Children Should be Taught About Sex at Young Age Children need guidance, now more than ever. First and foremost, they should be educated about sex at much younger age than they were in the past, because it is a different world we live in, and children are exposed to sex at much younger age. This is mostly due to technology, and the media. Also, the environment new generations are raised in is way more sexually immoral than previous generations. More importantly, the earlier they learn the…

“During the first minute of your time reading this, an estimated 255 babies were born. During the same minute, an estimated 107 people died…This is an overage of 147 people, increasing the global population by around 80 MILLION every year” (Chernoff). Now if that piece of information doesn 't surprise you, let me try to explain in a different perspective. Modern man first appeared on earth 200,000 years ago. Reproduction was so successful that by year 1850 we had created 1 billion people. That…

Problem solving. When a problem arises in this family, they sit down and talk about how they are going to solve it. The main problem being dealt with in this family is with CS and her condition. The one who first noticed her problem was her grandma. She started noticing little things like cleaning door knobs before entering a room and not eating food if it was touching something. Once it was identified to the parents, they started watching for the cues as well. It got to a point where the family…

it is a preventative measure and any mother knows it is better to encourage their child to wear a helmet than to treat a head injury. Birth control is like a bicycle helmet in the sense that it is more protective and reliable than just trying to be careful, however, it is expensive and difficult for many women without health insurance to obtain. By making birth control free and easily accessible to young women, America is likely to see a drastic decrease in unplanned pregnancies and abortions,…

Sex Education Growing up Sex education was never really spoken about in my family, we had to learn as we go. My parents believed that I shouldn’t be talked about until I became sexually active. There were no birds and the bees or anything like that. In school, I’m sure I did have health class and maybe they did talk about sex and all that, but till this day I can’t remember nor did I really think it was important to me, because at that time I was not in a relationship. I know in high school they…

The level of childlessness has doubled in thirty years and the world could be in danger of under population. Some women are childfree by choice, meaning they choose not to have children for a number of different reasons. Many celebrities are childfree, even Dr. Seuss did not have children, which is ironic due to the great deal of children’s books he has written. While reading the selection Childfree by Choice by Kelly J. Welch, I developed the belief that all women should have the option of…

Hate speech in “Animal farm” and “Priscilla the Cambodian” Hate speech is used as one of the apparatuses employed both in “Animal farm” by George Orwell and “Pricilla the Cambodian” by Rattawut Lapcharoensap. Although it occurs in different circumstances and contexts, the two stories share some ideas in common which significantly reflect the act of their characters as well as the societies, which will be explained further. Hate speech is one of the communication methods being used to attack a…

The topic I decided to extended my knowledge about is the idea of teenage rebellion. Why must teens want to resist and stray as far away from their parents word as possible? A question with a vague explanation. In the piece of literature, Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare, two teenage lovers completely ignore their parent’s rule to not intermingle with the opposing family. The research I have completed has gone to show that teenage rebellion is the intentional defiance of parental guidance…

“We’re casual about sex and serious about consent. But is it working?”, written by Jon Zimmerman, is published in the In Theory section of the Washington Post on October 13th, 2015.

Zimmerman accurately assesses the…
