This paper will explain how the brainstorming technique, problem-solving technique and technology method will work best in solving the problem. Part I Brainstorming is a technique used to generate as many thoughts and ideas in a short period of time. I chose brainstorming, because it allows the team to produce efficient answers in a short time. Brainstorming allows the groups to identify certain causes and solutions to the problems quickly.

...When they fell in love, she was barely into her teens, and he wasn't much older. Some saw a star-crossed couple who found understanding, joy and maturity in each other's arms. Others saw impulsive kids whose reckless passion cut them off from family, friends and more appropriate interests, provoked mood swings, delinquent behavior and experimentation with drugs, and ended in tragedy. Romeo and Juliet's story is centuries old, but these two very different views of adolescent romance live on, often simultaneously, in the minds of bemused parents. Lately, teenage romance has caught the attention of a number of researchers, who are increasingly interested in its potentially positive as well as negative effects -- not just on adolescence, but on adult relationships and well-being. According to Dr. Wyndol Furman, an editor of the book ''The Development of Romantic Relationships in Adolescence,'' understanding teenage dating means understanding that adolescence is ''a roiling emotional caldron whose major fuel -- more than parents, peers or school and almost as much as those things combined -- is the opposite sex.'' Dr. Furman, a professor of psychology at the University of Denver, said adolescents' lack of social skills and emotional control can make relationships difficult. Yet, he said, romantic relationships can also be significant sources of support that offer teenagers fun and companionship, help them forge mature identities and offer them practice in managing emotions...

...Technology is constantly advancing within contemporary society and this allows for personal information to be openly shared among individuals with great ease and speed. This technology savvy environment is strongly evident within the life of teenagers and young adults. Lenhart (2009) found that 95% of teenagers have access to the Internet, and 75% own cellphones. Lenhart's study (as cited in Brown et al., 2009), discussed that due to the extensive popularity of personal communication methods, more intimate and explicit communications are occurring. It is becoming apparently aware that the increase in sexting is due to these technological advances (Gordon-Messer, Bauermeister, Grodzinski, & Zimmerman, 2013). The concept of sexting is defined as, “sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages, or nude, partially nude, or sexually suggestive digital images of one self or other via a cell phone, email, or Internet” (Dake, Price, Maziarz, & Ward, 2012, p. 2). Research conducted found that 30% of young adults have sent a sext at least once, and 41% have received a sext at some point (Gordon- Messer et al.). The underlying problem with sexting is being unaware of the short and long-term effects sexting can have on not only themselves but on others as well. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether gender contributes to the attitudes, behaviours and consequences of sexting. Specifically this paper will highlight potential differences and similarities between genders...

...submission is used to describe this harness act. It is a violation of trust and violation of the victim’s body. It causes lifelong emotional scars to the victim. Commonly, date rape is referring to drug-facilitated sexual assault and/or acquaintance rape. Usually date rape is not committed by anonymous people , it can happen after a first date or even years after dating the person. Majority of date rape is committed by men yet 81 per cent of men are raped by other men. 90 per cent of teen are usually acquainted with their attacker. One in every four women are victims of date rape, between the ages of 15 -25 years. One of every twelve mean force women to have sex with them. Unfortunately 90 % of date rape cases are not reported. The question one always askes is what has caused this epidemic. Reasons such traditional socialization of the genders , the introduction of drugs and alcohol, lack of communication between the parties which includes body language and messages sent between men and women. The socialization process of men greatly affects their personality when they are adults and can also give us a guideline to the type of person he would be in a relationship. Traditional male socialization has conformed male’s to be very aggressive , competitive and to have a “never give up” attitude. Males who have been brought up with these characteristics tend to bring that aggressiveness to adulthood. Some feel that it is normal to pressure their date while others...

...In a society were almost all is controlled by government, the peak has officially been reached when the laws of statutory rape came abroad. Statutory rape being the broad term of what society and the government consider a “legal sex age” and those who dare to disobey them will be punished and scared for the rest of their life. I personally see certain aspects Statutory Rape laws as an illogical and unethical way of the government trying to control what they consider to be right, I do in a great part agree with certain aspects of the so called Statutory Rape laws. The term “statutory rape” is used when the government considers people under a certain age to be unable to give consent to sex and therefore consider sexual contact with them to be a rape. The age at which individuals are considered to give consent is called the age of consent. The age of consent can range from thirteen to twenty-one, depending on the limits set by each state in accordance with local standards of morality. Even sex that violates the age-of-consent laws but is neither violent nor physically forced is described as statutory rape. In most jurisdictions, the expressions “under-age sex” or “sex with a minor” are more commonly used. After many years of prosecuting statutory rape laws, some people are being to question whether or not these laws when concerning non-violent “sex with a minor” are actually appropriate and effective in protecting the rights of minors. The people who support statutory rape laws...

...Marijuana, before being deemed illegal by governments around the world, was once used as a major trading currency. Marijuana does more good than harm and I am up to the task of proving that to anyone reading this essay. Marijuana should be legal nationwide and worldwide and I believe one day it will be just that, legal. Hopefully this day comes soon. Now marijuana isn’t some new occurrence in the lives of people all around the world. As I stated earlier, marijuana, or the cannabis plant, was discovered as early as 6,000 BC. The Chinese used cannabis in their meals as if it was oregano or salt. The Chinese also used hemp in textiles and eventually as a form of medicine. All of this, all this subtle and safe usage of marijuana has been in society dating back to before the Common Era. Fast-forward to the Common Era and the early 100s A.D. and hemp was being used as major currency in prominent areas such as China, India, and throughout the Mediterranean and into Europe. In the years to come, however, cannabis and all things related to marijuana slowly became frowned upon and eventually prohibited. As early as the 1700s, marijuana became condemned throughout Europe. Napoleon declared total prohibition of marijuana usage due to its heavy use by lower class Egyptians. Come the 1890s, marijuana-related substances were made illegal in the Ottoman Empire. It took decades, but eventually America followed suit and made the sale and consumption of marijuana illegal. Yet, all these countries made...

...Letter of Intent Mary Funder, Ph. D. Executive Director United States Funding Society Dear Dr. Funder, Planned Parenthood Organizations have been dealing with sexual health related issues such as pregnancies and sexual health education dating back to 1916. Throughout the years since then many things have changed, and many of the changes came from Margaret Sanger, who at that time opened many doors for women back then. Women that were not allowed to do anything about unwanted pregnancies, such as using the birth control pill. In the 1960’s the birth control pill was put on shelves and one in every four women were taking in. As the years continued many other aspects would change as well. The Planned Parenthood organization are in place to help families, women, men, adolescent, and children with education, sexual health questions, and even deal with other pregnancy services. The services will come to many that cannot afford proper health care to little or no cost at all. The Planned Parenthood organization’s mission statement is as follows: “A Reason for being”. The mission statement is in place to show individuals of any race, gender, or ethnicity that help is available to them, and each of the individuals that come into the organization all over the world will be free from any harassment or judgment. Respect and values plays an important role within the Planned Parenthood organizations, and each of the qualified employees or volunteers plan to keep it that way. ...

...Introduction When a teenage girl gets pregnant, this phenomenon is called teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is treated differently in many cultures. A great number of countries, mostly in Asia treat it like a regular thing due to their traditions and peculiarities of the culture. But the Western civilization treats teenage pregnancy like a negative phenomenon, because young people are supposed to study and have normal years of life, without burden and big problems. Unfortunately, teenage pregnancy is quite a frequent thing. Every day we can hear about the cases when a 15-year-old girl has got pregnant and parents do not know what to do. Teenagers are too young to be allowed to get married, and a child commonly lives in single parent family (very often it is difficult to identify the father of the baby). The most common decision of the teenagers and their parents is to get rid of pregnancy. Abortion in such a young age is quite a regular thing nowadays, because a baby is a great responsibility and one can not study and work having it. On the other hand abortion influences the girl’s body badly and it is the next problem. So, the topic is extremely urgent in modern society and nearly every student is asked to prepare a research paper on teenage pregnancy and analyze the problem deeply. Students have to spend much time to discover some cultural aspects and points of view towards teenage pregnancy of different people of the world. They have to brainstorm good methods and...

...Social Networking Danielle Morris Professor Virginia Booth INF 103: Computer Literacy April 16, 2014 Communication is an inevitable occurrence in life and is vital to building and maintaining relationships. Individuals typically interact with family, friends, and colleagues regularly. Previously, landline phones and postal mail were popular methods of communication that individuals and businesses relied on. These venues were used to relay information, engage in transactions, and keep in touch with friends and family. As technology advanced, new and innovate ways of communication emerged. Today, one popular means of communication is that of social networking. A social network can be a group of friends, colleagues, or other personal contacts that a person interacts with. While many benefits of social networking have been identified, there are also consequences that have emerged. Individuals of social networking groups typically share commonalities that create a bond between them. One of the most popular social networks is a site called Facebook. Here, individuals can stay in contact with friends, family, and even create business pages where they can advertise products and services. Individuals typically use Facebook as a means to stay in touch with friends and family, and update others on the changes and happenings of their life. Originally, Facebook was created with the intent of allowing college students the ability to interact with one another. It was a site where...
