Menstruation Body Awareness

In today’s modern society, sex education is seen as one of the seven plagues of Egypt. Let’s face reality, kids as young as 10 years old are having sex. According to the public health data, the chlamydia rate among teenagers have sky rocked by 80 per cent in the past two decades. Is this the result of ignorance or the lack of knowledge? In the article “The Sex Ed Revolution: a portrait of the powerful political bloc that’s waging war on Queen’s Park” by Nicholas Hune-Brown, published in Toronto Life magazine on September, 3, 2015 parents are opposed to the new sex education curriculum for various reasons. Religious and cultural beliefs plays a major part, while others believe the information will lead their kids to experiment. Children are

As a group, society gets uncomfortable when it comes to women’s sexuality and nudity, especially in public. Natalie Angier, a journalist and New York Times best-selling author, is not intimidated when it comes to these matters. In her book An Intimate Geography, Angier explores the female body and all of its wonders. This novel opened my eyes and my attitudes to many events that are happening in society. When reading Natalie Angier’s book, the element that captivated my attention the most was the chapter regarding breasts, titled Circular Reasoning.

Health disparities are preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or in opportunities to achieve optimal health experienced by socially disadvantaged racial, ethnic, and other population groups, and communities (Healthy Aging, 2017). An example of a health disparity would be if women were more likely than men to die from pancreatic cancer. Anyone is capable of having a health disparity. Several factors such as gender, age, social class, race, and where the person lives can cause one to inhibit a health disparity, lessening his or her chances of obtaining good health.

Women fighting for their equality in society is still an issue in the western and non-western countries. This paper will explore women’s rights such as their employment and health rights in India and Canada as they are still very controversial issues today. India is known as a country with a patriarchal system, where inequality and gender issues of women are more frequently seen as opposed to Canada. Canada is known as a country with various types of people from several ethnic backgrounds and where equality is most commonly seen with a very few exceptions. “Urban India still faces the issue of women’s employment and reproductive rights, however, there are resources such as the ‘Action Aid’s Young Urban Women’ program to help support these poor

Unplanned pregnancies have been a taboo trend all throughout history, no matter what background, culture, or class. The mother, in almost every case, is criticized by her friends, family, and peers and it is difficult to find the support she needs. Often times the mother is deemed an outcast and impure and must deal with various accusations and insults. In this kind of situation, the most important thing is to have support both emotionally and financially. This is where class is an important factor because each has its own expectations and values such as reputation and personal success. The two 2007 movies Juno and Knocked Up are both examples of how class affects the outcome of unplanned pregnancy and obstacles that must be overcome.

In the early 1900s, women’s health was non-existent. It was not taught in school, it was never spoken about in the media, and many women themselves had no knowledge about reproductive health. During this time it was common to see women with ten, fifteen, even twenty pregnancies throughout their lives. Men and women both were often unaware on how to plan or prevent a pregnancy and birth control was pronounced illegal. Consequently, this was also a period of high childbirth mortality, as well as a time where many women were dying due to self-induced or “back-alley” abortions.

Being a women in every part of the world and throughout centuries has given women little to nothing of recognition about their bodies and achievements. Deborah helps us understand these difficult topics that a lot of women today are not comfortable talking about to other people and even other women. Deborah talks about women’s desire but she focus on teenage girls entirely. Who are at their peak of mental and physical change in their bodies.

Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders are the main indigenous people lives in Australia for hundreds of years. It is evident that they have spent a happy, healthy life style before colonization but recent Health care literature review shows number of diseases and disorders which show significantly higher rates among indigenous people when comparing with rest of the population. Among all, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is one of the major health conditions. Social disadvantages such as lower education level and employment rates, poor nutrition, higher smoking rates, physical inactivates and poor access to health services has created this significant gap of health indicators between indigenous and non-indigenous communities. It has been led to lower

When a person is trained to hate or fear something, it is common to dread becoming what is hated. Often even a little piece of doubt can cause the person to worry and question themselves. Adolescent girls and women, even those who have never had sexual intercourse, often find that when their period is late they will panic and wonder if they are pregnant. That little bit of doubt can easily well up inside and become a formidable monster of despair and self-doubt. Phil Resch’s spiral into a state of self-doubt after simply considering the thought that he could be an android parallels the struggle young women face with a late period.

Restatement of the thesis statement: Providing sex education in schools is essential and will be significant in reducing teen reproductive indicators such as pregnancy, abortion, and HIV rates because the knowledge that is imparted shall enhance awareness and responsibility among the adolescents

It is important to link gender equality and sustainable development for a number of reasons. How can we achieve a sustainable future, and reach our development goals if half of the world’s population has their rights, capabilities and dignity ignored? Women’s knowledge should be used to help achieve these goals, they should be viewed as central actors, not victims. Furthermore, to be effective, policy actions for sustainability must redress the disproportionate impact on women and girls of economic, social and environmental shocks and stresses. The lives of girls and women have changed dramatically over the past quarter century. There has been progress, today, more girls and women are literate than ever before, and in a third of developing countries, there are more girls in school than boys. Women now make up over 40 percent of the global labour force. In some areas, however, progress toward gender equality has been limited—even in developed countries. Girls and women who are poor, live in remote areas, are disabled, or belong to minority groups continue to lag behind. Too many girls and women are still dying in childhood and in the reproductive ages. Women still fall behind in earnings and productivity, and in the strength of their voices in society. In some areas, such as education, there is now a gender gap to the disadvantage of men and boys. Gender inequality is seen at the very highest level, with women underrepresented in government decision making positions. Women

Teen pregnancy is a worldwide problem and needs to be addressed. Teen pregnancy is becoming more common. According to 94% of US adults,“Teen motherhood is considered ‘a bad thing for our society’” (Mollborn). This explains how unprepared teens are and how little they know about the choices they are making. Also, how little information is known. Schools are more influence than other places on teens. “Schools are an important site of influence on teens’ sexual behaviors, more so than neighborhoods” (Mollborn). This is how important schools are in the life of teenager. Also, how important education is. Therefore, teens that become pregnant are not properly prepared for motherhood.

We live in such society where beliefs about everything have been rooted by superstitious norms and values. People ashamed while talking about the sex and don’t want to talk by thinking that what images they would have in their society if they talk openly in this topic or rather they think that talking on this topic will down their prestige in society. Since a long time sex education has been a great challenge in regarding whether to consider it in school education or not. There had been many disputes about it. It’s because our Nepali traditional society believes that including sex education in high school education will destroy their children’s character and morality as per them it make them aware about sexual intercourse and they try to do it with practice.
