Do you think sex ed should be taught in class, or at home? Both because a person educated scientifically on sex can teach more to a student than life lessons by a parent. Both are extremely helpful. Some students are more comfortable with coming to someone that is not their mom or dad. They can easily talk to a teacher about sex then their parents. Some teachers are younger and can relate more to students because some parents are older and “old school”. They cant understand somethings we go thru in our present time. ~Jarel~
Do you think that it is immoral to be taught about such things in school?Sedrick:No I don’t think it’s immoral to taught sex ed in school. It’s falls under the category of biology. So basically the students are learning about the human body. It also can related to health for educational purposes. Really it’s harm less to learn sex ed in school because it’s natural human nature. We’ve been reproducing for thousand’s of year. It’s nothing the average teenager hasn’t seen before.
Why do you think that this bill was proposed in the first place? I think the bill was proposed because senators believe that we live in a fairy tale world. Just because people have certain religions, doesn't mean that they won't go out and do bad things. Children aren't scared of consequences and most of the time they just don't care. Senators believe that if someone came from a certain background, they would be completely innocent and not do what is presented in front of them. They also proposed the bill because they don't believe that it is safe to teach children about sex in school anyway. But what if a child doesn't have a home environment in which they can be taught sex education? ~Treasure
Do you think that this is somehow religion related? That sex-ed should not have to be taught, simply because it shouldn’t be done?Sedrick:Well static’s say that 4 out of 10 americans have already had sex before the age of 16. So on one account religion has nothing to with it,but on another it dose. Some parents want their child in sex ed. Only to ensure their safety of them having sex. Other parents don’t want their child to be exposed to such an thing at an early. But they forget is that we all have hormones. And to suppress those hormones could lead to some serious future problems.
Response:
I agree with everyone’s responses. I think that sex-ed bill should not be passed. All they are trying to do is preserve an innocence, but in reality it could harm us if we’re not being taught sex-ed in school. Parents may assume that we are being taught these things, and may not cover the topic. In the end, we would be going out into the world with no knowledge of such a topic. -Ayunna
The article that I read, was an article about Utah was outlawing sexual-education in school. If the sex-ed course is not taught in school, that means that if students do decide to go out and be promiscuous, they will have no knowledge of contraception, or how to protect themselves. What they are are really trying to do is stop the spread of communicable diseases that can be caught from intercourse. The belief is that the children will be so afraid of the unknown, they will not have sex. The senators also think that it is immoral for such things to be taught in class. Plus, something else is making these senator pursue this bill. They are biased. They believe that through Christian beliefs, the children should not and will not have sex, so why should sex-ed be taught anyway? The problem also is that, if this bill is passed, parents will have to teach their children at home. The problem is, what if the information isn’t credible? Bias comes into play there as well. Children will be sent out with a different knowledge about the topic.
Bullying
Bullying has always been a problem. From the Holocaust to slavery, bullying is making more of an impact on the world today. This particular article talks about some upcoming TV shows that goes in depth to bullying. It follows the lives of families and victims of people who have been bullied. It shows how damaged these people are. These tv shows are bringing about the knowledge of bullying and at the same time, trying to stop it. Bullying has fatal consequences. This article also talks about the reviews of people who have seen shows and trailers of these tv shoes.They don’t know the hardships that children face, when they are being bullied. They open the topic at home and allows their children to talk to them about these issues. When the parents know, it helps the bullied children feel more stabilized, and can help prevent suicide rates and depression.
Would you watch any of the upcoming tv shows that are covering bullying
If you were being bullied, would you or would you not tell your parents? Why?
If I were being bullied, I would tell my parents. They are my legal guardians and they have a right to know if something was happening with me. It would be a process with me. If it were nothing serious, I wouldn't say anything to them about it. If it somehow got worse, I would let them know what was going on so that we were all on the same page and some precautions. If I were to get injured by being bullied, then my parents would have to come up to the school and try to work something out with the staff and the bully's parents. If someone is being bullied, it would help the situation to get the parents involved. ~Treasure
Would you speak up if you saw someone being bullied? Yes I would speak up for someone. I would try to get the person being bullied to speak up for their self. If they aren’t able to do that I will stand up for them. Some people aren’t able to always be strong and stand their ground but I can be there to help. Its never good to watch a kid being picked on everyday excluded out of everything. People shouldn’t determine the life of a kid by bullying them.~Jarel~
3. Do you think that if people would be nicer, suicide rate would decrease?
4. Why do you think some people bully.Sedrick:People can start bullying other people for numerous of reasons. Most do it because they have serious problems at home. They people tend to channel their anger on other people. Or some kids parents fight or abuse one another and the kid see it. So this can cause the child think it’s okay to hurt other people.Then they go to school bullying people thinking it’s okay; this only happens in rare cases.
Response
I think that the tv shows are helping, but not stopping the issue entirely. Just because someone watches the show doesn’t mean they will get the message. People will bully because they are nasty people. They enjoy happiness at other’s expense. They will either bully to hide their insecurities, or because other people are doing it and they think it’s “cool”. It really does hurt people when they are constantly talked about, and it can push them over the edge. http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/02/17/kids-in-the-kitchen/?iref=allsearch
This article talks about how childhood obesity can be avoided. Part of the reason childhood obesity rates have been rising, is because children don’t know how to cook. Children see commercials all the time with all kinds of non-nutritious foods that send heir taste-buds into overdrive. If the children don not know how to cook, they will most likely turn to supermarkets, and fast-food joints. Also, if children get some cooking knowledge, they will be able to get other benefits other than eliminating the risk of obesity. They will get some family time in the kitchen. With all the activities that the family has to juggle, family time may not be achievable. You also will be able to set up family traditions, that can span for generations. Also, it’s a confidence booster! Everyone loves a good cooker, and this may boost your child’s ego and load them up with self-esteem. So, with all these benefits, why not teach your children how to cook?
What are some other ways childhood obesity could be avoided? Some ways child hood obesity can be lowered is limiting the amount of food that kids intake and make healthier choices. Kids sometimes over eat and that causes obesity. If limiting the meals a child eats can lower the weight they gain. Also if they make more healthy choices. Kids like to eat alot of fast food and and desserts so giving them fruits and vegetables can give them a healthier lifestyle. Sometimes you can treat yourself but limit the calories and unhealthy foods you eat.~Jarel~
How could learning how to cook whole meals cut down obesity rates?Sedrick: Well it depends on what exactly your learning to cook. Like for an example, if all you learn is how to cook deserts thats not helping the obesity rates. If you learn how to cook healthy foods with less calories than yea.
Do you think that children with want to learn how to cook themselves?
Do you think that children will pass on their knowledge of health food to their children?
Why are some children obese?
Some children are obese because they don't cook or eat homemade food. They might have busy parents that don't prepare healthy meals for their children to eat. Children depend on microwavable food instead of eating something low in fat. They may also eat a lot of takeout because their family has a busy schedule. In addition to the fast food, children sit around all day without being active. They overeat then sit around and no actions are taken to work it all off. Children are in front of TV screens and computers all day and no physical activity occurs. ~Treasure
Response
I agree. If kids learn how to cook their own healthier meals, it can stop the build-up of calories. However, that is not the only thing contributing to their obesity. Kids have to be more active too. All most kids do is sit around all day. With the combined help of a healthier diet and healthy exercise, obesity can be stopped.
