Writing Assignment

I arrived at writing about sex education and std's, because of last weeks class when we all viewed photos as std's. As we all our adults the shock that was expressed at the photographs was surprising including my own. As adults we should of already known what the photos look like, and we didn't. It also interests me because you hear about sex education and std's all the time in the radio, on t.v, friends, everywhere yet society still doesn't know alot about std's. How is that? didn't we all take sex education in school? Through last weeks expressions it did catch my attention. I want to explore why we acted this way did we really get a good sex education, or is sex education just another fluke they teach you about safe sex and that's about it. Well in today's society that's not enough anymore. When I worked at a summer camp there would be young kid's talking about things they should know nothing about but they know a little too much i feel. I don't understand how this is, is sex education not enough anymore or does it need to go into more detail even at a young age should we make kids view photos like we did in class. If we did they would think twice before acting out or doing anything that they might express in the future or even at the present time. Sex education is not put out there enough and either are std's it needs to be shown to younger generations more now than ever.

  1. Hi Josh,

    I'm glad that you have chosen to investigate sex education. Do you intend to compare and contrast comprehensive sex education to abstinence only education? It may be a good idea to considering your audience may not be familiar with one or the other. It's difficult to know which one is taught in schools, but it may add some value to your argument if you are to find out what federal dollars are spent on either curriculum and/or what states teach (e.g. specifically MO).
