Some adults and parents are concerned that allowing teenagers to receive contraception will lead them to become more sexually active, “For some teens . . . birth control encourages promiscuous behavior. Teens who may have otherwise practiced abstinence, now have a reason to become sexually active. Birth control also poses moral concerns for religious families” (Tucker). The belief that more available contraception leads to higher rates of sexual activity isn’t uncommon but…

Taking preventive action is the only way to decrease these statistics, because expecting all teens to remain abstinent is naive. Although birth control promotes promiscuity, yes birth control should be available for teens over the counter because it would lower teen pregnancy rates and can help balance hormones.

It became a big deal when in 2007, Comcast was intentionally slowing uploads from “peer to peer file sharing applications.” And they were basically trying to implement limits and differentiate charges for peer to peer, file transfer protocol, and online traffic. The big problem that arose from this is…

Birth control has been a controversial topic in the U.S. since the early 1900s. This topic has caused a divide in many religious groups on whether it is moral or immoral. I feel very strongly about this subject and have decided to learn about it in greater depth from both sides of the issue. There are many negatives to birth control and many positives as well. Many religious groups believe it is wrong to have sex for any other reason than to have children. Many opponents of birth control…
