Within the United States, 38 states of the 48 states examined have some form of abstinence only education. Of those 38, 21 have laws in place that require schools to solely teach abstinence only sex education (Stranger-Hall, Kathrin F. and David W. Hall 4). The logic behind such practices is to prevent teenagers from engaging in intercourse and to decrease the rate of teen pregnancies. The curriculum of abstinence only programs stresses that teenagers should not engage in intercourse since that is

ongoing debate as to whether birth order truly has an effect on the way we behave throughout our development. The article I’ve selected argues against the notion that these two correlate. The sample can be found at PNAS.org, otherwise known as the Proceedings of the National Academy of the United States of America. Titled, “Examining the Effects of Birth Order on Personality” three authors collectively come to this agreement that there are no lasting effects from birth order in long-term personality

Sexuality has always been a taboo topic of discussion in most societies. Whether it is talked about it casually among friends or for educational reasons, the subject of sex is bound to trigger some controversy. In contrast, with the exponential growth of technology, Internet, and social media, sexual images can be found with the click of a mouse. Here lies a great contradiction. If sex is so easily portrayed in media, why is so hard to talk about? Becoming educated about sexuality and achieving

Distinguishing its study from previous research Marini and Kurtz (2011) intended on possessing the advantages of conducting the largest sample size, having access to background measures, focuses on birth order, and intelligence. Researchers proposed that Sulloway’s predicted outcomes on the personality traits regarding first born and later born children will be displayed. For instance, first born children will exhibit characteristics high in Conscientiousness and Neuroticism, whereas later borns

Condoms: Preventing Unwanted Pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Infections Two women: each with two very different stories. One woman is single and enjoys her independence. She is not promiscuous but she enjoys the company of men from time to time. She doesn’t want to risk her own health, and she doesn’t want to risk the chance of becoming pregnant. She knows that many options exist but isn’t sure which is right for her. Another young woman enjoys her life as a mother of two. She is married and

Action Plan: Michael Watson is put in a hard place after his meeting with Alan Mathews because they don’t agree on how the classes should be taught. As a new teacher, Watson needs to listen to the critiques that Mathews gave him, but he also needs to stick to his own philosophies as a teacher. It is important to understand that students learn in many different ways, so he needs to find a balance that will satisfy both Alan Mathews and himself. Watson needs to make sure that his teaching strategies

“TV as Birth Control,” he introduces his argument by asking a simple question; "What are U.S family sizes compared with those of India?” This question gives the audience a background introduction to the main idea of the article, which is how TV helps reduce the fertility rate in underdeveloped and developing countries. He talks about one of the difficulties India faces as having a lot of young women of childbearing age. Hence, Pearce’s purpose behind this question is to state that the birth rate in

As the presidential race rages on, Donald Trump has lashed out against a fellow republican candidate who was seemingly slated early on as a potential vice president running mate. Instead, Trump has turned the table on Cruz by running a 30-second commercial ad portraying candidate Ted Cruz campaign of wrongful practices in his candidacy sweetheart funding, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and falsely accused the Cruz campaign of starting rumors of Ben Carson suspending his bid for the White House

One solution to help solve teenage pregnancy is help find shelters which provide education for those who are in low-income environments or are in the foster care system which would reduce the rate of teens under the age of 19 from becoming pregnant. These shelters could provide help in finding work to help cover the cost of medical needs and other expenses. The shelters could find doctors who are willing to work with teenagers with lower-incomes or provide lower cost for treatment for teenagers in

significant difference in our relationships. Sibling communication informs us on the correlations among the relationship of siblings based on a variety of factors. The factors that I am going to discuss are Sibling Rivalry, Sibling Jealousy, Age and Birth Order, and Adult-Sibling Communication. Sibling Rivalry A book called Families: Intergenerational and Generational Connections (1991), discusses a section on sibling relationships, and one thing it discusses is that “Closeness and rivalry are
