Topic > Sexuality education in the United States of America - 847

Apparently, in our society sexuality is open, we can see sexual content with provocative women and sensual men in the media. They seem to satisfy and invite you to be like them. But we talk about sex, sexuality, sexual education, gender; roles, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy and they don't want to talk. We are therefore faced with reality: sex is a difficult topic that is not easy to touch on. Therefore, sexual education is an essential element for the family, school, privacy and public sector, which should create the best way to teach young generations to have a satisfying sexuality and to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but Statistical numbers show the reality of society. needs help to increase knowledge about how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancies and other problems that have to do with sex. Sex education is an important part of organizations that want to prevent epidemics such as occurred with HIV/AIDS in the decade of the 1980s in the United States. This problem created at that time, sex education was the key to raising awareness in society that we can prevent the transmission of this virus. Furthermore, HIV/AIDS has put the need for action on the federal and local government agenda if the government is to prevent the number of people infected and dying from this virus. HIV/AIDS is no less important these days, but in the 80s and 90s the problem was latent everywhere. Prevention is the key to sex education even though many people don't understand the value of educating people about their sexuality. Let's just go to local schools and pay attention to how teachers or programs address the topic with their students. In the United States, there are two types of sex education in schools; one of the schools presents a complete document... a means of paper... together if we want to prevent infectious or other problems that afflict people who do not have enough information about sexuality. Government (federal and local) through schools, parents, organizations and the media must work together to provide adequate information to support consistent sexuality education for young people. We have some contradictions that need to be resolved. For example, currently more than 86% of schools have abstinence-free programs, but the mass media offers teenagers programs in which the scenes have too much sexual content. If the media provides these types of programs and has influence on young people, abstinence programs do not work properly. Young people need to have adequate information to be able to assess the risk of having sexual intercourse without protection such as condoms or contraceptives that prevent sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies.
