3. Reaction to the assignment.
• I was not embarrassed at all searching for condoms. I think that as a society, we try to make it shameful to buy condoms but in actuality, it should not be looked down upon because sex is a natural thing and it is best done when protection is used. The isle in Wal-Mart was very easy to find and it was secluded enough that you could pick which type of condom you prefer without many people passing by.
Duck hunting is an absolute passion for me and nothing could possibly interrupt this annual event. For me, sitting out in a duck blind at 5:30 in the morning with the brisk cold air biting at my skin is something I look forward to each and every year. Even having to break through a layer of thin ice to make it out to my blind never gets old. The frigid cold on my hands can get unbearable at times, but the possibility of frostbite is never at the forefront of my thoughts. After all, when the ducks start to fly, nothing can force me off the lake.

In the article “Condom: New Diploma”, Rush Limbaugh leads this article to one of the issues with public education lately. Condoms being distributed in the school, promoting sexual activity in teens, without proper knowledge. The mindset that since kids are going to do it, why not provide them the protection. Justifying the reasoning behind handing out condoms. This thinking open doors to why not create everything safe from drugs to safe sex. Boys now having access to condoms are urging girls to have sex, even if the girls are not ready. Chaperones purpose was to monitor and keep girls safe from the pursuit of eager young men. This is not the case anymore within the campuses. Adults recognize the consequences to having sex, knowing this they
I will defiantly remember this for the test. The only other things that I think would have the same effect on your class as condoms do would be tampons, birth control, Plan B, or maybe a pregnancy test. All of those would get a reaction because they are all uncomfortable topics. I'm 19 and I still hide my tampons when I have to go to the bathroom, I mean dang it's a normal thing for a female and I still get embarrassed. So if you want a reaction tampons would be a great one, but the other three would get one as well. Thank you for showing us how the sociological imagination applies in our everyday lives. It will make it very easy to remember for the
In 1962, Wal-Mart opened their first store in Rogers, Arkansas. In 1970, Wal-Mart's first distribution center and home office in Bentonville, Ark. open and Wal-Mart went public on the New York Stock Exchange. Just nine years from that, Wal-Mart's annual sales exceeded one billion dollars. In 1988, Wal-Mart super centers opened across the country. In a merely three years from that, Wal-Mart opened their own store in Mexico City, Mexico; making Wal-Mart an international corporation. Not even sixty years has past, and yet, Wal-Mart is over-powering our country.
Concluding the research “Overall, 3% of women reported that a clinician had discussed emergency contraception with them in the past year, and 4% of those who had ever had sex with a man reported having used the method. Only 4% of those who had seen a gynecologist in the past year reported having received counseling. Women's likelihood of having received counseling was reduced if they were 30 or older (odds ratio, 0.2), and was elevated if they were Hispanic (4.1), black (2.6) or ever-married (2.4). Receipt of counseling in the last 12 months was the strongest predictor of eve...
Male teenagers who think they will be embarrassed buying or using condoms, use them less consistently than those with higher embarrassment thresholds. If they think that the use of a condom will reduce the physical pleasure associated with intercourse, they are even less likely to use condoms. Anticipated loss of pleasure is one of the strongest correlates of reduced condom use.

Many individuals of a different culture, race, and religion trust that, keeping in mind the end goal to give a chance to wholeness, we should likewise give data that will empower all individuals to settle on life insisting choices—and this incorporates giving far reaching data about sexuality (Hanson). Accoding to Newsweek (1991), starting 1991, 1600 school areas across the country has been utilizing sex instruction educational modules called Sex Respect. Sex Respect adopts a significantly unique strategy from the other instructive projects. Sex Respect is a political preservationist's approach for sex training where the main goal of this educational program is to teach and that abstinence is the only approach that is moral and safe. The educational module shows that condoms can be the street to destroy in light of the fact that many fall flat and pregnancy comes
In this paper I intend to explore different rape case and how they were handle, I will discuss the documentary The Hunting Ground, I will discuss cases where faculty members tried to help a victim and lost their jobs, and solutions to make sure this comes to an end. For the past few years, sexual assaults have been a very popular topic. In result of this topic, more rape victims are stepping up and speaking out on the ways that the college board handle their cases. When a student is sexual assaulted by another student on campus, the victims are supposed to go the Dean or the President of their school and report what happened. Students also trusted that the school will take the necessary steps in order to give the suspect some type of consequence.
Two states, California and Oregon, have begun to offer over-the-counter birth control as, beforehand, birth control could only be given with a doctor’s prescription (Almendrala). This practice is actually common within most of the world, but with the United States’ gradual acceptance, it will not only decrease teen pregnancy, but will have other benefits as well. Dr. Taraneh Shirazian, an assistant professor at NYU Langone Medical Center, said that “in many ways, by preventing pregnancy, you actually are lowering an individual woman’s risk for blood clots, in general.” Likewise, with the recent introduction and spreading of condom accessibility programs, male condom use has increased along with the decrease in teen pregnancy and even the spread of STDs and STIs (Alford). However, these programs do not encourage teens to engage in sex at an early age or to have more sexual partners, which also helps to lower the teen pregnancy rate
There are many forms of artificial contraception. I am going to discuss some of those forms and the Church’s opinion. Condoms, or rubbers, are shaped like a balloon and are made of a special kind of rubber. Condoms prevent sperm from reaching the cervix. They are placed over the male’s erect penis before intercourse. They are 80-90% effective. No prescription is needed to use them. They protect against STD’s. They are more protective in preventing AIDS, then preventing pregnancy. They are not fully effective because they can break, have defects, be slippery, or it can be too old. Spermicides such as: creams, foams, vaginal supporsitones, and vaginal film form a chemical barrier that kills or makes the sperm inactive, which makes it impossible to become pregnant. They are 80% effective. It is available without a prescription and provides some STD protection. Effectiveness is increased if used with condoms. Vasectomies are common for men. The tube that carries the sperm is cut and tied which prevents sperm from being ejaculated. It is 99% effective This procedure is permanent and is done through a small incision near the testicles. It does not affect sexual arousal. A cervical cap is a soft rubber dome that forms a barrier to prevent sperm from reaching the cervix. The spermicidal gel kills the sperm. It is 85% effective. It may give some protection against chlamydia and gonorrhea. The diaphragm does the same thing as a cervical cap and is 85% effective. It is a flat rubber-like disk which has to be fitted from a doctor. It is placed inside the woman’s vagina before having intercourse. It is often used with cream or jelly that is placed around the edge of the diaphragm. There is a very high failure rate because sometimes they are not fitted or inserted correctly. They create fewer health risks for women. It may reduce the risk of cervical cancer and provides some STD protection. There are also injections for men and women. In men, a drug is injected into the sperm duct to disable the sperm for a period of time. Depo-Provera injections that contain the hormone, progesterone is injected and it prevents the release of an egg from the ovary. It is 99% effective. It is long lasting and highly effective. It also protects against uterine cancer. But it does not protect against STD’s. Female condoms are 75-85% effective but 95% effective if used correctly.
