Abstract
This argumentative paper explains the points of view pro and con of distributing condoms in public schools. It explains the needs to prevent STD's and AIDS vs. the possible promotion of sex via the school system.
From the Paper
"Living with the fear of an irresponsible teenager that could become pregnant or acquired a STD is something that too many parents are doing in our times. With the millions that die every year from AIDS alone is enough to scare most parents. That doesn't even include the millions that acquire the hundreds of other STD's that are out there. The problem for the parent is not how to stop and cure these diseases or how to slow society from the skyrocketing amount of teenage pregnancies, but it is how to prevent their children from falling into this. It is common knowledge that the use of condoms greatly prevents or eliminates the spread of diseases and pregnancy. That is not the controversy. The controversy is who becomes responsible for teaching and distributing these much-needed condoms to the unprotected teenagers. By the time a child is in High School the parents have given the school system the right to educate and protect there children for over a decade, there is no need for this to end over something a life protecting as condoms.

From the Paper
"The Los Angeles Unified School District has the right to make condoms available to students as a means of preventing the further spread of HIV/AIDS. They have a constitutional right to do this, they have the right granted by the favorable attitude of the great majority of adults, and they have the right to act to prevent students from perpetuating a serious, deadly public health crisis. Many of those who are opposed to the program argue that it encourages students to have sex or that it grants approval to their behavior. It is true that premature sexual activity among adolescents is a serious social problem. But any responsible person would take both problems into account -- the social problem and the health problem. A responsible condom distribution program would ensure that students received comprehensive education about the dangers and causes of HIV/AIDS..."

Abstract
This paper looks at abstinence programs and the distribution of condoms in schools as ways to prevent teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS. It looks at various opinions on both sides of the argument and comes out in favor of condom distribution because abstinence-only programs do not work.
From the Paper
"There is an ongoing debate about what to teach in sex education in schools and whether to promote abstinence or to distribute condoms. Part of the debate centers around who should be responsible for such decisions, the parents or the teachers. Opinions vary greatly from state to state and from school to school within states. This lack of consensus of opinion makes it harder on students because they do not know whose advice to follow when they hear conflicting sides of the story. The one thing both ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the condom, tracing its roots back to ancient days and covering related topics to present day. It looks at how considering that the first documented condoms were used in ancient Egypt and were made from various animal membranes, the condom industry has certainly come a long way and how most condoms nowadays are made from either latex or polyurethane, are available in all shapes, colors and sizes and are very effective in preventing disease and pregnancy, when used properly. It also discusses the challenges that were presented to condom use along the way.

From the Paper
"While many people believe that condoms are a relatively new form of contraceptive, created not so long ago, this is far from true. Many historians believe that, in ancient Egypt, pharaohs used papyrus reeds to cover their penises during sex. Ancient Roman soldiers are believed to have used dried sheep intestines as condoms, as well (Parisot, 1987, pp. 4-6). In the East, the Chinese used oiled silk paper, and the Japanese had two versions of a condom: the Kawagata, which used thin leather, and Kabutogata, which used thin tortoise shells or horns."

Abstract
Teen pregnancy, AIDS, and other realities of engaging in unprotected sex are a fact of modern life in this society. This paper argues that sex education should be part of the school curriculum, and subjects such as condom advocacy and STDs should be covered. The paper looks at the moral and ethical issues surrounding this topic and examines the role of parents in supplementing sex education.
From the Paper
"The third dilemma when it comes to sex education in the classroom revolves around church and state. There are many religious groups and churches that are adamantly opposed to teaching sex education in the classroom. They protest, write letters, encourage parishioners to remove their children from the schools and use media to garner attention to their cause. The church interference believes that abstinence until marriage is the only acceptable lesson to learn about sex and even that has no place in a classroom. They believe it is something the parents are to teach the children. Those who are against this line of thinking point to the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state."

Abstract
While many people believe that condoms are a relatively new form of contraceptive, created not so long ago, this is far from true. Many historians believe that, in ancient Egypt, pharaohs used papyrus reeds to cover their penises during sex. In the East, the Chinese used oiled silk paper and the Japanese had two versions of a condom. The paper shows that while it is unknown whether condoms in these early days were used more to prevent disease, as contraceptive devices or for ritualistic purposes, we do know that by the 16th century, the emphasis was on the prophylactic function of the condom. Today, condoms have evolved in many ways and are now available and appealing to the mass public. This paper discusses the history of the condom, tracing its roots back to ancient days and covering related topics to present day. It also discusses the challenges that were presented to condom use along the way.
From the Paper
"Five fragments of shaped animal gut were found during the excavation of the garderobe (lavatory) of the keep at Dudley Castle, which had been buried in 1647 (hall, 2001). These prototype condoms (baudruche, french letters, capotes anglaises, and more), both animal and vegetable, were used mainly as prophylactics against sexual disease, although evidence exists that their dual purpose as contraceptives was recognized at this time, as well. It is assumed that these condoms were used to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections during the war between the armies of Oliver Cromwell and soldiers loyal to King Charles I. "

Abstract
This research study investigates single, urban women?s readiness to use condoms and the perceived pros and cons for condom use. The paper also stresses the importance of nursing interventions for HIV prevention and suggests that interventions should focus on women who are in denial or uninterested in condom use to help them accurately assess their risk and consider behavioral changes. The paper also describes interventions that can easily be integrated into routine patient visits. Furthermore, this study attempts to evaluate the effect of childbearing motivation and contraceptive attitudes on consistency of condom use among at-risk women enrolled in an HIV prevention intervention program.
From the Paper
"Single, heterosexual young adult women represent a group increasingly at risk for HIV infection. Condom use remains an important risk reduction behavior. Focusing HIV prevention interventions to only those women ready to use condoms (preparation or action stage) limits the number of women able to be reached. Morrison-Beely and Lewis (2001) suggested that for sexually active single women to use condoms, they need to be moved from precontemplation to contemplation before they will be ready to respond to HIV prevention messages and interventions about condom use. Further, they state that ?Strategies and interventions for condom use in HIV risk reduction should consider not only a woman?s readiness to change, but also the interpersonal and relationship issues linked to a couple?s sexual partnership? (p. 155)."

"Birth Control For Teenagers: Impact on Nursing Practice
Introduction
The delivery of birth control information to teenagers and making contraceptive devices or preparations accessible to teenagers are two related and equally controversial issues in the United States in the 1990s. The increasing prevalence of both teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among teenagers, however, exerts an impact on the practice of nursing regardless of how controversial the issues may be. This research reviews the problems associated with unprotected sexual activity among teenagers as well as the attitudes of teenagers toward the use of condoms, as a means of illustrating the impact of these phenomena on the practice of nursing."

From the Paper
China has become a focal point for foreign investors, especially from the United States. One reason for this is the perception of a potential for incredible growth in a country with such a large and untapped consumer base. This study involves the possibility of introducing a new product into China, specifically condoms, a product that could gain the approval of the Communist Chinese leadership given the desire on their part to control the growth of the population. Investment in China is affected by social, political, and economic issues, and there are vast differences between the United States and China in all these areas which must be considered before any investment is undertaken. These various factors will be considered and analyzed as to how they affect doing business in China and of what they might mean to ... "

Condom Vending Machines, 1999.
A persuasive letter to the editor.

Abstract
This persuasive piece is intended as a persuasive letter to the editor, detailing the case for the introduction of condom vending machines into high schools. It argues that today's youth are sexually active at a much younger age, and they should be practicing safe sex rather than unsafe sex, whether it is approved of or not.
From the Paper
"The recent suggestion made by the Federal Health Minister to introduce condom machines into senior secondary schools has re-ignited a long-standing debate upon the morality of both our youth and today?s society. Opponents have been outraged by the government?s suggestion, however it is important to look at the substance behind their arguments. Are their objections wholly moral and, if so, does this mean we are forced to examine society?s current morals? Are their arguments logical and substantiated, taking into account the facts relevant to ?Generation X?? Or is their stance outdated; children of a ?more civilised? generation taking their expired and antiquated morals into adulthood with them?"

" The Condom Industry
The history of condoms goes back four centuries to when physicians first fashioned condoms out of sheep-gut (Approval, 1992). While animal skin condoms are still commercially available today, their use has largely been displaced by products made of latex (Condoms, 1990, p. 18). Originally, the condom was designed for birth control (Willis, 1990, p. 32). More recently, however, the medical device is being used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STD) (p. 32). Of course, the only sure ways to avoid these diseases are either to not have sex at all or to limit sex to one uninfected partner who is also monogamous (Baulieu et al., 1993, p. 101). Short of this though, condoms--while not 100% effective--may reduce the risk of STDs if properly used (Willis, 1990, p. 32). This fact, coupled with the fear of.."
