Thinking has set the boundaries for our past choices in life (Kirby and Goodpaster 2007). From past experiences I have learnt that a behavior that affects you negatively is not easily repeated. For example‚ when I was a child I almost drowned and because of that I have a phobia for water. Now‚ as an adult‚ I will not

Throughout human history across the globe‚ wartime rape has been perceived as an unfortunate‚ but natural and expected by-product of war (see Kennedy-Pipe and Stanley‚ 2001). In essence wartime rape was normalized so that not much had been done in terms of policy and legal prosecution‚ and therefore has been publicly invisible (Hansen‚ 2001).

Sex Education in Schools In school‚ students acquire many subjects‚ not just the basics but also the topics parents lack in teaching such as sex education. Assuming that every child has a parent willing to educate them on this issue is impractical; therefore‚ it becomes the responsibility of the school to educate children on harder topics that they will encounter in their daily lives.
