On the other hand, films Rated R can still be seen by people under the age of 17 with parental consent. Another harsh reality of having a film rated NC-17, is that they are also not allowed for rental by many major movie rental companies such as blockbuster. It is not a secret that the MPAA censors sexual content in movies more heavily over blood and gore in horror movies but it is surprising on how they censor homosexual sex. When it comes to homosexuality on the big screens, MPAA tends to give harsher ratings than movies with heterosexual acts. Although there are many opposing view points towards sexual acts in the movies, homosexuality should not be treated any differently than heterosexuality.
Peer pressure is so common in schools from middle school all the way to junior high. If parents aren’t able to help the next generation our future who will also be responsible for our future generations shouldn’t we give them a professional environment where they can actually learn how to be safe and handle the emotions and new feelings they get from puberty. Parents will argue against their sons or daughters to go take sex education. Fear is common that sex education will be a gate way to believing sex is ok. Sex education however provides different methods to prevent having STD’s or giving birth which happens without a basis of how to use protection.
Analytic Response to “Does Watching Sex on Television Influence Teens' Sexual Activity?” Rebecca L. Collins wrote an article titled “Does Watching Sex on Television Influence Teens’ Sexual Activity?” in the book “Pediatrics.” In this article, she examined two recent studies to let us know how watching sex on television affects teens’ sexual activity. The main argument of the article is, “Does television influence teens’ sexual activity or not?” Collins’ argument shows that watching sexual television influences teens’ sexual activity, and this influence can lead to both bad and good consequences. She also gave suggestions on how we could reduce teens’ problems when it comes to the relationship between watching sex on television and teens’ sexual activity. Collins’ claim is that “expose[r] to television sex may hasten the initiation of sexual activity among teens”; this is an example of a way the influence is bad (543). On the other hand, television can “inform teens about risks and foster communication with parents”, which is a good influence on teens (544).
By limiting the drinking age to 21, the government is just encouraging students to make illegal behavior and dishonesty. Due to the majority of underage drinkers, students are disobedient to the law; which leads up to criminal penalties. One example is that students are using fake ID Cards, to have the right to drink. When caught, these penalties can be severe and costly. It is obvious that the law has not succeeded in preventing the underage group from drinking.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1974, which defined “sex” discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and child birth (Jennings, 2006). Because Paula is not pregnant, she has the right under the Equal Employment Opportunity and cannot can not be treated less equally which would be disparate treatment. Management should grant the transfer, make sure Paula is aware of the chemicals in case she does get pregnant and place Sam on probation excluding him from being around Paula. If his action occurs or he continually harasses Paula, Sam should lose his job to prevent the harassment from going to court. Newcorp would face the charges and pay Paula if she wins the case in
This has also been shown in a 1994 survey of 2,400 teenagers and about half of them said that society is biased against them (Discrimination Against the Young). In the media, teens are stereotyped as being bad kids that like to cause mischief. Through curfews, we can flip this stereotype around. The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., thought the same way because they had rising reports of juvenile theft, vandalism and gang activity. They now don’t let people under the age of 16 in the Mall on Friday and Saturday nights (Discrimination Against the Young).
The population today is expected to hit 8 billion around 2025. He says that people can still have sex for pleasure, but they should take measures to prevent conceiving children. He talks about early forms of birth control, from which the way they sound, probably were not very effective. When Knowlton’s pamphlet “Fruits of Philosophy” first came about, the birth rates in both the United States and Britain dropped severely. Knowlton was one of the first people to separate sex and reproduction; and children were now a choice; his ideas enabled people to still have the pleasure of sex without having to worry about having children.
Which comes in, why kids shouldn’t be try as an adult. Most of us teens act pretty much like kids when were still 15-17 years old. In Adam Liptak’s article “Supreme Court to Rule on Executing Young Killers” published in The New York Times quotes “And jurors may not necessarily accept expert testimony concerning recent research showing that the adolescent brain is not fully developed”. Jurors have to accept the fact that teens brains aren’t develop and still may act like little kids. Also the fact that teens are so rough towards one another there brains aren’t thinking on what can happen if there physical towards people violently.
For example, drinking contest or just students wanting to fit in with what is going on around them is a big influence on underage drinkers. I mean look at it this way, what happened to Scott Krueger; a freshman at the MIT was heartbreaking and tragic. This young man lost his life to an alcohol overdose, only if binge drinking was banned from all schools nationwide more college students would be alive. Many colleges and Universities are half of the cause of binge drinking because they basically allow it in the school if they don’t do anything about it. Underlying Issues: The Universities and colleges should push the issue more about binge drinking than what they are doing now to keep college students from drinking underage.
Abstinence Only Education Sexual education has evolved over the last twenty years and much has been debated over how sex should be taught in schools across the nation. Those in favor of comprehensive sexual education argue that teenagers are going to have sex because they are unable to control their sexual urges and should be taught from a “safe-sex” approach (Eske, 2003). According to the Abstinence Educator’s Network (AEN) teaching abstinence only education encourages teenagers to take control over their sexual urges and abstain from sexual activity that could put them at risk for sexually transmitted diseases, un-planned pregnancy, and emotional distress. Research shows that abstinence only education can be an effective teaching method to prevent teenagers from engaging in sexual activity.
