...1.1 INTRODUCTION There is a burgeoning need, in recent times, to impart sex education to our teenagers. During adolescence, not only do the hormones work overtime, but there are physical changes too that are taking place in the body structure; particularly so in the sex organs, making the teenager curious to explore these changes. During the last three decades media both audio visual and printed has been feeding the young curious minds more often with misinformation and wrong notions about sex. The 'sexual arena' is in constant focus among the teens; in the absence of proper guidance, this can result in more harm than good. Enlightening a teenager is the best preventive policy to tackle the growing health problems in this age group. They need to understand very early that it is better to be safe than sorry. (Taruna http:// tarunamlife. blogspot. com/2010_10_01_archive.html) Sex education means different things to different people. Perhaps this is because we precise sex, as we do other things, in relation to our own expression and attitude. First of all, sex education which is sometimes called sexuality education involves all aspects of the individual not merely the physiological process and physical needs. Sex education is also about developing young people’s skill so that they make informed choices about their behaviour, and feel confident and competent about acting on these choices. Sex education is about taking precautionary measures and making children aware of what it is...

...growth and social and environmental sustainability, are not easy to resolve. The NSDS process has gained impetus following the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, where it was agreed that countries need to take immediate steps to elaborate and formulate NSDS systems that can continuously improve. The UN Guidance Document describes an NSDS as a comprehensive, adaptable, continuous and long term undertaking that helps a country to achieve economic prosperity and higher levels of social welfare, while at the same time preserving the environment. An NSDS is not just something that can be put together in a document and be promulgated. Development of an NSDS requires multi-stakeholder participation, partnerships, country ownership, shared vision with a commitment to continuous improvement, capacity development and the ability to build on existing knowledge and processes and a clear focus on outcomes. Education is a central dimension of achieving sustainable development, and needs to be incorporated into the NSDS process. Learning is central to the process of NSDS development and implementation. Education for Sustainable Development and National Sustainable Development Strategies Education has been identified as an important social strategy for the realisation of a sustainable future. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) recognises that it is impossible to achieve sustainable development without appropriate education, training and public awareness for ...

...Dear Future Social Media Student, Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Emilio Castillo, I live in Florida and there’s not much else to tell, that and I don’t really know you so… anyways I hope what you’re up to some cool and exciting things. I’m just here to tell you about this course I’ve been taking, Social Media. There are some things I really wish I knew before getting into this class, like how much influence one little post can have , it can starts rumors or even make a change in the world for the good and sometimes even the bad. Ever since I got into this class I’ve really changed my social media habits. Before I really wasn’t really too involved in it, but I’ve come to realize that some involvement can really go a long way, so I’ve started posting more things and commenting on more pictures and posting articles on issues that should have more publicity to try and make a good change in the world using social media. This of course doesn’t apply to everyone as you don’t want your digital footprint to impact you negatively, if you’re already posting all day and night you might want to tone it down a bit, people can find out about things you might not want them to know. As part of the class, we had to do a project to raise awareness on a subject we truly cared about. I really find it sad when people don’t have the same educational opportunities I do and many of us share, so I attempted to raise awareness over inequality in education. Some advice I have for you for...

...Sex education is instruction on issues relating to human sexuality, including human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual activity, reproductive health, emotional relations, reproductive rights and responsibilities, sexual abstinence, and birth control. Common avenues for sex education are parents or caregivers, formal school programs, and public health campaigns. Schools have a significant role in imparting effective sex education to adolescents. Research has shown that with effective sex education to young adults in schools, it is possible to push back the age at which adolescents experiment with sex. These programs also have the potential to encourage youngsters to use protection during their first sexual experience. Sex education should be taught in school to create early awareness among teenagers, to prevent social problem, and to develop healthy attitude. The factor why sex education should be taught in school is to create early awareness among teenagers.

...American universities are the best in the world, with new innovations and breakthrough technologies being created on a daily basis, and an expendable amount of information to be learned, American students are often found in a time crunch. Subsequently, more and more students are looking for ways to increase their productivity and work potential. When time management reaches its optimum benefit, students are often found looking for new, less conservative and unfortunately riskier ways of maintaining their ambitions. Pharmaceutical Stimulants, particularly amphetamines have become the new trend among those trying to achieve their goals of higher education. Some have hailed it as, “the only drug with a positive purpose” (K. Graff, 3). Unfortunately, as with all drugs, from pharmacies or the street, come with risks....

...Running Head: COUNSELING AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Stepping up Counseling Responsibilities in a Socially Unjust Society Abstract Social Justice has been an emerging issue over the last century in today’s service environment of helping professionals. I reviewed several articles where the main theme is; we live in a world of systems that allow for injustice and oppression. The Professional Counselor’s work deals with many of the symptoms that permit for this injustice and oppression. The articles had similar recurring traits that are stressed as important practices that need to be adopted by Professionals in the helping field to increase awareness of social justice and implement actions for change in a socially unjust society. I will explain the four main attributes: knowledge, awareness, research and advocacy and explain how education and focus in each area will contribute to the social justice inequities in the communities we practice. If professional counselors want to promote social justice, to be effective, there has to be a movement to take action on the burdensome stigmatisms and unfortunate inequities that human beings bring to professionals about the communities they live in. Social justice and the counseling profession have roots that goes back to the 1900’s. It has always been understood from a social work point of view that problems such as depression, anxiety, and abuse often derive from economic...

...controversy would only lead to the destruction of his product and company. Moreover, he knew that the company could not just sit around and do nothing. It was in his ethical and moral decision where we see him making the right choice. To start, many social activists believed that by adding a new chemical (the oil of mustard) into the product, they would prevent and destroy it’s abuse altogether. Open to the idea but curious about the negative repercussions, Beto sent his H.B. Fuller staff members to look into the side effects of this addition to the glue. Ultimately, he discovered that the ‘inclusion of oil of mustard in products which contains solvents, in order to prevent their perversion into use as an addictive drug, only causes greater harm to the consumers (Donaldson 27). Upon this discovery, Beto met with the Solvent Abuse Foundation for Education (SAFE) and concluded that the glue sniffing abuse was a social and educational problem with the poor Honduran community and not product-oriented. Through an analysis of this, I agree that education is key. It is smart not to target the product itself, but to find the reason why the Honduran youth are abusing the industrial glue. With that reason, H.B. Fuller can focus its education around that. In the case study, a journalist stated that...

These skills play an important role in children’s ability to make successful life transitions, learn and reach their potential at school.
