Teen Pregnancy Human Sexuality: Assignment 2 America is a country run by pop culture. We as Consumers react to trends. From the cars we drive to the clothes we wear, we try to model ourselves after the “haves”. We look to the television, the radio, the movies and the magazines for salvation. We are in search of an escape to our everyday lives. The one message that is prevalent in all forms of media today is sex. We cannot leave our homes without having sex shoved in our faces. Even our monuments are phallic symbols. The idea is that cool people have sex and we as Americans want to be cool. We are a far cry from the times when premarital sex meant eternal damnation. Nowadays, we hand out condoms in high school and sex-ed is taught as early as junior high. Sex sells, and the corporate world is turning us into sex craving maniacs in order to turn over a profit. The biggest difference between the US and other developed countries is the way we handle pregnancy. Just like sex sells, it pays to have a kid.
