Class Assignment (CA) #5:
The Internet as Source of Information about Sex and Sexuality
North American parents tend to give their children little information about sex. Although both parents and adolescents express a desire for open communication about sexual issues, parents often feel that they lack the knowledge and communication skills to talk openly about sex. Increasingly, the Internet has become a source of information about sexual matters.
Your task is to locate a site on the Internet that gives information on adolescent sexuality or advice on discussing sex with children. For this Thoroughly review and critique the information provided by the site. For example, what topics are covered? Are values discussed in addition to the biological details of sex? Are the more difficult topics, such as homosexuality, contraception, oral sex, and STDs, discussed? How is sex defined? Does it include activities and behavior other than vaginal intercourse? If so, what topics/issues/behaviors are covered? Does the site provide information about risky sexual activities? Do they warn parents and teens about the consequences of risky sexual behavior? What is the quality of the information at the site? Does the information seem accurate (supported by research in the text)? What specific advice, if any, is given for improving communication between parents and children? Is information at the site provided in a culturally sensitive manner? Explain. Who do you think can benefit from visiting the site? Is it appropriate for teenagers? For children? For Parents? Explain.
Respond to these questions in no more than 2 pages.
