  • Analysis Of The American Hookup Culture

    793 Words  | 2 Pages

    As stated in the book, “college students have much to teach about sex” (8). That is because the values, ideologies, and worldviews of the students are representative of greater American culture. Although flawed, hookup culture on American campuses hold the possibility of accepting a culture of inclusivity, care, pleasure, and freedom while also rejecting predatory behavior, racism, classism, and abuse. Dismissing hookup culture all together is blind to the reality that young adults are going to have sex, and since sex is non-negotiable, one’s aim should be to foster open dialogue and critical thought onto a future where everyone enjoys the ability to freely explore sexuality, sex, and gender on their own

As research indicates and from personal experience, parents who are able to talk honestly to their kids about sex tend to be those with open family communication styles and whose parents talked with them about sex. Adolescents who feel close to their parents and who believe that their parents support them are likely to adopt sexual attitudes similar to their parents’ and to limit or delay their sexual activities. There are many things that can be learned from Randa Jarrar’s A Map of Home, and the importance of sexual awakening is just one of those themes.

    ...ual activity, there are teens who are easily “seduced and model their developing sexual lives on the frequently unhealthy sexual media content they consume” (Brown, Steele, and Walsh-Childers 18). Teenagers look up to the people in the media as role models, and if their role models are going around as if sex was an everyday thing, they will think sex is something they should partake in. If “16 percent of female and 12 percent of male [teens] had sex four or more times in the past month” (Abma 1), what can be expected in the next month as high school teens use more and more media and the media continues to be sexual? The fact of the matter is that “teens with the highest level of sexual content exposure are 2.2 times more likely to have initiated sexual intercourse” (Lagorio) than other high school adolescents with little to no exposure to the sexual media content.

    Physiologists usually agree that the teenage years are among the most difficult periods in one’s life. Most teens are trying to figure out who they are, what they believe, and how they fit into the world around them. Beginning in the late 1970s, a whole genre of fiction, referred to as coming-of-age literature, emerged and serves, at least for many teens, as believable presentations of young people learning to navigate the difficulties of their lives, often fraught with feelings of rejection, seemingly unresolved personal turmoil, social problems, school and family issues, etc. Indeed one value of reading is to see and better understand some aspect of ourselves through studying others. The reading of SPEAK, a somewhat controversial book because of its subject matter – rape -, is a worthwhile endeavor in any middle school classroom and offers many valuable life lessons to young teens.

  • Pros And Cons Of Baby Dumping

    2522 Words  | 6 Pages

    First, theories of adolescent development support the idea the primary socializing agents for most children are only parents because, they are the best providers of specific factual information and social skills training. Hence parents play a vulnerable role in the implementation of sex education. Schools and health professionals should acknowledge and support the critical role of parents in sexual socialization. Parents, in turn, should support schools in providing sex education by learning what the child’s school offers in sex education. Acknowledging, that sex education is a lifelong process and that parents are only one of the primary sex educators of young people, they should be able to answer the kids' questions about sex in a confident manner. Though it is one of the responsibilities many parents dread most. Mostly even confident parents often feel tongue-tied and awkward when it comes to talking about puberty and where babies come from which they tend to deviate it. But the subject shouldn't be avoided.

    It is evident sexual education in schools can provide students with substantial knowledge and skills to make informed decisions for sexual behaviours (Mueller, Gavin & Kulkarni, 2008). That being said, there is a significant lack of acceptable sexual education being provided to adolescents throughout the school system. This in turn requires the majority of adolescents to turn to their peers and family members for information and guidance. The film The To-Do List demonstrates the shortage of sexual education provided in schools, and results in the main character having to seek external sources for information. The problem with turning to outside sources for information is that is tends to be unreliable. Without formal information and proper facts being provided, students truly do not understand most components of sex. This unawareness could result in unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections as well as other sexual health concerns.

Keeping this in mind the use of cell phones have become an affair when it comes to allowing teens to use them in educational environments, such as schools. One part of society supports the use of cell phones while the other part of society disapproves the use of cell phones.

Cell phones do not only allow students to stay united with friends and family, but cell phones are also a magnificent learning system, and they boost the liable use of technology.
