...virus, the value of practicing communication and negotiation to facilitate the uptake of safe sex has far-reaching implications for health and well-being. However, communication between parents and are a bit uncomfortable with topics like condoms, STDs, and past sexual partners is a difficult task for many young people whose health may be placed in jeopardy by their inability to discuss safe sex. Public schools are now making sex education apart of their curriculum. However, the controversy arises as to whether sex education should be based on abstinence or a “safe sex” model. Critics of the “safe sex” program claim that teaching safe sex is another way of giving consent to engage in intercourse. Isn’t the bigger issue ensuring that students are prepared for any type of situation they find themselves in? What good is abstinence based course if they are already engaged in sexual activities? It is a proven fact that an abstinence based course doesn’t yield results. Therefore all public schools should teach...

...Amber Dahlke, A woman who is trying to find the solution and the power to encourage the government to agree with “comprehensive sex education”, makes a very great statement in her essay. She provides the information to show her views, she has pointed out in great detail, why “comprehensive sex education” is a better idea than going with “abstinence sex education”. She also lists a lot of detailed sources that help her claim and make her points agreeable and understandable, she also provides what could happen if students in public schools were not taught proper sex education, they could end up with tragic sexual transmitted diseases because of their actions. As I read and looked over her essay, I found a lot of very interesting points that she has made and I found them rather fascinating and genuine. As I continued reading, I noticed some funny points that I had a hard time believing and thinking about. It was at this point, that I thought that the author of the essay has made confusing and in my opinion, has ignored some important views on her own argument, I will respond to Dahlke, and point out her mistakes and give out my own opinions on what she has made mistakes on that I believe could have been better said. Dahlke shows on her essay a source that says “comprehesive sex education encourages students to half less sexual partners, warns them about diseases and other methods to prevent pregnancy”(Landry et al). Now that this statement may be true, but it has some flaws...

...responsible thing to do is to warn them about sexually transmitted diseases and help prevent them from getting pregnant. The message was not "value neutral": "We do certainly sit down and speak with them about why that's not a good choice," said Portland's school nurse coordinator Amanda Rowe, referring to sexually active students. "But there are some who persist — even though we don't like to think about that — in being sexually active, and they need to be protected." And while ideally parents should be responsible for transmitting information and values to their children, the school has a responsibility to children whose parents can't or won't do so. One committee member, Sarah Thompson, mother of an eighth grader, admitted that the proposal made her "uncomfortable," but she understood the need. "I know I've done my job as a parent," Thompson said. "[But there]...

Managing the Title X Family Planning Program carries many federal restraints. The community’s awareness of the benefits and available resources through such programs as the Title X Family Planning Program are minimal. The purpose of this project proposal is to create a school-based educational sex education program that will serve to reach out and educate teenagers; Teens Receiving Education about Decisions (TREAD). Fagen, Stacks, Hutter, and Syster (2010) “Sexual health education (SHE) is an important strategy for promoting well-informed sexual decision-making and preventing unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescents. One promising approach for increasing adolescent SHE access is to institute school district policies that mandate high-quality sex education” (para. 1). Section A: Problem Identification Sex education classes are not a mandate of Georgia school systems.

...SOC 490 Dr. C. T. Rowley September 16, 2012 A Combined Approach: Seeking an Effective Method to Treat Opioid Addiction Background Addiction treatment approaches can take many forms. From Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to long term inpatient rehabilitation programs, there are many different choices available to those struggling with addiction. Understanding the nature of each type of addiction and determining the best course of treatment for the individual is important to ensure success. For opioid addiction, maintenance based programs, though controversial, show high rates of treatment retention, reduction in criminality, gainful employment, and improvement in health; offering an alternative to those who have not had success in abstinence based programs. Addiction is a challenging and complicated health issue. It affects people physically as well as mentally and socially, impacting nearly every aspect of life. Families can be torn apart. The effects of addiction can cause a person to lose employment and fall into poverty. Health issues such as HIV and hepatitis can affect addicts who share needles, or engage in prostitution to obtain drugs. The greatest consequence of addiction is death. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states, “Drug overdose death rates in the United States have more than tripled since 1990 and have never been higher.” The negative consequences of addiction are many. This highlights the importance of proven, effective treatment methods...

...In some states, legislators had proposed measures to increase uptake of HPV vaccine, including educational campaigns, public subsidies, and insurance requirements. The most important of these measures seems to be mandatory vaccination for girls attending school (Colgrove, Abiola, and Mello 785). Thus, with this proposal, a controversy question about compulsory vaccination of HPV began because it involves violation of parents’ autonomy about their children’ lives. Also, being HPV a sexually transmitted infection, some conservative individuals fear that the vaccination could promote promiscuity among adolescents. Despite all controversy that surround HPV vaccine, immunization of young women against HPV is a way to prevent HPV transmission and cervical cancer. However, cost of vaccination, promotion of promiscuity, and safety are some challenges that need to be...

...The Impact Of Sex Education On Students Christian Joseph Veloso Angeles Mrs. Cunanan English 00/00/2016 I. Introduction Sex education is a risks of rumor and speculation, where biology is a more of a subject to pass than the understanding of how the body functions. Adolescence is the time that girls get their period and when boys start having wet dreams. Sex is one of the few words that catch our attention. Whenever we see the word “sex” in magazines, newspapers and other print materials, we tend to stop at some point and become interested to read the article where it is written. It’s not because we simply feel the urge to read about sex but perhaps the “questioning self” wants to clarify and discover the truth about this matter. In liberal democracies, sex is viewed as a normal activity for both adults and teenagers. Whether they are married or not, in a serious relationship or just in a fling, they engage to this kind of human activity. For them, sex is not a big deal. So, their state colleges and universities came up with a decision to integrate sex education into their classrooms as a regular part of instructions. In the Philippines, it’s very different. Whenever we say the word “sex”, we are labeled as “rude”. No wonder why if we heard of “sex” we directly associate it to “vulgarity”. We cannot blame ourselves because we are living in a society with a stronghold of moral standards and conservatism. For sure...

...THE BEST DEAL Issues As mentioned in the case study, Usop decided to sell his car by parking it outside with a notice stating “ For Sale. One Owner. Best Price RM 8 750. Please call at number 34 Jln Semarak 2, Kuala Lumpur or telephone 03-8251178.” In this case, first and foremost we need to identify this is an invitation to treat or an offer or proposal. An offer should be contrasted with an option and an advertisement. According to Section 2(a), Usop has made an offer or proposal to sell his car with a price RM 8 750 and he provided enough details for an offeree to reach him. The first person who see the advertisement is Sarah. On Monday morning, Sarah called Usop and offer RM8000 to buy the car instead of RM 8 750, the price offer by Usop. However, Usop neither agree or disagree to the offer. Then later, Usop decided to sell his car to Sarah by posting a letter of agreement, however when he read Betty’s notice, he decided to withdraw his proposal to Sarah. The issue arise here, either the acceptance is complete or not? Whether an agreement between Sarah and Usop is properly formed and either Usop can revoke the acceptance once he posted the letter of agreement? If the acceptance is complete and an agreement is formed, there is no question of revocation. On the other hand, the issues between Betty and Usop is regarding the communication of acceptance.Whether the communication of the proposal is completed or not between Betty and Usop and when the communication is completed...

...Strategy and Implementation Plan, there is still much work to be done. This brief highlights underexplored explanations for these disparities and outlines possible solutions to begin addressing them. Oftentimes, popular culture has offered unfortunately erroneous explanations for the stark racial disparate impact of HIV/ AIDS. The mass media, for example, has suggested that black men “on the down low” infect black women by secretly sleeping with male partners, acting as a bisexual “bridge” between gay and straight communities. But public health scholars have found little support for this theory. Many may assume that black people suffer from greater HIV prevalence because they are considered less sexually responsible than whites. Yet several studies have shown that black women and black men who have sex with men—the two groups most severely impacted by HIV/AIDS—have similar numbers of sexual partners and use condoms as often as their white counterparts. Thus, behavioral risk factors, while important, cannot fully explain the racial disparity. Instead, the racial HIV gap and the racial health gap in general, is strongly correlated with the racial wealth gap, which in turn is the direct outcome of both historical and contemporary processes of segregation in housing, education, employment, and health care as well as racially skewed mass incarceration. In this way,...

...Chapter 1 Problem and it’s Setting Background of the study Sex education has become a major issue here in the Philippines because the church people and government officials cannot decide on whether to incorporate sex education in students learning curriculum in this study the researchers will show the importance of incorporating sex education to the subjects of the students. According to statistics compiled by the Guttmacher Institute schools (2008) is exploring the best sex education programs to benefit students. The US has “one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the developed world—almost twice as high as those of England, Wales and Canada, and eight times as high as those of the Netherlands and Japan.” Because of the rising pregnancy rates among teens, in addition to the rising rates of sexual activity among teens, parents. The United States has unacceptably high rates of teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS infections. To address this challenge, NARAL Pro-Choice America supports honest, age-appropriate, and medically accurate sex education that promotes abstinence and provides young people with the information they need to protect themselves. On the same hand, Peter J. Smith (2006) any DepEd directors and church people have argued that if they should incorporate sex education to the learning of the students. Furthermore they have argued about it since 2006 but today some public schools are incorporating sex education to a child’s learning...

...Camille Denise D. Nucum TFN 1NU03 Sir Dela Cruz “ The Role of Volunteer Nurses in the present Philippine health care situation” First question is why do nurses volunteer? a volunteer is someone who works for a community or for the benefit of the environment, primarily because they choose to do so.” Im likely see that this definition closely matches why I chose nursing in the first place. There are some reasons why nurses do this voluntarily and without their profits involve only just for the sake of having experience serve as imparting knowledges to other people. These are the main reasons:Using your skills to help others. Nurses often have specialized skills and knowledge that can benefit a wide array of people. To keep the resume going. If you lose your job or are just starting out as a nurse, what better way to improve your resume than serving others? If you are a new nurse, a volunteer opportunity offers the "experience" that hiring personnel are looking for. A sense of self. I can think of no better feeling of satisfaction than helping others each day. To make a positive impact on the community as a whole, To demonstrate to your children the importance of giving to others. Further, theres` a lot of opportunities available for nurses alike, Peace Corps/Missionary Work, Mentorship to a nursing student, School Nurse, Hospice, Nursing Home, and Volunteer to teach classes with community help organizations (Alcoholic Anonymous, abuse victim...
