Abstract
Should schools include comprehensive birth control education within the sexuality education curriculum? This paper argues this serious question that needs attention as every year millions of teenagers are making decisions that affect them the rest of their lives. The author feels that a clear effective program should be a major priority for educators and politicians. This paper analyzes articles that were published within the past few years written by those who did research in the field and had their results to prove their point. It argues strongly on behalf of the comprehensive sexuality education. If information is left out, students are left out.
From the Paper
""I lost my virginity at age 16 to my high school sweetheart and he dumped me two months later. Sex was never a big issue in my junior high or high school; I never fully learned everything until I got to college when they gave incoming freshman a test and a presentation. You mostly learn things about sex from friends and sometimes parents." --JM, (avert.org) This is a submission of a young lady to a website dedicated to educating young adults about what they deserve to know about sexuality. Are websites such as this one necessary? According to young people like JM, they are. Parents would be alarmed to find out that most adolescents learn more about sex from their peers than from parents or school. The same adolescents who cited peers as their principal source of information on sex also had more permissive standards about sexuality than those whose sources were more reliable (Fromme & Emihovich, 1998)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that sex education became a traditional part of the middle school and high school curriculum in the middle of the 20th century. The writer points out that in the last 50 years, social attitudes and American cultural beliefs about human sexuality have changed significantly but, for the most part, sexual education has not evolved simultaneously, except perhaps in the modernization of the actual materials and literature used to present the substantive information. The writer maintains that what is required is a more comprehensive approach that reflects the realities of all the fundamental issues that arise in connection with human sexuality and behavioral choices associated with it. The writer concludes that a comprehensive sexual education program could radically transform sexual education in American education from a meaningless exercise in student embarrassment and an ineffective presentation of certain useful reproductive health and medical information into a beneficial mechanism for changing specific illogical beliefs and cultural values that undermine human happiness.
Outline:
Introduction
The Insufficiencies of Traditional Sexual Education
Outlining Comprehensive Sexual Education
Teaching Sexual Ethics
Conclusion
From the Paper
"By initiating Sex Ed in middle school, educators have the opportunity to address common cultural attitudes and beliefs about sexuality in principle, thereby providing alternatives to various elements of typical approaches to sexual gratification including objective ethical values, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, safer sex practices, and unplanned pregnancy. Comprehensive Sex Ed would likely require no additional funds or resources except to the extent it requires changing the way educators are trained and replacing old literature with updated teaching texts. The non-printed materials already used in connection with traditional Sex Ed programs is still sufficient for that portion of a comprehensive educational program appropriately devoted to human anatomy and biological reproduction."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and discusses the theories of personality. It focuses on the theories of Albert Camus, Rollo May, Frederick Nietzsche, Erik Erikson, Melanie Klein, Abraham Maslow and Jean Paul Sarte and it breifly describes each theory individually. The paper then combines all the theories to create one comprehensive theory of personality with aspects from each theorist.
From the Paper
"Most of our personality lies in our unconscious, which controls most of our behaviors and ways of responding to environmental factors. When we are first born our basic needs are fulfilled by our parents, and as we grow older we begin to learn to fulfill our own. This is a result of our unconscious driving us and allowing us to do so without much, if any thought. According to Abraham Maslow, only when our basic needs are fulfilled can we begin to think and function at higher levels. (Theories of Personality Lecture Slides, 2009)"

Abstract
This paper explains how Theissen and Merz explore the subject matter of the historical Jesus in light of primary sources, especially relying on the Gospels, both canonical and apocryphal. It discusses the unique style of the layout and sources of the book and provides a critique of its shortcomings.
From the Paper
"The book is divided into four main sections, in addition to a meaty Introduction, a "Retrospect" called "A Short Life of Jesus", and two helpful indexes, one of Biblical References and one of Names and Subjects included in the text. The Historical Jesus, published in North America by Fortress Press, was translated from the original German by John Bowden. A full set of sources and collections of sources is provided by the authors at the beginning of the book; moreover, at the onset of each chapter of the book are blocks of bibliography offering the reader a helpful guide for further research and reading. Therefore, the authors do not follow the traditional arrangement of bibliographical information by providing a set of sources at the end of the book; however, footnotes are frequently used. Furthermore, suggestions for further readings are provided at the end of some of the sections. Following the initial source selection is a comprehensive list of abbreviations used within the text. The Historical Jesus is as comprehensive as its title purports; it is also a well-organized, structured, and straightforward piece of accessible scholarship."

From the Paper
"The Basque nationalist movement is rapidly rising to the top ranks of separatist movements in Europe. However, it is one of the least understood among them. With the peace process in Northern Ireland slowly but steadily taking hold and the situation in the former Yugoslavia shakily maintaining the appearance of being under control, a vacuum has been created for the study of another European nationalism. In conjunction with this vacuum, the most brutal offensive by the Basque terrorist group ETA -Basque Homeland and Liberty- since 1992 has brought the Basque question into the spotlight. While most media sources report on only the current violence conducted by extremists, this paper will explore the various faces of Basque nationalism throughout its history."
