Conclusion

The conclusion of our discussion is...Just like what my group member have said, sex education is very important in preventing social illness in this world. We have to note that while some people are rallying against sex education; there is definite need for it to protect the children that we have in the world right now. After seeing the world scenario, Malaysia should also put some efforts in emphasizing sex education. So, sex education is needed in our society.

Conclusion...

Finally our discussion had come to a conclusion...since we had discussed this topic for quite a long time, i think all of you have a quite clear picture on this - the importance of SEX EDUCATION in MALAYSIA...yes, it is really very important since the social ills like abortion, pre-marital sex, teen pregnancies are become more and more serious nowadays until got cases like 13 years old had become a mother...therefore, sex education should be implement in our country and before the steps are taken, we as Malaysian should change our mind-set first just like what my group member said...hence, i hope the relevent authorities will implement sex education in our country so that peoples can gain more correct information about sex and so can decreases the probability of social ills.

conclusion

let's come with some conclusion..
after discussion for so long, we should come out with a conclusion..
we cannot deny the importance of sex education in creating the new thinking of new generation of Malaysia.
Not only that, sex education can help in preventing social illness.
when i mention about bringing new thinking, then i don mean that we should follow the western style of thinking..
what i trying to say is that, we need to change the mind-set as we keep on mention in our discussion...
we are Malaysian, we not necessary have to follow the western people in applying sex knowledge in our lives. we can do it in our own way, Malaysian ways!!

at the end of this discussion, we still think that sex education is important in preventing social illness. i hope you who read our blog will start thinking of this issue as it is really needed in our society..

Ways to implement sex education?

Yes, i agree with what my two group members said. Before sex education is being implemented in our country, we as Malaysian should change our mind-set first that is quite conservative thinking, we should accept this topic openly and do not think that it is a taboo. After that, the steps only can be taken like government should provide some sex education courses for educators. This is to let them become more familiar and gain more information about sex education. Only then they are able to deliver the knowledge in a better way. Besides that, parents also play an important role. This is because they are the one who close and have an intimate relationship with their children, so if parents try to pass on the basic sex knowledge since their children are small, it would be easier for them to accept sex education when they grow up. These are some of the ways to implement sex education in our country. If you have any idea or opinion, please leave a comment to me.

#2 ways to implement sex education in Malaysia

As what Juer mention, I agree that government plan an important role in carrying out sex education.
Not only campaign, government can actually control the media. Not saying that abandon sex education in public but to allow media to show some simple but meaningful video clip.
If we really want sex education to be implemented in Malaysia, we need to start from the very beginning, where everyone need to accept that sex education is not a "taboo".

When we are more familiar with certain term of sex, then we would not feel shy and can accept sex education more freely rather before. Having more sex knowledge is not a shame and we should feel pround of it because we dare to accept sex knowledge while other dare not.

We should open our heart in order to accept sex education...
do you agree??

Ways to implement sex education in Malaysia ?

There are so many ways to carry out sex education. The goverment and parents are imporntant in carrying out sex education.

The goverment can play its role by organising more awareness campaign to emphasize on the importance of sex education. Through doing this, the mind set of the people in Malaysia would be changed to make them realise the importance of having sex education since young. Despite being sensitive issue, people will be more acceptable of this campaign if it is carried out frequently.

Parents can also play an important role to carry out sex education. Parents are alway close with their children. So, if parents try to pass on the basic knowledge since their childhood, it will be more acceptable of this issue when they grow up.

Why Sex Education not being emphasized in Malaysia?

Sex Education for youth is an absolute must. We all think that sex education is somethings you learn when you are in elementary school and that is it. But the reality is that is not enough to learn the mechanics of sex or to learn clinical aspects of reproduction, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. This is necessary in order for us to become better at sex. And the better we become at sex, the more fulfiling our lives will be.

Although we realise the importance of sex education, but the question is why it is not being emphasized in Malaysia.

Just like my group members said, there are many reasons that why this happen. For me, the main reason is our culture and environment factors. As we know that mostly Malaysian still have the conservative thinking. This makes us unable to accept this concept. We cannot deny that even the western countries, their social illness is quite serious but at least they are willing to accept this knowledge.

In China, they are launching a campaign to break sex taboo. Adapted to Reuters Life, China launched a national sex education campaign aimed at breaking traditional taboos and getting more people to seek treatment for STIs. Many of Malaysian think that our children would go the wrong way if they are educated about sex. But ignorance about sex is far more dangerous than guidance and the social illness in Malaysia will keep on increasing.

Why sex education is not being emphasized in Malaysia?

Just like my group members said...actually our country had did something to implement sex education, but it is not enough...the government should put more effort on it but before that, they should know the reason why sex education is not being emphasized in Malaysia first...for me, one of the reason is because parents and the educators themselves lack of the knowledge on sex and so they are not able to pass on the information or knowledge to their children and students. Moreover, some of them still have the conservative thinking that they feel shy to talk on this topic-SEX. For an example, last time in school, during my biology class, my teacher just very fast went through the topic that about sex without explaining it in details. This will let the students wondering what is actually sex about and so they will just follow what the actors did in the movie. Indirectly, this will cause the social illness become more and more serious since they don't have the true information on sex.

Why sex education is important to preventing social ills ?

Before we going to touch about why sex education is currently not emphasize in Malaysia, I would like to feed back that why it is important.
The importance of sex education to preventing social ills :

• Sex education will provides young people with the basic knowledge about sex. By this way, they will more understanding their bodies and gender roles in the positive ways.

• Educating the child on the impontance of protection. This is from a disease and pregnacy point of view. When you have a teen that is sexually active then you can see that you are going to have to get the most from the protection point of view. The teen need to know what methods are available, how to get them, and what they need to know about them. This is important for both the boy and the girl as a whole.

• Sex education also will increase their responsibility towards themselves and other in this area. On this way, they will more consider the consequences of having free sex or premarital sex.

why sex education is not being emphasized in Malaysia?

since we kNow that sex education is important, then why it is not being emphasized in here?
in my opinion, i think the main reason is our mind-set. we are so used to our culture that is more conservative compare to the western countries. The goverment did try to introduce sex education in the 1997, but unexpectally they took a step backward by restricting no sex in media.
Yes, we cannot deny that too much sexual issue being expose in the media will causes some unwanted effect. But if we keep on living in this kind of environment, when are we going to have an improvement? Some simple but meaningful sex education video should be available in order to let Malaysian get more familiar with sex education and would not reject it without knowing what it is about.
Not only youth but also the adult should take up their responsibility in this issue. If we keep on rejecting sex education, then the social illness in Malaysia will keep on increasing.
So, to overcome the social illness, we need to have sex education and before that, we need to change our mind-set.
"sex education is NOT a TABOO"

#3 the importance of sex education in preventing social ills..

social ills... what make the society ill??
ever since we are all girls, why don we just focus on those social ills that are related to us?
what are the things?
pre-marriage sex? teen pregnancies? illegal abortions? free sex?
those are the things that related to sex, and we as female need to know about sex in order to protect ourselves.
We are educated people, so we might already learn all the basic knowledge way back to high school time, but how about those people who might not have chance to be expose to these knowledge?
They are human also, they have the authority to know all these things.
As I mention before, sex education educate us not only sex but also other things.
I want to know how much you know about sex education..
can you all reply me in giving me some comment??

Continue to the importance of sex education in preventing social ills...

Do all of you agree with this statement-human are curious animals? I'm sure all of you will be agree with it that humans are curious animals especially during the teenage time that is when they will experience the changes of their body. However, they don't have other sources to get the information about 'sex' except from peer pressure and the media. Therefore, they will just learn and do like what the media showed. But, the reality is some elements of the mass media - television, radio, magazines - are ill-informed and this is also one of the reason why social ills are more serious nowadays. Thus, sex education play an important role here that they will provide the right information to the teenages.

Sex education also educate the child on the importance of protection as part of safe sex routine. Through this, they will know what they should do and also what they should not do in order to protect themselves. This may serve a higher purpose of preventing sexually transmitted infections. Moreover, they will also learn to make decisions that respect themselves and others by taking account the possible consequences. For instance, youngsters will be more matured, responsible and social ills can also be reduced. Furthermore, research had shown that children that are subjected to sex education are more apparent to practice safer sex.

The above is another importance of sex education in preventing social ills. Thus, if you want to share any information or opinion with me, please leave a comment to me.

#2 Why is Sex Education Important ?

Do you think sex education is important ? Or you never think of this question before ? How about now, I will tell you a little bit about the importance of sex education.

Do you agree with pre-marital sex? Actually having sex too early in life can ruin a promising youth. Besides the pregnacy issue there is also the extreme danger of the STDS (Sex Transmitted Diseases) and other such diseases that can strike. That is why sex eduation is so important in this world. We have to note that while some people are rallying againts sex education, there is a definite need for it to protect the children that we have in the world right now.

Sex is everywhere and as such you have to see that the usage of sex education in school curriculum that are out there is going to help matters. The teens of the world are under tremendous pressure in the way of sex and they are continuing to spend a great deal of time thinking about whether or not they should involve in sexual activities.

So, hopefully after you all read my post, you all will have the concept about important of sex education. I will try to give more detail as soon as possible. No matter you agree or not, please give us your comments.

Why is sex education important?

After know about the meaning of sex education, i'm sure all of you will agree with me that there are many importance of sex education. One of them is sex education provide youths with information they need to understand like the changes of their body and the reproductive process. This can let them more understand about their humanity, reproductive rights and developmental changes such as puberty, menopause, aging. Once they have the knowledge about it, they will realised that the change they are experiencing or would experience is indeed normal. For example, girls would not get shocked, panic and afraid at their first menstruation once they already had the knowledge about it.

Besides that, through sex education, young people can also learn to appreciate and recognize their own sex. They will know that their bodies just as good, beautiful and special as other God's perfect creations. This can prevent social ills from happen since they will appreciate and respect their own body and also the others.

Hence, it is very important to implement sex education. I will write the other importance of sex education in preventing social ills in the following posts. If anyone of you have any opinion or suggestion, you may leave a comment to me so that we can discuss more about it.

What is sex education ?

Love and sex is blooming among the youth, mainly because of early physical and psychological development, and the influences of foreign cultures and modern lifestyles. Adapted from Metro Prima Ahad, a 14 year old student known as " Andy " admitted for paying RM5 " for a round of sex " with a senior at school, adding they would either " do it " at his or her home. Nowadays sex is very normal among youth.

So sex education should be taught in school, partly because it is a means by which they are helped to protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.

What is sex education is really about ? Sex education, which is sometimes called sexuality education and relationships education, is the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. Sex education is also about developing young people's skills so that they make informed choices about their behaviour, and feel confident and competend about acting on these choices. It is widely accepted that young people have a right to sex education.

I would be pleased if someone can drop me a comment after reading my post.

#2 What is sex education?

What will come across your mind when we mention about "sex education" ? Will you think of something that make you feel discomfort? Usually, when we ask people about their opinion toward "sex education", firstly, they will give us kindly of discomfort facial expression. Maybe this is due to the culture and environment factor that we have in eastern countries.

Let's talk about sex education seriously! Actually sex education not only about sex alone, but it is a kind of education that educate people about human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, reproductive health, emotional relations, reproductive rights and responsibilities, contraception, and also other aspect of human sexual behaviors. Besides, it also include family planning, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ways to avoid STIs and also birth control methods.

Basically, sex education is being taught formally and informally. In most countries nowadays, part of the sex education are being taught as a full course within the curriculum in junior high school or high school. Usually, it is just a part of the biology class, health class, economic class or physical education class. That makes sex education even harder to be explored by the new generations. Sex education may be taught informally, people can gain information through their conversation with friends, family, or even teachers. They can also get the information the media, which include magazine advice columnist, sex self-help author or even through the web site related to sex education.

Sad to say that Malaysia's sex education is basically focus on the biological side which is more to biology knowledge. We are not being expose to a deeper level of sex education. Maybe this is due to our culture and environment factors again. We are simply touching the surface of sex education while we ourselves thought that we know what sex education really about.

Last time, I conducted a survey among students in Malacca Matriculation College, the results came back to what I mentioned just now. Now the problem is we thought we know about sex education yet we do not know. The main point here is that we need to make a change, at lease changing our attitude toward sex education.

I hope that after reading this post, you'll know more about sex education, at lease knowing that sex education is not only about sex. If you want to know more, please leave your comment and I'll post more information about sex education.

What is sex education?

What is sex education??? I'm sure most of us just know that it is an education that talk about sex and don't know the real meaning of it. Actually sex education is a difficult concept to define. There are a number of dimensions on which sex education could be defined. At the cognitive level, it can be defined as understanding human sexuality, especially human reproduction. At a more practical level, sex education might be defined as the preparation necessary for an individual's functional ability to control personal fertility successfully. Behaviorally this control would lead to avoiding social illness like unwanted pregnancies.

Thus, it is very important to implement sex education. But, in our country someone may raise the objection that sex education is not only difficult but dangerous to be given by parents or teachers since they themselves are not well informed or competent or qualified to do it. But the answer is that all married people know something about sex and a beginning should be made to break the vicious circle and this difficulty will disappear for the next younger generation, with as much sounder and franker attitude as possible toward sex built up in the present generation and which attitude will be rational, natural and sounder still in the subsequent generations.

For population control, therefore, parents and teachers have to educate the children who are the future parents, about the "how" of birth or the process of reproduction. In other words education about the functioning of the sex urge, has to be given at the proper time and discussions on sex should cover the entire technique of growing up and not only the narrower aspect. Healthy sex education is necessary for responsible parenthood.

To know more about sex education, i hope anyone of you can leave a comment to me so that i can explain more about it.

Introduction

Hi...My name is Ng Ju Er, you all can call me Joey or Juer. I am from sakura's group and my user name is little duck duck. The topic for our assignment is sex education. We are going to focus on the importance of sex education among the youth in illness society. In this blog, we are going to discuss 4 questions about sex education. Therefore, i hope you all can join our discussion and let us your comments.Thank you.

Introduction for our topic...

Hi...I am Lee Kuan Yee, you can call me as Lee and I am one of the members of this Sakura group. Like what my friend said we are discussing on the Importance of Sex Education in Preventing Social Ills topic. Since we are in eastern country-Malaysia, I'm sure when the people heard about sex, they will said 'aiya', 'hiss' and other silly sounds. Why they will give all these kind of expression? Is it because they don't know what is sex or is because they never heard this word before? The answer is 'NO'. They all know about sex but they just shy to talk about it and thus have the wrong opinion that sex is a sensitive issue. But if they think seriously, they will notice that actually nowadays most of the social ills are related to sex and this is also the reason why we choose this topic to discuss. Therefore, we hope all of you can join us in this discussion.

introduction for our assignment..

As i descirbe our blogsite, this is part of our assignment for "English for Social Science". Most probably we have the title of " The importance of sex education among youth in preventing social illness". We are still discussing on the topic and also the four questions that need to be discuss within this blog. The reason we choose this topic is because we know that in our society, not much people dare to speak about sex, even it's in a biology class. When somebody just touch about that issue, people will start to feel uncomfortable and shy, especially for the girls. I'm not balming on what we have now, but want to improve it and let more people know about sex education and the important thing is that talking about sex is not an illegal action. This is what we need to improve on. I hope this would be an interesting topic to discuss on. You are welcome to give any comment to our blog. Before i ended this post, i would like to introduce myself, I am Teoh En Wan from group "Sakura". You may call me En Wan but in this blog, my user name would be hermitt.
