuable vehicle to process violence. However he failed to address how this could help convince zero-tolerance parents who viewed violent toys as an encouragement of aggressive behaviours and violent attitude. Despite putting in reasonable effort in his claim of having a healthy dose of violence, the result would as undesirable if violence had been misinterpreted or mishandled such as in the case of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings. Turley should therefore be educating parents on guiding their children when playing with such violent toys and not exposing to children directly. While Turley provides sufficient amount of evidence from various professionals, the essence of the author’s original argument that violent toys should be seen as beneficial was lost in the midst of quoting the many opinions and research of other individuals.
Initially, it diagnosed as a rare form of pneumonia that occurred in homosexual men and then later as a rare form of cancer (Fan, Aids Science, and Society.p.3). Yet, its effects became so devastating that there were more that 641, 00 cases if AIDS reported correctly in the United States between 1981 and 1997 (Fan, Aids Science and Society P. 4). With similar details, author Randy Shilts, addresses those issues in his book, And The Band Plays On, provide a substantial depiction of the AIDS
Even children’s programming has some sort of sexual innuendo in it. It sparks there curiosity and leads to them having sex at an earlier age. Why would you not want to educate them on safe sex and how to protect themselves against disease? While I do agree with Rush Limbaugh on the fact that the only way to prevent disease and unwanted pregnancy is to abstain from sex, but what happens when they do decide to have sex and have no idea how to use a condom? There will be diseases spread and unwanted pregnancies.
Dear Dr. Allan Yee, My name is Samantha Jolie and I am a grade 10 student at Milliken Mills High School. I am writing this in hope that the Markham Stouffville Hospital would be part of our Milliken Mills HIV/AIDS program. My main goal is to spread the message of this outrage sexually transmitted disease known as AIDS and to raise funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation at the same time. Millions and millions of humankind are miserably dying; they’re crying inside for our help. Instead of high school students sitting around, being a selfish teenager, we want to feel great knowing that we’ve participate in helping a wonderful cause by spreading awareness and fundraising.
It is evident that if contraceptives were available in the schools around the country, the number of teenage pregnancies would cut down drastically. Secondly, because the occurrence of STDs is increasing at an exponential rate in adolescents, production of condoms has increased, and so has the price. Students’ knowledge of STDs is reinforced because of the many programs that come on television and the annual seminars that take place at their school. Although they are informed about the dangers of sex and STDs,
There has been an ongoing and heated debate as to which sex education is the most effective and is producing the best results. The arguments for both sides are strong, however, comprehensive sexual education seems to be winning the race by providing teens with very comprehensive and thorough education and information while abstinence only just stresses “Don’t Do It.” Teen pregnancy has declined over the last few decades approximately 820,000 teens become pregnant each year (www.teenhelp.com). In addition, the United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the Western industrialized world (www.teenhelp.com). There are two forms of sex education – comprehensive and abstinence only education. Comprehensive sex education is the traditional “sex talk” education.
HIV is a disease that is sweeping the nation due to multiple partners and unprotected sex. Due to peoples lack of effort of prevention, “about 1.2 million people are living with HIV or AIDS in the U.S.” (ECLA). This is becoming more common amongst the youth of today. While the HIV pandemic issue is getting better, due to the medications available, it is still a very serious issue going on right now all over the world. Teens and young adults believe it is ok to have unprotected sex with people the trust or been in a relationship with for a long period of time.
Although teaching abstinence is taught to keep teenagers away from the reparations of engaging in sexual behaviors, it is not the most effective teaching method seeing the increased rate of STDs & HIV, an increased sexual influence in today’s society and the lack of education that teenagers have on sexual behaviors. Therefore, comprehensive sex education should be required in schools. Before there was a great deal of civilization, sexual education was seen from animals. In the early 1830’s ministers and reformers began to publish books and pamphlets that informed young
