...words, explain three (3) world arguments for birth control and two (2) world arguments against birth control. Give original examples (not in the textbook) or further clarification of each viewpoint or position. Our world has many different views on birth control. There are some positive and many are negative effects of birth control. Some of the positive arguments the world has for birth control are: services need position, human rights position, and population control. Some of the negative arguments the world has are: religious doctrines and medical risk. Let’s begin by looking at some of the positive arguments for birth control. Service needs position is a positive argument because according to data and surveys, there is a great demand for fertility control in many countries; therefore, the main problem is to provide modern fertility control to motivated people. The failure of some of the population services will cause overpopulation. The second world argument is the human rights position. It is the fundamental right for each person to determine the size of their family. The human right will allow a woman the right to control her own body. The last positive argument is population control. Programs are set in place to help bring about low mortality and fertility levels. To rapid of growth population can cause social and economic problems. All three of these arguments have one main common denominator and that is to control overpopulation in the world. Now let...

...You and your classmates differ widely in your familiarity with this topic. 1) You may be unmarried and have not thought much about it yet. 2) You may be married with a family and have used birth control at some point. 3) Some of you have been badly disappointed by some method of birth control. 4) You may view birth control use as unscriptural. Can you see the high value in doing some research on this as a group and then—lovingly, humbly and modestly—sharing your conclusions with each other? This could be a tremendously valuable board especially for the younger members of the class. This is an opportunity for ministry!

...Morality of Birth Control” In the article “The Morality of Birth Control”, Margaret Sanger argued that birth control is a moral solution to unwanted pregnancies and everyone should be informed about it (559). She originally published these claims as a well-known speech. She had hoped to motivate people with positions of power to join her movement promoting birth control. This article was one of the first steps Sanger took to change society’s view about birth control. Although “The Morality of Birth Control” contains a lot of Margaret Sanger’s personal opinions, I agree with her claim and feel as though she made a persuasive argument. At the time that this speech was given, there was a lot of controversy over...

...Planned population control with the use of birth control methods are a concept that Americans can’t accept. Some believe that birth control can halt the population growth, thus decreasing global warming issues that have been on the rise, as well as change poverty circumstances for most who endure it. Some positions that are against the use of birth control have merits that do so for various reasons (Cultural Survival, 2015). For instance, contraception is inherently wrong because it is unnatural, anti-life, and is sort of a form of abortion as well as separates sex from reproduction. Birth control also brings upon grander consequences to the woman who uses it. Contraception carries various health risks, and the overall contraceptive culture...

...Knowledge of birth control was an unfamiliar topic in colonial Korea, understanding that reproduction was just a natural process that was uncontrollable. As Japan’s influences greatly impacted Korea, information on birth control slowly became recognizable, letting women have several alternatives. The realization of birth control was evidently useful, however the actions behind several aspects of this matter was not fully understood. Birth control became a leading factor to abortion, causing additional problems regarding hygiene, correct surgical methods, and ethical issues. It brought both positive and negative effects to the society, leading to new issues that were unheard of before birth control set foot into Korea. As women were described as “tools for reproduction,” they were commonly characterized as weak and unhealthy. Most women in the colonial period were used to having multiple children, leading them to have continuous deliveries with short recovery periods. Even with poor circumstances, children were still born into poverty, many families not being able to support their own...

...either prevent pregnancy from occurring or prevent it from progressing after it has occurred. Needless to say, there are profound implications at many levels when addressing contraceptive issues. Without a doubt, contraceptive strategies are in widespread use, and even considered to be mainstream in many places. Contraceptive measures are classified as being behavioral, barrier, or chemical methods. Behavioral methods are the subject of this lesson. The various artificial forms of barrier and chemical strategies directed toward contraception, pertaining to the most common use of that term, is the subject matter for the next lesson. In some cultures and in some religious traditions, the use of artificial chemical or barrier contraceptive or birth control measures is considered to be contrary to the dignity of both women and men, and therefore to be avoided. Many persons incorrectly assume that this is a religious issue when, in fact, it is not. For example, many women insist upon natural childbirth, rather than using analgesia such as an epidural. Is the woman who opts for an epidural to manage the pain of...

...Physicians, Based on my right to conscientious objection as described by the American Academy of Pediatrics, I hereby wish to uphold my request to refuse counsel and prescribe birth control to unmarried patients as I view it to would lead to infringement on my religious morals based on the ethical principles of integrity and truthfulness. This refusal triggers a conflict between my personal beliefs and the healthcare standards of the PA profession. According to the AAP, I understand it is my duty to disclose my objection in advance, send a referral to a willing clinician while still providing care in the interim, until transfer is complete (Bioethics, 2009). Thus far in my time here as a PA, you have respected my position on this matter and this case should be no different than our prior agreement. Since this is not an urgent life or death matter, “when referral would significantly increase the probability of mortality or serious morbidity,” of providing healthcare for Ms. R, I do not need to provide intervention...

...World arguments for and against birth control and population Women in the 20th century truly look at population and birth control differently from earlier centuries. One of the reasons includes accessibility of free birth control in developed countries. World arguments for and against birth control and population are on the rise. It is well known for the controversial nature of the debate and creates differences for people who are for and against. The debate on birth control has issues like women status, religious doctrine, services needed, human rights, and population control and development. Arguments For Birth Control Services Needed Free birth control services are needed in many countries. Due to the access of free birth control in America, it is a woman’s choice to receive it or not. "In the spring of 2013, 40% of privately insured women in the United States on birth control pills paid nothing, up from 15% in the fall of 2012. Women who use contraceptive ring climbed from 23% to 52% (Smeltz, 2014, ¶3)". In under developed countries access to free birth control is not always available. “Of the 1.5 billion women of reproductive age in developing countries in 2012, 867 million (57%) wanted to avoid pregnancy and therefore needed contraception. The number of women wanting to avoid pregnancy increased by 151 million between 2003 and 2012” (Darroch, 2013, p.4). Over populated areas are limited to resources. With these resources limited epidemics run wild and extra...

...Katelyn Brandenburg Audience: People who are interested in learning about birth order and how it affects life. Purpose: To show how people how birth order effects their life.

Who we become and what we accomplish in our lives is all up to us, nobody decides our fate but ourselves. Our birth order is the order in which are placed into this world.

Whether we like it or not, where we are born in the family line up has some effect on us all throughout our lives. From the time we are born, our tiny baby minds are absorbing every piece of information we can possibly find. Our personalities take shape in these early years, and one thing that surrounds us in this time is our family; they take care of us and teach us all the things we will need to survive. Our family shapes our personality no matter if we want it to or not, they will have some effect on how we act, speak and even how we present ourselves. First borns tend to be the golden children.

...Today, I would like to inform you about birth control and hope to persuade you that teenage girls should legally be able to receive birth control without parental consent. After writing about and researching this issue, I have gained the appropriate knowledge to inform others on my position. This has been a controversial topic for decades, spread all around the world.Unstable parental relationships, ensuring feelings of confidence and safety in girls, and lowering the rate of abortions are among the reasons I believe that girls should have access to birth control without parental consent, because it would be safe for girls to prevent pregnancy while empowering young girls to be more responsible and educated. First, it is important to know information...

...Women’s Role (1865-Present) Kimberly Burrows HIS 204 Joseph Scahill February 2, 2013 Women’s Role (1865-Present) Throughout history, women have suffered fewer rights then men and are discriminated against because of their gender. Historically, a woman’s main role was to tend to the home isolated in the domestic “bubble” and to raise their children while their husbands were away at work. In this paper, I will describe the historical significance of this issue from 1865 to the present. I will explain the historical developments that presented new opportunities for women in society. I will discuss the main individuals that were involved in these struggles. To conclude, I will analyze ways in which it contributed to an “ending of isolation” while assessing the challenges involved. Even today, women still face discrimination based on their gender. However, the role of women has changed significantly which has created a lasting and ongoing increase of women's rights. The woman’s role presents a historical significance from 1865 to today for many reasons. Prior to the Civil War, women were perceived as the weaker sex and were considered intellectually inferior to men. Their freedom was limited and they had fewer rights than men. Women were expected to marry, care for their home, cook, make clothing and raise their children. According to Manning, M. J. (2005), “Women were viewed as wives and mothers, whose economic rights were mainly to be supported by a male breadwinner and...

...Well, birth control was largely illegal in the United States for much of the 20th century, so maybe one of your questions could be how people gained access to it prior to its legalization, as well as the social stigma surrounding birth control, and how some women were stuck with raising more children than they could handle because of the difficulty in obtaining birth control. Another question you could cover is the nature of abortion procedures prior to its legalization. Birth control as a movement in the US has had a very uneven relationship to movements for women s rights. Discuss early birth control reform efforts in relationship to issues of gender and class power. Birth control was an early-twentieth-century slogan, but it has become the generic for all forms of control of reproduction. With the spread of agriculture and the economic advantages of large families, religious and in some cases secular law increasingly restricted birth control, with the result that there appears to have been an increase in reliance on abortion while contraceptive technology and use declined. Both practices were legal in the United States until the mid-nineteenth century. Birth control as a movement in the US has had a very uneven relationship to movements for women s rights.

...rhythm method was popular. However, such methods were not always effective, and men and women wanted a way other than abstinence to limit the amount of children in their family. Thus, the birth control pill was developed in the 1950s and approved by the FDA for contraceptive use in 1960. Although birth control is a controversial topic, millions of women use oral contraceptive, and its effects on society are...

...Births * The birth rate is the number of live births per 1000 of the population per year. * There have been fluctuations in births, with three baby booms’ in the 20tb century. * The first two came after the two world wars (1914-18 and 1939-45) as returning servicemen and their partners started families that they had postponed during the war years. * There was a third baby boom in the 1960s, after which the birth rate fell sharply during the 1970s. The rate rose during the 1980s, before falling again after the early 1990s, with a recent increase since 2001. The total fertility rate * The total fertility rate (TFR) is the average number of children women will have during their fertile years. * Women are postponing having children: the average age for giving birth is now 29.6, and fertility rates for women in their 30s and 40s are on the increase. Older women may be less fertile and have fewer fertile years remaining, and so they produce fewer children. Reasons for the decline in the birth rate * Sociologists have identified a number of reasons for the long.4erm decline in the birth rate since 1900. These reasons involve a range of social, economic, cultural, legal, political and technological factors. Changes in the position of women - There were major changes in the position of women during the 20tb century. These include: - Legal equality with men, including the right to vote.Increased educational opportunities — girls now...

...In the Republic of Gilead, reproduction is the ultimate goal. An increase in birth rates is the only important matter to the government. This objective is so important that it is the only purpose of a Handmaid. Handmaids have lost all control over their lives, from their bank accounts to their jobs at home and work. All of the control lies in the hand of the Eyes of God. Women that have become Handmaids have no choice whether or not they want children; they are present solely for the purpose of reproduction. If a woman does birth a child, she is only around for a short amount of time before she gets reassigned to a different Commanders household. If a woman does not produce a child, when her menstruation comes “it means failure” (73). Offred,...
