1. Draw a chart of your life's journey on a bond paper to show incipient moments in your life and where you are right
now in moral development.
Where you are right now in moral development?
The moral development of a person's character will have a significant influence on society. If we fail to teach moral
responsibility to children, they will lack moral and ethical principles. The importance of the early years continues to
be vital to all subsequent development. Self-esteem, self-control, and altruistic action are all part of moral
functioning. Children appear to be developing at a faster pace than earlier generations. If we fail to instill morals
then we may fail to produce children that have the conscience to decide what is right from what is wrong.
And I think today in the 6 stages of moral development, I will say that I belong to conventional morality, which says
that, conventional morality is the second stage of moral development, and is characterized by an acceptance of
social rules concerning right and wrong. At the conventional level (most adolescents and adults), we begin to
internalize the moral standards of valued adult role models. Authority is internalized but not questioned, and
reasoning is based on the norms of the group to which the person belongs.
A social system that stresses the responsibilities of relationships as well as social order is seen as desirable and must,
therefore, influence our view of what is right and wrong. The individual strives to support rules that are set forth by
others such as parents, peers, and the government in order to win their approval or to maintain social order. Which
I, as a daughter, friend, and person living in this country where law should be follow to have a peaceful community.
As a daughter it is important to do what our parents tell us to do because they know exactly what is best for us.
2. What is your stand on premarital sex?
Youths are undergoing fast physical and psychological transformations. They are curious and want to learn about new
things. Despite the fact that youngsters are exposed to a variety of situations such as anxieties, worries, and various
wants, many feel embarrassed to seek counsel and assistance from their parents and elders. Youths and their
communities need to understand reproductive health throughout their lives so that they may make educated decisions
about their reproductive health and sexuality. Premarital sex is when two people start having sexual relations before
being married. Premarital sex has become the norm in today's culture and is widely tolerated. Many young adults are
living together and have sexual relations prior to marriage. It has become clear that an increasing number of people are
engaging in premarital sex and do not recognize that it is immoral conduct. In today's society, sex has become a symbol
of pleasure and is no longer considered sacred. Having sex comes is natural when one is in a relationship or in love.
While, the perception of sex has changed over the years so has the age people are having sex in. In previous centuries,
sex was preserved more often after one was married, however, over the course of years’ premarital sex became more
common. Suddenly numerous individuals began practicing premarital sex not only young adults but, teenagers as well.
I believe sex before marriage should not be accepted and that abstinence should be promoted more, because the main
reason why the populations of teenage pregnancy are increasing it is because of premarital sex, and the deficiency of
knowledge of youths about sex, and premarital sex. And as a result of this a lot of people are having a hard time
supporting their financial needs. Some people tend to have a lot of sex. They say they do it for the satisfaction. They
believe sex is fun. According to God, sex is supposed to be meant for reproduction and love, not for pleasure and lust.
The act of sex is behavior that goes against our faith and beliefs. In the bible it states, “But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burned with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8). This means that God
views the sin of premarital sex as equal to murder, prostitution, and lying. Even though society accepts fornication, it
doesn’t mean God does. Premarital sex, or consensual sexual intercourse between unmarried people, is on the rise
across the world. It is dangerous because most teenagers are unaware of how to prevent sexually transmitted infections
(STIs) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and where to obtain information on reproductive anatomy,
physiology, STIs, and HIV. As a result, individuals are vulnerable to significant issues such as premarital sex and its
repercussions and as well as emotional scar.
Hopefully people will begin to look at everything they can lose from having sex before marriage. The same goes for
those who cannot be monogamous. People should hold themselves to a higher standard. If people had more confidence
I believe that they would feel they needed to have sex to impress people or to make people happy. Sex should be a
result of love and should have more meaning than it does to some people.
The entire point is sex before marriage has consequences. There are many and I’ve only touched based on a few.
