Video Response One I agree that there should be more sex education around the world. There are way too many children that go malnourished and die because no one can provide for them. If there’s a way to prevent couples or even people, for that matter, from having unwanted children, they should be aware of contraceptives. There are so many people in Africa, Mexico, and Thailand that weren’t aware of contraceptives and they have unwanted children that they end up not being able to take care of. Or they end up starving themselves to provide for their off springs. These countries’ older generations are so accustomed to having large families, but some fail to realize that at these times it’s less possible. With population

This helps women and couples space out their children and make sure they are ready to have a child. This is also an effective way to prevent young women to become pregnant and decrease health problems in the mother and child. This method is also restrains couples from having too many children; in which, helps overcrowding living places. Family planning women in the other countries continue either education. This also helps reduce the amount of abortions done to women. I was not aware of how many abortions where done in other countries because of the lack of sex ed. This is why I think countries should be taught about sexual education. They should also know about sex education for their own health; there are so many people unaware that from having sex, they are hurting their bodies with STDs. Many people are constantly dying from AIDs and I’m sure if they knew about contraceptives, more than likely half of them would not have STDs. Some people do become aware that there are chances that they could get AIDs, but at least they are not ignorant to the damage they could do to themselves. Men and women get circumcised trying to avoid having sex or getting these diseases, but still end up getting infections from the incisions not healing …show more content…
I would feel like if we tried to help them with poverty, we would them become too involved. And they would more than likely tell us to get out for being always in other country’s business. To just have people go to the developing countries and just teach multiple people how to family plan, how to not have unwanted children by using contraceptives, and how to take care of themselves so they don’t get AIDs. If we start to just do that then, it will impact the economy a bit from not overpopulating even more. We would be doing them a favor and the country probably will not realize that the U.S. is kind of helping them in poverty but not trying to take over the country with our beliefs. But we should definitely not go to Africa and feel the need to say that how the government is running the country is wrong. I feel like we’re hurting them by not helping them. Too many women die while pregnant because of malnourishment and they could avoid that by the U.S. helping. Also, if we were to just educate other countries, the AIDs rate will go down by a significant amount. If countries that are religious then don’t like what we’re trying to do, then we leave and help the next country. We just go in and if we can help, wonderful, if we can’t then we can at least say we tried. All in all, I thought this was a great film. I learned a lot and I thought

    Overpopulation exists and is very prevalent in some of the largest countries in the world. It especially exists in many major countries such as China and India. This is why policies are implemented in order to reduce the overpopulation in these countries, such as China’s one-child policy. The one-child policy was created in 1980, when the government wanted to enforce family planning to avoid excess procreation. This complex policy has many external factors that make it run somewhat smoothly.…

    In this article, I don't think we should support abstinence education, because it does not have much effect of reduce teenager pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. As in the article, the government gave large sums of money to carry out abstinence only education, but there is no much effect. However, if government increase the number of comprehensive sex education classes, it significantly reduced the rate of teenage pregnancy, because teenagers are in a period of rebellion. If you don't let them do something, they will try it, because they are curiosity. Also, teenagers in puberty, sex cannot be suppressed.…

    Phillip E. Johnson is a retired Berkley law professor and one of the leading proponents of intelligent design theory. Though having taught at Berkely as a law professor for over thirty years, Johnson’s renown stems not from his credentials in law, but from his critique of Darwinism. Since the publishing of his book Darwin on Trial, Johnson has become a well-known critic of evolution. In another one of his works, Reason in the Balance, Johnson articulates how naturalism, the philosophy of behind Darwinian Theory, has replaced the Judeo-Christian tradition as the “established religious philosophy” in areas of science, law, and education. Johnson utilizes a wide variety of sources when articulating worldview and how worldview affects science,…

    Abortion is a much argued discussion here in America; everyone has their own opinion on the situation. I for one stand by the idea that everyone should have the right to choice what they want to do in regards to abortion. There shouldn’t be any politicians or religious groups getting involved in a women’s personal choice. But we don’t live in a perfect world that’s I propose a solution that maybe more people can agree upon; abortion should be allowed under circumstances. There is something called the “The Woman’s Right…

    At a young age I believe that males and female should both taught about contraception. In many cases young teenagers are not taught properly in school or by their parents about how to uses contraception’s properly. Like you said only male 5th grader are taught about condoms and nothing else. Not teaching all teenagers about contraception could lead to teen pregnancies which could have been prevented if students were taught properly at a young age instead of ignoring to teach them. Reading about the “pull out” made me realize that students should also be taught how the body works while having sexual intercourse.…

    As of October 2015, the Guttmacher Institute, a New York-based research organization, found that twenty-two states and the District of Columbia mandate sex education -- and eighteen require that information on contraception be provided (Toppo). With only twenty-two states and the District of Columbia mandating sex education, so many young adults and students are missing out on the proper education they need to make decisions about their sex lives. The United States is failing these young people by not mandating that sex education be taught. Forty-eight states do not mandate sex education and these kids are growing up to suffer. They are suffering from STD’s, HIV and AIDS, unwanted pregnancies, and more, but this could be changed with a…

    Sex education is a huge part of everyone’s life growing up because we all need to understand what it is and what consequences we can get by doing something we are not sure of. But some might take it to a far extent that children do not need to know. Some teachers even start teaching kids too early. Children do not start getting hormones until about twelve and some start learning around nine and that is too early. So many different things can happen when having sex education because they can either be teaching too much or too less.…
