3 Social Issues (Out of 5 )

Here are some ideas that I have for social issues...

1.)  Texting and Driving:  I'm not sure if this would count as a social issue, but it is something that effects our society in a horrible way.  Careless deaths have happen as a result of texting and driving and it can sometimes be equivalent-if not more so- dangerous than drunk driving.

2.)  Animal Rights:  I understand that animals used to be tested for things like medicine and beauty products etc years ago, because of the fact that there was maybe no other option, however I feel as though there are many more options to choose from in present day.  There are plenty of clothes for example that have faux fur and still looks real.  My point with this one is that there are many other options to choose from for testing other than animals.

3.)  Birth Control:  I went to catholic school for 18 years of my life, and throughout those years I have heard that birth control is wrong for it is the prevention of a human life.  Honestly, I couldn't disagree with these teachings more. At eight-teen years old, I was officially an adult and felt as though they were hiding the truth from us as young adults.
      I understand that it was a catholic school and it was their job as teachers to teach us about abstinence, but what about those who were going to be sexually active before marriage?  They seemed to think it was wrong and because of that lack of awareness, I believe that many teens were misinformed about the realities of the world and then ended up in a bad situation-an unplanned pregnancy before marriage.  You can still learn about birth control and be abstinent at the same time.  It is a choice.  I feel like more catholic schools should be informed of birth control rather than have it looked down upon.  Birth Control is harmless and should be taught about in catholic schools.  Catholic school also teach that abortion is wrong.  Maybe if they taught us about the different options of birth control, then there wouldn't be abortions.
