condom dispensers

Essay 2
October 14, 2013
In modern society a college degree is not only encouraged but greatly desired by the masses. Within their dream they imagine a beautiful school, excellent job, and lifetime of success. Camden County College should be all about giving the students the best education they can possibly receive. CCC came up with an idea to install condom dispensers in all of the restrooms. This idea will bring up very conflicting point of views. Students will begin to question what the school’s true priorities are. CCC Administrations are there because they know what is best for the school, they make all the decisions for the school whether it is wall paint or it is faculty. Both the students and their environment heavily contribute to the success of the educational institution. Discrepancies may present themselves that prove to be irrelevant to the college’s true priorities. Overall, CCC Administration should not be making decisions that are so irrelevant to the college’s initial purpose.
Nearly every student who attends CCC is eighteen or older. The age of a legal adult is eighteen years old. Therefore, students in CCC are perfectly capable of making their own decisions. Students will practice unsafe sex regardless of condom dispensers. “Responses from a student sample of 1,919 indicated that slightly more than 10% used condoms consistently”

Mahon 2
(Prince, Alice, and Amy L. Bernard 11-21). Hence, the condom dispensers will have no purpose to Camden County College.
There are many issues that management at CCC should be thinking about solutions they should be working towards. Perfection is rarely achieved and there is always room for improvements. When creating a shortlist of the aforementioned issues, condom dispensers do not make the cut, instead, advisors should be looking for ways to better their campus with books and technology. Education should be the number one

    Answer: In “Why Schools Should Make Condoms Available to Teenagers” Alan Singer states that there’s a time when parents are going to feel maybe embarrassed or scare to talk to their kids about how does a condom work? but that embarrassment moment would be a price to pay for his protection from disease and premature fatherhood. There are parents, politicians, and educators that argue that school should be a place for learning math and reading and science, not how to put on a condom. Also say that giving condoms to kids in schools is supporting them to have sex, but giving condoms to kid would help decreasing STDs and teenage pregnancy.…

    Dr Rosales Summary

    Dr. Rosales has taken a very tough role of trying to raise completion rates and foster student success at Oak Community College in Pennsylvania. It takes a worthy leader to be able to turn around completion rates in just one year. Not only does Dr. Rosales have to refocus administrators, faculty, and staff but he also must work to lead the students as well. Community colleges face so many challenges in the twenty-first century. Over ninety-five percent of all American community colleges have an open-admissions policy (Bragg & Durham, 2012). Because of this, community colleges hold a unique niche in higher education. Community college is the jumping off point for all students regardless of socioeconomic status, race, religion, gender,…

    Every year the population in Texas is steadily growing. One social issue that continues to challenge Texas residents is Teen Pregnancy. According to the Texas Department of Health, "every ten minutes a Texas teen becomes pregnant." Because of those statistics Texas has held one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the United States. Which raises the question, Should condoms be available to teens in Texas high schools? Some parents and educators suggest that providing condoms in Texas high schools is condoning sexual behavior. Others believe that teens should have access to condoms to help protect their sexual health and an unwanted pregnancy. After considering both sides of the issues I strongly suggest that condoms be available for teens in Texas high schools so they are properly equipped to have safe sex and to decrease the rates of unwanted teen pregnancy and teens contracting STD's or HIV.…

    According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the average teenager engages in sexual intercourse by the age of seventeen, but do not marry until the mid-twenties (citation). This means that young adults are at an increased risk for unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections for nearly ten years or longer. The numbers of students engaging in sexual activity of ages thirteen to twenty-four continues to grow each year, as does the number of unplanned pregnancies and HIV infections due to not being fully educated about the risks. Today, the duty of educating students and teenagers about sexual intercourse and the risks involved is left to the government and public school system. Abstinence education programs in public…

    As part of the proposal, all students are sent home with a parent consent form. This form will state in extensive detail what is to be taught to their student during their experience. If any parent feels they do not want their child learning something, the child can be taken out of the class for a specific day or not participate in any of the program. This proposal is not meant to take away parents rights but instead to keep their children safe. Even though there are a few number of parents that wish to keep their adolescents out of the programs, many agree to a complete comprehensive sex education program. In fact parents all around the country are supporting comprehensive sex education. Parents across the nation are reported to be for a good informative sex education program. Studies show that “69% of parents supported teaching about proper use of condoms” (Brener). The parents of teens want their children to be safe. Parents understand the consequences of a poor sex education programs in their…

    Promoting the use of different methods of birth control is a good thing because it is bringing awareness to an issue that can help college students who are sexually active stay healthy. More positive portrayals of using birth control in the media would help reduce the rate of pregnancies, school drop outs, and STD’s (Influence of New Media on Adolescent Sexual Health: Evidence and Opportunities). So, overall birth control is a positive contribution toward helping not only college students but everyone. It is the safe and smart decision to eliminate concerns dealing with sexually transmitted diseases and early…
