    Sex education has been a notorious failure in the education system. Such programs fail because they teach teenagers to be judges of their own sexual behavior—not society, not their authoritarian parents, and certainly not the church. Sex education programs approach sex from a “neutral” viewpoint by teaching students to postpone sex until they are more mature, but encourages them to use proper protection if they are unable or unwilling to wait. From this “neutral” viewpoint, there is no good explanation for why students should not have sex when the technology to prevent or terminate diseases and pregnancies is readily available. Sex appears to be just another sport activity where only the proper gear is needed to stay safe.…

    The Harmful Strategies Behind Victoria’s Secret Catalogs As I came home from school one day, I got the mail out of my mailbox and I quickly skimmed through it, only to see a victoria’s secret clothing catalogue that I presumed was for my sister, as she shops there. It goes without saying that this catalogue caught my eye, although I know that’s exactly what the advertising agent that works with Victoria’s Secret is hoping for, they could do it in a much more conservative way. They are an undergarments store, so it is reasonable for their brand to have women modeling their lingerie in the catalog, but there is no need for these women to be posing seductively, it is a form of mediation of the body-imaging problem in the mass media. The mass…

Many young children misinterpret abstinence-only programs and this is why young girls may end up in abortion…
