Sex education around the world pt. 2

-

 

Malaysia-sex education in Malaysia focuses only on the biological aspects of sex, ignoring things such as  consent, contraception and emotional wellbeing. Sex education is all about abstinence. That's why The Woman, Family and Community Development Ministry demanded better sex education. Religious schools are also a problem because they deny any kind of sex education which leaves children uneducated about their future.

The Netherlands-we all know that The Netherlands is a liberal country. In their etos there is written that sex is a natural part of human life (which is obviously true!). Compulsory, sex education is obligatory for all children aged 4 and older. They teach about everything that's needed: contraception, respect for their bodies and sexuality, consent and pleasure. Everything is covered that is why teen pregnancy rates are really low.

New Zealand-in New Zealand sex education has been taught since year 1999 and it is considered as one of the most important areas in Health and Physical education. Sex education is demanded is primary schools and secondary schools until year 10. Although sex education is already on a high level in New Zealand even more plans to improve the program have been announced.

Uganda-as in many other countries, religion plays a big role in education in Uganda. Recently, the proposal to distribute contraceptives to those aged 15 and older, was declined by the Ministry of Health saying that it would encourage promiscuity and abortions. Over a quarter of girls in Uganda aged from 15 to 19 are pregnant or have already given birth.

UK-sex education is compulsory in UK, yet the guidelines are very thin. Since 2017, children aged 4 and above are given relationship education and children in secondary are taught sex education on an ,age appropriate' level.

US-the system of education in US differs from state to state. Only less than half of the schools in US include HIV education in their programmes. Guides is gives to schools in most of the states but schools distcrits limit it. In years 2011-2013 43% of adolescent woman and 57% of adolescent men did not receive information about birth control before they had sex for the first time.

The worst things about living in Iceland

The worst things about living in Iceland  We all know that Iceland is a country of beautiful nature and breathtaking views but we may find some flaws. Iceland is an island so the transport is limited either with the food or with basic use products. You can have huge problems with ordering and buying stuff on the internet. The delivery takes a really long time and it is also really expensive! And to top it all, when picking up the package from the post, you have to pay half the price of the package, so for example when you buy some clothes for 150$ so you will have to pay 75$ to the post. Everything in Iceland is really expensive. All of your money can go just for the gaz to your car! You can realize that for example when a good pair of leggings costs 50$ in the USA (which is still expensive), in Iceland it may cost at least 100$. But the country is so expensive because the minimal pay in Iceland is much higher than in Europe or in the States. The weather in Iceland may be really extrem

 5 most interesting volcanoes in Iceland We all know that Iceland is mostly popular because of many dormant and active volcanoes. Today I would like to present couple of the most interesting in my opinion. The first one is Krafla . It lays in the north Iceland and it is surrounded by steaming vents boiling mud pools and bubbling hot springs which create unique views. Although the volcano is frequently active, it is a home to a coldwater lake that has a beautiful emerald color. The next volcano I find really interesting is the Oarefajokull volcano. Its is located on the southeastern coast of Iceland. What makes it so unique and beautiful, you may ask. Well, the volcano is covered in a blindingly bright white glacier. From the top of the volcano you are able to see the coastal cliffs and the famous Black Sand Beach! The next really beautiful volcano is the Askja volcano. You can reach it only by traversing Odadahraun-the largest lava field and volcanic desert in Iceland! Not only the jo

The first I'd like to mention is that Iceland was then last place on place to be settled by humans! It is known to be one of the youngest landmasses on the planet. It was discovered accidentally by the Vikings about 1,100 years ago. Another interesting and unknown thing about Iceland is that many of its citizens believe in trolls and elves! All the fairytales have begun at the time of the Vikings and were passed down from generation to generation till nowadays The next fact surely will make happy all the environmentalists. Iceland is one of the most eco-friendly country in the world!
