Sexual And Reproductive Rights

Abstract This paper aims to submit a research results whose objective is to interpret social representations considered by young inmate males from the Centro de Educaciòn El Oasis, in relation with sexual an reproductive rights and their incidence in adolescent pregnancy, in order to lead them to a resignification process evident in their own life project. It is a qualitative study developed from a participatory methodology in Colombia, 2015. The sample consisted of a total of 60 young adults, including 46 teens and managers. The techniques used were a social survey given to 46 adolescents, an unstructured interview to 30, focus groups and resignification workshops. The representations by teenagers and young people about the subject came from female figures, inculcated early, when still in their homes, according to the socio-cultural contexts in which they were inserted. Thus, their beliefs do not favor the development of practices aimed at preventing diseases and teenage pregnancy, in addition to reinforcing stereotyped ideals of masculinity and femininity and prejudices in relation to sex, prioritizing sexist and homophobic notions regarding gender roles.

Sexual And Reproductive Rights

This paper focuses on how a pedagogy of the body is not facilitated in schools. An examination of the contemporary dilemma of teenage pregnancy at one school site maps the obstacles that prevent a critical teaching of the body in one historical and situational moment. Teachers presented information to students in a cloak of protectionism that was designed to shield students from stress or harsh realities but in effect promoted disinformation to students. Teachers' relationships with administrators and school boards circumscribed their abilities to critically teach a pedagogy of the body. As a result, teachers as subjects of domination were often deceived through an identity of professionalism that concealed their vulnerability to the political implications of their teaching. Finally, the author suggests that a critical teaching of issues of the body requires a vision much larger than one that is focused on a classroom or a school. Such teaching requires a vigilance in questioning all assaults on the sexual and reproductive rights of students while attending to the sexual politics of conservative agendas that are purported to be for “a student's own good.”

The Subject

As discussed by McAnarney et al (Pediatrics 61:199, February 1978), a comnprehensive teenage maternity program can have an effect on reducing the psychosocial risk of repeat pregnancy. School attendamice figures and reliance on government financial assistance, however, did not differ between the groups they studied. Perhaps the missing key to reducing the psychosocial risks of teenage pregnancy may be found by including the girl's partner in the activities offered by maternity programs. Since the work of Pannor et al1 in 1969, there has been a paucity of literature addressing the subject of the unmarried teenage father, and health care providers show little interest in encouraging these teenage boys to share in the responsibility of the pregnancy.

Concept Of Truth

Abstract This article explores various ways in which the concept of truth is actually used across discursive boundaries separating common sense, science, mathematics, and religion. Although my overall approach is pragmatic, I argue that we also need to take some semantic restrictions into consideration. The main objective of the article is the issue of translating concepts of truth in various linguistic and cultural contexts without losing sight of the particular network of connotations. I come to the conclusion that with regard to a religious discourse, a translatable concept of truth typically enters the grammatical place of the subject rather than the predicate. From this position the discursive constraints of authority, authenticity and expressivity are held in check by an internal predetermination of the implied possibility of falsehood. Most of all, however, the article focuses on non-propositional aspects of a religious expression of truth, in which case the very distinction between true and false becomes patently irrelevant.

The Relationship

AbstractThe link between age and happiness has been the subject of numerous studies. It is still a matter of controversy whether the relationship is U-shaped, with happiness declining after youth before bouncing back in old age, or not. While the effect of age has been examined conditional on income and other socio-demographic variables, so far, the interactions between age and income have remained insufficiently explored. Using data from the European Social Survey, this article shows that the nature of the relationship between age and happiness varies strongly with different levels of relative income. People in the lowest decile of the income distribution experience a ‘hockey stick’: a deep decline in self-reported happiness until around age 50–55 and a small bounce back in old age. The classic U-curve is found mostly in the middle-income ranks. For people at the top of the income distribution, average happiness does not vary much with age. These results demonstrate the important role of income in moderating the relationship between age and happiness.

Sexual And Reproductive Rights

Violations of women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are frequent all over the world. Women’s sexual and reproductive health is related to multiple human rights. The term ‘rights-based’ has become increasingly linked to the concept of a more comprehensive approach to sexual and reproductive rights of women around the globe. The rights-based perspective is derived from the treaties, pacts and other international commitments that recognize and reinforce human rights, including the sexual and reproductive rights of women. We conducted an extensive review of the guidelines, frameworks, research reports and published articles that have been cited as informing the rights-based approach. The findings of the review highlights what is meant by sexual and reproductive health and rights by the stakeholders, why this matter is important, and what can be done. It demands more partnerships with human rights, women’s and other civil society organizations, increased number of successful national policies, initiatives and/or legislative changes, increased budget and other resources at national and/or local community level, mass communication and engagement of men to promote and advance women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights. Achievement of gender equality is very crucial, because it is a human right that advances women’s empowerment; and is interlinked with sexual and reproductive health and rights.
