Education is a right that can’t be denied to any citizen; however, actual educational procedures must be closely monitored by a supervisor to assure of a high quality education. In Mexico, education is guaranteed by the third article of the Constitution, which is: “The education imparted by the Federal State shall be designed to develop harmoniously all the faculties of the human being and shall foster in him at the same time a love of country and a consciousness of international solidarity, in independence and justice.” In spite of this, a lot of children that live in unknown regions don’t receive proper instruction, causing incorrect interpretation of such delicate themes as it is sexuality.
Years ago, sexuality was an issue that couldn’t be spoke about in school, or even in the house. It was said to be inappropriate and impolite to talk about it, and as a consequence, a lot of young people received a wrong idea of what sexuality is and how delicately this theme must me explained to avoid future mistakes.
For a lot of years, Mexican government has tried to construct appropriate study guides to teach young people the extensive list of alternatives that exist to prevent pregnancies, STD’s and many other consequences that the lack of proper and correct education of this matter could bring.
They not only construct school plans, but they also organize campaigns that teach adolescents the importance of understanding their sexuality, getting a correct sexual identity and always protecting themselves and their partner. Some examples of these campaigns could be the free contraceptives that can be acquired in any Social Health establishment.
Fortunately, government actually managed to have very complete study plans that give a proper guide to the respective manager of the class and that tells him/her how to teach young students a correct sexual education to avoid the wave of unwanted pregnancies and the every time more common STD’s.
If these measures continue, a radical change will be observed in our society. This is because, as we all know, education is the base of any civilized organization.

Mr. James:
ReplyDeletemy first and second post were already posted, so the only one that was missing was the third one. Here it is.
Thanks! see you,
P.S. it's 2:42 p.m! ;D
I think that the importance of the education involves the desitions in the sexuality, because if you exactly the consequences, what is going to happen if you have sex with someone unprotected, leave aside the pregnancy, you can get diseases, and also those diseases the baby could have it too, so is veyr important know everything, like the contraseptive methods, condoms, because you can take care of yourself, or just let the method 100% sure that is the abstinence.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cinthia's comment. School, family and even friends make comments about having sex with someone. Having a good education is important, 'cause we have to know all the disadvantages that unprotected sex can appeal. We have the obligation to inform us about such consequences, leaving behind getting pregnant, but also the spread of diseases and the transmition of these ilnesses to someone else or a baby...
ReplyDeleteWe can't say we didn't know the consequences of our actions, and that we didn't know they're contraceptive methods such as: condoms, pills, surgeries, etc, so we have to take care of ourselves and avoid spreading and transmiting more STDs and teenagers pregnancy.

ReplyDeleteIn this article also involves the right of a proper sexual education. Now in this days the sexual education has reach the point in which young people and also adult people can ask for this information,they need to have this information, clear doubts and know the facts that sex have. Also they need to know the consequences of having sex without the proper protection, the best thing that can happen, speaking in a good sense, is having a baby, there are solutions for this, like giving the baby in an open abortion. The worst thing is having an STD, these diseases you live with them once you get them, even worst, they could kill you and you can infect other people.

ReplyDeleteProper education is a powerful weapon to attack the wave of unwanted pregnancies

As crista said, in Mexico the education is a right but it is only concentrated in the cities, leaving a lot of children who live in extreme poverty without this right. In fact the education is a weapon that can be used as a defense against many adversities or situations that arise in our body when it develops, like sexuality. Although my opinion is a little bit different it involves the education as the answer to attack the unwanted pregnancies, I think that the education that should come from our parents will be more valuable than the school because we obey more our parents than the teachers. The values are important in this theme and those came from our parents , with this ones we can practice the abstinence.
