What's in the Meat

The thing that really stood out to me in chapter nine was how many of us including myself never think about what could happen to us while eating a simple hamburger. It broke my heart to read about Alex, a six year old boy who passed away from eating a tainted hamburger. It's amazing how people who work in slaughter houses or meat packing plants don't really use their head when handling food that they know feeds millions of people.

Summary of Research

From my research I have found numerous statistics that show how teenage pregnancy has become overwhelmingly popular in today's generation. Society has changed the views of how both parents and kids see early motherhood. Young men even have continued to not realize what unprotected sex can lead to. The majority of the information I have focused on shows how society, media, and education has effected the over population of teenage pregnancy.

1.Ohio State University; TV drama can be more persuasive than news program, study finds

those who watched a news program detailing the difficulties caused by teen pregnancies were unmoved, and had no change in their intentions to use birth control. The results show the power that narratives like TV shows can have in influencing people, said Emily Moyer-Guse, co-author of the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State University.

2. Teen Pregnancy: An American Dilemma

http://www.virginia.edu/marriageproject/pdfs/print_teenpregnancy.pdf

Throughout the history of the world, until the modern era, teen pregnancies were the norm. When a young girl became sexually mature she was married off and soon accomplished that for which she is biologically designed, giving birth to the next generation. Teen pregnancies

are still the norm in much of the developing world. Each child born to a young girl normally is considered a blessing.

3. TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION THROUGH EDUCATION

http://www.csus.edu/calst/Government_Affairs/reports/Teen_Pregnancy_Prevention_Through_Education.pdf

The issue of how to prevent teenage pregnancy revolves around what factors are identified as the causative influences. Some researchers regard prevention programs, regardless of how well thought out and implemented, as doomed, because the issue of teenage pregnancy involves

the social whole.

4. Reducing Teen Pregnancy: Adolescent Family Life and Abstinence Education Programs

http://www.law.umaryland.edu/marshall/crsreports/crsdocuments/RS2087310042004.pdf

In 2003, 47% of students in grades 9-12 reported that they had experienced sexual intercourse; about 20% of female teens who have had sexual intercourse become pregnant each year. In recognition of the often negative, long-term consequences

associated with teenage pregnancy, Congress has provided funding for the prevention of teenage and out-of-wedlock pregnancies. This report discusses two programs that exclusively attempt to reduce teenage pregnancy. The Adolescent Family Life (AFL)

demonstration program was enacted in 1981 as Title XX of the Public Health Service Act, and the Abstinence Education program was enacted in 1996 as part of the welfare reform legislation. This report will be updated as new information becomes available.

5. Could Hollywood trick you into getting pregnant?

Seventeen Magazine, April 2010 Issue by Marina Khidekel

Teen sex or pregnancy are all over the TV and movies-but do they tell the real story? Or do they plant a dangerous seed that could change your life in an instant. This article tells the story of four young women who have experienced teen births. Also, it tells the story of actress Shailene Woodley, the star of The Secret Life of an American Teenager, tells her story of what it's like to play an all american teen who becomes pregnant.

6. Subsequent Pregnancies and Births Among Adolescent Mothers

The likelihood that a teen mother will finish high school, break the cycle of welfare dependency, and rise above her social standing, all diminish rapidly with the arrival of each succeeding infant. *

Pregnant Nation: Game Plan

Pregnant Nation: The Indescribable Era of Teenage Pregnancy

My main topic will be teenage pregnancy and how it has become a rising concern among the United States. As well as showing how the media has truly influenced this rise in pregnancy.

I decided to take on the position of writing from my own angle of what I believed was a major concern and new fad among teenagers. Using prompt number one I will show how the birth rate among American teens has sky rocketed over the pat few year, as well as how it has become a new fad among girls to become pregnant. I believe this was the best option for me because I enjoy writing my opinion as well as showing the facts about how this growth is changing the outlook of parenthood and how teens view one another. During this paper I would like to show how the media has influenced this growth with television shows such as 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, and The Pregnancy Pact. Also I would like to show the difficulty in getting birth control. Ultimately I would like to show how the birth rate in America is the highest its ever been.

            My audience will most likely be teenagers and young adults. I would like to show them how even though the media hypes up pregnancy it’s nothing to toy around with. Also I would like to adhere to parents and school’s to begin educating children about sex and about contraception. In order to support my thesis I would like to use news articles and media resources to provide a clear understanding of how this outbreak is turning into a crisis. Also, I would like to use the different modes such as, illustration and cause and effect. So far I have begun to use a database finding different facts about pregnancy and even a personal story from a teen mom. I would like to begin finding more recent news articles giving more details of teen pregnancy and the effect it has had on girls. I would also like to find more personal stories from other moms that would encourage girls to wait to get pregnant, or at least be protected when having sex.  

Topic change: Abstracts

1.Rise in US teen pregnancies and births is "deeply troubling"

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=4&did=1974752101&SrchMode=2&sid=1&Fmt=2&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270480114&clientId=4130

After a decade of decline, rates of pregnancy, birth, and abortion among US women aged 15 to 19 years rose in 2006, the most recent year for which data are available. The figures are given in a report from the independent Guttmacher Institute in New York, which used data from the US National Center for Health Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Census Bureau, and its own data on abortions. The institute attributed the rise in pregnancies, births, and abortions to the "abstinence only" sex education policy promoted by the administration of George W Bush, who left office in Jan 2009.

2.The Truth about Teenaged Parents

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=0&did=1955683361&SrchMode=2&sid=6&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270480403&clientId=4130

If you think teen parents all come from broken homes or low-income neighborhoods, think again. A survey by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy finds that teen parents represent every socioeconomic and demographic category: 41% of US teen parents come from homes at or above 200% of the federal poverty line, and 70% were raised in two-parent homes. The majority of Americans think teen pregnancy is some other group's problem, that it appears to be poor people and girls from single-parent homes. While they are disproportionally represented, the highest numbers are not from those groups, says Bill Albert, campaign spokesman.

3.THE TOUGH LIFE OF A TEEN MOM

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=6&did=1926317681&SrchMode=1&sid=10&Fmt=2&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270480584&clientId=4130

With the big drop in teen births over the past decade and a half, the US still has the highest teen birth rate in the industrialized world. Teens who become mothers are more likely to experience poverty than those who wait until they're older to have children. A story of Jesseca Heatherly, a teen mom, is presented. Heatherly is working hard to do her best for herself and her daughter. Drawing her experience, she advises teens to wait until they are older to have children.

4.THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF INTENDED PREGNANCIES: YOUTH, CONDOM USE, AND HIV TRANSMISSION IN MOZAMBIQUE

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=8&did=1615015351&SrchMode=2&sid=16&Fmt=4&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270480796&clientId=4130

Although unwanted pregnancies can cause social and economic problems for Sub-Saharan African youth, the consequences of intended adolescent pregnancies have gone unnoticed. Rarely do studies recognize that youth who desire a pregnancy are less likely to practice safe sex and, therefore, are at greater risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. This study uses data from the 2003 Mozambique Demographic and Health Survey to explore youth fertility desires and condom use. In multivariate analyses, controlling for other factors associated with condom use, female youth who want to get pregnant soon are significantly less likely (odds ratio: 0.35; 95% confidence interval: 0.22-0.55) to use condoms with nonmarital partners than youth who want to delay childbearing. Programs for sexually active youth should recognize the importance of fertility desires as a potential moderator of condom use, even if the woman is at risk of HIV or STI. Recommendations are provided for HIV prevention counseling for youth who want to get pregnant and youth who are ambivalent about a future pregnancy.

5.Contraception and Adolescents

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=21&did=1380681401&SrchMode=2&sid=17&Fmt=2&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270480874&clientId=4130

Although adolescent pregnancy rates in the United States have decreased significantly over the past decade, births to adolescents remain both an individual and public health issue. As advocates for the health and well-being of all young people, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports the recommendation that adolescents postpone consensual sexual activity until they are fully ready for the emotional, physical, and financial consequences of sex. The academy recognizes, however, that some young people will choose not to postpone sexual activity, and as health care providers, the responsibility of pediatricians includes helping teens reduce risks and negative health consequences associated with adolescent sexual behaviors, including unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. This policy statement provides the pediatrician with updated information on contraception methods and guidelines for counseling adolescents.

6.Study Finds Teen Pregnancies on the Rise; "U.S. Teenage Pregnancies, Births and Abortions: National and State Trends and Trends by Race and Ethnicity" and "Diploma Attainment Among Teen Mothers"

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=1&did=1962603801&SrchMode=2&sid=19&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270481010&clientId=4130

After declining or leveling off for 15 years, the pregnancy rate among U.S. teenagers rose again in 2006, a report published last week by the Guttmacher Institute says.

7.BIOBEHAVIOURAL AND COGNITIVE DETERMINANTS OF ADOLESCENT GIRLS' INVOLVEMENT IN SEXUAL RISK BEHAVIOURS: A TEST OF THREE THEORETICAL MODELS

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=9&did=730774451&SrchMode=2&sid=20&Fmt=4&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270481055&clientId=4130

The observed increase in teenage pregnancy rates and sexually transmitted infection (STI) in adolescents in Quebec indicates a need to examine causes and prevention of sexual risk behaviours in this age group. This study uses two theoretical frameworks (the Theory of Reasoned Action and Problem Behavior Theory) combined with the basic framework of the Theory of Reproductive Development to identify variables predicting two specific behaviours related to teen pregnancy and reproductive health: (1) age at first intercourse, and (2) consistency of condom use. Two cohorts of girls (N = 407, aged 12 to 17 years) were included in three specific periods of data collection from 1995 to 1997. Sequential Logistic Regression Analyses were performed to test the two theoretical frameworks separately for each outcome. The results show that age at first sexual intercourse and the consistency of condom use are predicted by different sets of variables, suggesting that these behaviours may have different meanings and/or importance for adolescents. The Theory of Reasoned Action combined model appears to be a better predictor of the two target behaviours.

8.American birthrate rises

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=12&did=53386933&SrchMode=2&sid=21&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270481155&clientId=4130

According to a recent report, an increase in the number of women entering their prime childbearing years has led to an increase in the birthrate--as well as a record number of so-called "unwed births." The most positive trend reported in the study is the continued decline in the teen birthrate, which fell for the seventh year in a row.

9.CDC Reports Rise In Teen Pregnancy, STD Rates

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=3&did=1798930821&SrchMode=2&sid=25&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270481300&clientId=4130

Among teenagers the rates for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are going up. Prevention messages don't seem to be getting through to young people. The statistics raise questions about the approaches used to keep teens from engaging in risky sexual behavior. NPR's Brenda Wilson reports.

10.Rural Mothers' Experiences and Perceptions of Their Role in Pregnancy Prevention for Their Adolescent Daughters

http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=0&did=1961137221&SrchMode=1&sid=27&Fmt=2&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1270481353&clientId=4130

Noone and Young explore rural mothers' experiences and perceptions of their role in talking with daughters about pregnancy prevention. Barriers and facilitators to communications included characteristics and behaviors of the daughter and the mother as well as contextual issues related to the topic and the environment. Specific strategies mothers used were grouped into the categories of timing, introducing the topic, the mother's approach, and using teaching opportunities. The message content and the way it is conveyed are shaped by barriers, facilitators, and contextual influences to communication. These aspects need to be considered in the design of interventions aimed at helping parents communicate with adolescents about sexuality and pregnancy prevention.
