We learned many facts about condoms such as if you put it on the wrong way you shouldn't turn it around and use it since there might by slight traces of sperm on the end and impregnate your partner. One disturbing but yet very informative lesson was the part on the diseases and STDs. Learning about harmful diseases is very important so we know what the signs of an STD is, to be able to diagnose ourselves with what our problem is. Also when learning about the diseases we learn how there are transmitted and how we can prevent them. The last important lesson from the Human Sexuality unit that I'll remember is all the body parts of the male and female sexual reproductive organs.
Shatamara Towler Professor Flowers EDUC 2120 25 June 2014 Gender Biases and Socialization in Education in “The Mona Lisa Smile” As teachers, we recognize that schools are places of cultural governments. Schools are a set of public, literal and optical traditions aimed to produce the creation of values and needs that affect people’s sense of their future identities and possibilities. The traditions and ideologies concerning women’s role in society in The Mona Lisa Smile, affects the students desires and identities, and the role of social change. The film speaks on the culture of young women in prestigious schools preparing to give up their education for the education of their children, and serve as wives to privileged males, rather than following their own dreams. Katherine Watson, the teacher, challenges the girls by portraying liberal ideas to the students.

If there were harmful effects, there wouldn’t be anything we would be able to do about it since we didn't have a choice. Knowledge Issues: So this is where the several of the knowledge issues arise: One is the ethics involved with making a vaccine compulsory, as it can be seen as intruding on the personal lives and the freedom of individuals even though it may benefit them over time. Currently, vaccinations are compulsory in the US for children to enter public education, which means parents have to choose between vaccinations or education for their children. Parents also have to decide whether to allow their kids to take the vaccines and therefore require information to make judgments.

The word ”No” can come in many different forms such as; a shake of your head, not responding, walking away, the actual word no,etc.
