Artificial Respiration is a Technique for Rescue Breathing

Published on HealthMad, Feb 20, 2011 Category – Health

Artificial respiration is defined as the act of assisting or stimulating respiration – a metabolic process referring to the overall exchange of gases in the body by pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, and internal respiration. This is use for a person who has ceased due to choking and electric shock.

If a person chokes on food or other objects and stops breathing – artificial respiration can be applied to save him. A rescuer should wipe out any fluid vomits, mucus or other objects from the mouth with fingers and he should be certain to reach into the throat with a finger or fingers to remove any object blocking the throat and he should remove clothing to expose the chest.

If the person has stopped breathing due to an electric shock – a rescuer should first find the electric source and switch off current by using non-conductive articles like a dry broom handle or dry rope before removing casualty from contact and start giving rescue breathing.

Artificial respiration should be given as first aid to the victims following some simple steps:

• Place the person on his back.
• Place hand or soft object under neck.
• Keep the head tilted back as far as possible.
• Grasp the angles of the jaw below the ears and lift the jaw so that it just forward. This will keep the tongue away from the back of the throat – so that air can get in.
• Pinch nose with your fingers and blow breath into mouth with smooth, steady action until the chest is felt of seen to rise.
• Remove your mouth. Allow lungs to empty. This action should be repeated at the normal breathing rate – example: 12-15 times a minute. The purpose is to make the chest move as it would normally.
• Lastly, contact physician or arrange for emergency medical care.

Artificial Respiration also can be applied when a person has stopped breathing from drowning or from other causes like heart arrest or cardiac arrest as a first aid. But a rescuer should not panic while he is giving rescue breathing to the victim. 

Does The Holy Bible is Keeping False Records--how to Convert Degrees to Minutes

Image via Wikipedia

Published on Relijournal, Feb 20, 2011 Category - Religion

A day is equivalent to 360 degrees. Twenty-four hour is equivalent to 1,440 minutes. From these equivalents, we will determine how true that there was really a missing day in the Universe since it was believed that it was only a fictitious story.

If it was a fictitious story – does it mean the Holy Bible is keeping false records of what happened during the biblical period especially during the period of the Prophets.

If the story written in the Holy Bible is not really true – why until now nobody deleted it especially those sections about Joshua and 2Kings.

If you read the Holy Bible – you might already read this section that tells “The sun stood still and the moon stayed — and hasted not to go down about a whole day”. It can be read at (Old Testament, Book of Joshua, Chapter 10, verses 12-13) and that whole day is equivalent to 350 degrees.

While in 2Kings, Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said “Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?” Hezekiah said “It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.” Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD!

Now the conversion: At Joshua the sun hasted not to go down about a whole day which equals to 350 degrees or equivalent to 23 hours and 20 minutes. At 2Kings, the shadow of the sun returned backward 10 degrees or equivalent of 40 minutes. So if we will add – 350 degrees + 10 degrees, the sum is 360 degrees or a whole day.

Based from the given - One degree = 4 minutes. If we will multiply 360 degrees by 4 minutes, it is equals to 1,440 minutes. If we will divide the 1,440 minutes by 60 minutes, it is equals to 24 hours.

At Joshua which was 350 degrees multiplied by 4 minutes is equals to 1,400 minutes. At 2Kings which was 10 degrees multiplied by 4 minutes is equals to 40 minutes. 1,400 minutes plus 40 minutes is equals to 1,440 minutes. Are you still doubtful about the Bible records?

 

What to Do When There is Heart Arrest in Your Household

Image via Wikipedia

Published on HealthMad, Feb 19, 2011 Category – Conditions and Diseases

Heart arrest which is also known as circulatory arrest is different from heart attack. It is the cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the heart to contract effectively. While Heart attack is the interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart, causing heart cells to die. Heart arrest is already common nowadays even young children have already experiencing this illness.

Arrested blood circulation prevents delivery of oxygen to the body. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness, which then results in abnormal or absent breathing. If heart arrest goes untreated for more than five minutes, it will result brain injury and may lead to death.

If there is heart arrest in your household – avoid panicking. Calm down and relax. The first thing what you would do is (1) Call or summon a medical person/officer as soon as possible in every case, (2) Feel pulse of the person, listen for heartbeat with ear against chest, (3) If no heartbeat is heard, start Heart-Lung Resuscitation.

Under Heart-Lung Resuscitation – here you are providing the first aid to the person while waiting for the rescuer or the medical team. You would do the following to the person with heart arrest:

1. Place the person on his back on a firm surface. Extend his head backwards so his chin points straight upwards.
2. Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest over the lower one-half of the breastbone and place the heel of the other hand on top of it. The fingers must be lifted so they do not touch the ribs. Pressure on ribs may break them.
3. Rock forward and use the weight of your body to press the breastbone vertically downward 1 to 2 inches. This compresses the heart between breastbone and backbone and propels blood out of the heart into the lungs and body.
4. Release the pressure for just as long as you pressed. The chest will expand and the heart will fill with blood. Repeat this pressure once every second.
5. Other household member should give Rescue Breathing – by blowing a breath in once between each 5 to 8 compressions of the heart with the least possible pause in heart compressions.
6. If there is another household member present, he should help also inflating the lungs with two or three quick breaths after 10 to 15 heart compressions.

If you are alone rescuing the person – just relax, give the best help you can give to him until the medical team arrive following the first six aid mentioned above or bring him to the nearest hospital.

 

How to Create a Simple But an Awesome Resume

Published on Socyberty, Feb 17, 2011 Category – Work

A resume is short and directs a reader’s attention to the aspects of a person’s background that are directly relevant to a particular position.

It is a marketing tool in which the content should be adapted to suit each individual job application or applications aimed at a particular industry like what you will read from those links: my profile and ang manlilikha.

A simple resume is a summary typically limited to one or two pages of size A4 or Letter-size highlighting only those experiences and credentials that the applicant considers most relevant to the desired position.

A simple resume should include the following:

(1) Name, location and availability

(2) Personal data that includes your age, date of birth, gender, civil status, height, weight, nationality, religion and permanent address or home of record.

(3) Work experiences that includes the following: Duration, Company/Industry, Location, Department and Job Descriptions.

(4) Education

(5) Skills

(6) Training and Seminars attended

(7) Languages spoken

(8) References

(9) Expected Salary

Read my other article on Personality Test.

Simplicity is beauty. Avoid creating a resume with full of colorful graphics. Just write it in a black and white A4 or a Letter-size paper with your own photo attached on it.

The Life of Chewing Gum is History

Image via Wikipedia

Published on Bizcovering, Feb 14, 2011 Category – Business

Chewing gum has existed since the Neolithic period. A 5,000 year old chewing gum with tooth imprints, which was made of birch bark tar has been found in Kierikki, Yli-Ii, Findland. The bark tar of which the gums were made is believed to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal advantages. The ancient Aztecs used chicle as a base for making a gum-like substance.

Chewing gum is as old as the Neolithic Age also known as New Stone Age – which was a period in the development of human technology. The Neolithic is defined as a suite of behavioral and cultural characteristics, including the use of wild and domestic crops and the use of domesticated animals.

Chewing gum is traditionally made of chicle, a natural latex product, or synthetic rubber known as pollyisobutylene, which is a non-vulcanisable form of the butyl rubber used for inner tubes or to line tubeless tires. For reasons of economy and quality, many modern chewing gums use rubber instead of chicle. Other forms of chewing gums were made from the resin of the mastic tree, plants, grasses, resins, the sap of spruce trees and from paraffin wax.

Mostly of the people love chewing gums. But in 1992, chewing gum was banned in Singapore in spite of it can be a potential alternative drug delivery option though it was ignored for the following reasons:

(1) people disposed of gum incorrectly by sticking them under places like chairs or tables, (2) it causes serious maintenance problems in high-rise public housing flats, (3) vandals disposing of spent gum in mailboxes, (4) disposed inside keyholes and elevator buttons, (5) left on floors, stairways and pavements in public areas and (6) left on the seats of public buses.

 

How to Plotting Your Story--part Three

Image by Kristin Roach via Flickr

Published on Writinghood, Feb 12, 2011 Category – How To

A good way of dreaming up plots is to look at proverbs and well known sayings and investigate what associations they spark in your mind.

Readers want to be taken out of themselves for a few minutes, whisked off to a world where exciting and intriguing things happen. They want their fiction to be different – more Technicolor than real life. They read to escape drudgery and dullness, so always try for setting and plots that break away from the commonplace and mundane.

The plot is the most important factor in a short story and nothing – but nothing should hold it up or challenge it for the reader’s attention. See also if you can have a circular or return ticket plotline where the story brings you back to the point at which the narrative started.

Also readers can get enough depression at home with red bills, ringing phones, noisy neighbors, demanding kids and grumpy spouses. They don’t need or want to read a depressing tale, so make your stories light, positive and up-beat.

Another way of plotting is the shaggy dog story. The writer builds up conflict, piles on suspense and then unexpectedly produces a comic punch line. Always try to deal with topics in a way that leaves the reader feeling uplifted and full of hope.

Have storylines that show characters taking charge of their own destiny and standing up for themselves. There is no such thing as an original plotline so it’s important that you find a new treatment that will make a storyline crackle with originality.

Click to read part One and part Two.

Keep the reader guessing. The more choices your hero has, the less predictable the storyline becomes. And having a simple theme to your story is great but don’t set out to give it a moral. You’ll end up a sermon or a piece of propaganda!

 

How to Plotting Your Story--part Two

Published on Socyberty, Feb 12, 2011 Category – Psychology

It is important to realize that there is no right or wrong way to plot a story – just different ways. As long as your tale holds the reader’s attention, entertains and delights, then the method you use to achieve this end is as valid and effective as anyone else’s.

Some people do all the hard work in their heads, mulling over ideas, developing them, trying out different permutations until they come up with a workable storyline and then rush to write them as swiftly as possible.

To add the flavor a story should show conflict which is about anything or anyone that upsets the smooth-running of your main character’s life. It can be internal such as a crisis of faith, a fear to be overcome or a problem created by a flaw in the character’s own personality.

Good drama looks at what happens when the extraordinary occurs. It shows how people react unusual and unexpected circumstances. Aim for a nail-biting finish. Keep the reader holding his breath until the last word.

The more you place your hero in jeopardy the stronger the tension. Tingling anticipation and dread will hold readers glued.

 

How to Plotting Your Story--part One

Image via Wikipedia

Published on Writinghood, Feb 12, 2011 Category - Writing

Plotting your story either it is fiction or non-fiction is simple and easy to follow. To qualify as a story there must be incidents: a chain of events. There must be a crisis to be resolved; action to follow. There must be a plot.

Here are some good points to consider when plotting your story.

The majority of stories by new writers fail because they don’t have enough plot or a plot that is not strong enough to sustain interest. Sometimes, writers will have the beginning of a plot. Their character faces a problem but it is trivial and quickly overcome. There is no drama.

To hold the reader’s attention your hero must face a crisis or dilemma that demands his immediate and full attention. Overcoming it should be tricky or awkward. Not overcoming it will have serious repercussions. There is a strong likelihood he will fail. And the solution he devices has to be unexpected and ingenious.

A common error is to confuse the basic set-up of the story – the opening crisis or situation – with the plot. The plot is what happens from there – how the events unfold.

A good basic structure looks like this: (1) Introduction – main character faces a worrying conflict/problem/dilemma, (2) Middle – in flashback we learn of the background and events that led up to the conflict and (3) Ending – the conflict is satisfactorily resolved.

Another workable structure is to have a hero who has a goal he desperately needs to achieve – and then put obstacles in his way.

Where to Find Ideas for Articles for Awesome Blogging and Online Income

Cover via Amazon

Published on Writinghood, Feb 12, 2011 Category – Online Writing

Some of us would not admit to the silly, sad, quirky and downright worrying things that suddenly appeal to our imaginations and make them rush to put down a story article on paper because we always thought that by doing it is weirdness – without realizing that if we can think up two, three, six or more article ideas a day – they are as likely to share that solid-gold secret as a guaranteed system for attracting more traffics and views.

Some of us are asking Where do you get your article ideas rather than How do you think up article ideas, the person quizzing us is implying that there is a shop somewhere – known only to professional article writers – where we go to get ideas for articles.

The truth is that article writers don’t need an idea shop. They are constantly churning over snippets of ideas in their heads, slotting together random thoughts and seeing what gels into the beginning of an article. They keep their eyes and ears open.

Observation is the key. Don’t let ourselves become so hassled that we don’t have time to look around. Article ideas are all around us. We just need to stop and watch. By recording things that we see around us improves our observational skills. So stop, watch, record and think.

Here are some top ten tips for our article ideas:

1. What if? – Here we must imagine a world where everything we know gets turned on it head. What if there was a place where children hated ice cream but loved vegetables. What if animals could talk as fluently as the same the language that people use?
2. Talking Pictures – grab a bundle of old magazines. Cut out any pictures that take your fancy. Stick them in a drawer. When you look at them months later – out of context – you will be astounded by the ideas they spark.
3. Holy Smoke – people have been raiding the Bible for story ideas for more than 2,000 years – why stop now? Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark. There is not copyright on it.
4. Once Upon a Time – there is no copyright on fairy tales. Imagine the fun you can have sticking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into fiction setting – maybe she’s an astronaut and the dwarfs are aliens.
5. Read All About It – the newspapers are packed with story ideas – hidden away in the quirky fillers at the bottom of the page. A quick scan of one day’s papers should provide us with enough ideas to write.
6. Scribbles – jotting down a line or two when we see or hear something that tickles our imagination while we are out and about. Then when we need to write a story article – we will have a fund of potential ideas.
7. Funny Titles – when we are out and about or when we are alone sitting down on our favorite chair, we sometimes spotted ourselves laughing – usually it is happening when we are thinking event happened from the past or an event happened just recently. They are mine of ideas too.
8. Bard Luck – Shakespeare can be another great source of ideas. Sometimes you have to take time to read Shakespeare writings.
9. All The Pun of The Fair – we can also get a quirky new article idea from playing about with puns – about the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning.
10. Nick, Nick – I am not advocating plagiarism. I don’t suggest that we will go round stealing other people’s articles and stories but we can come up with fresh ideas using published works as inspiration. We can also borrow from ourselves. If we are lucky enough to have several published articles under our belts we can go back and look at them and rewrite them.

 

Oh Cupid--is It Really Love You Bring

Published on Socyberty, Feb 10, 2011 Category – Holidays

There are more than eight millions Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) also called Over Financially Worried scattered around the world seeking for greener pastures.

Working abroad is an ally for those who are fortunate enough to have good jobs and considerable employers. Through their earnings, they were able to build a house and able to send their children to school. However, it becomes a foe for the sexually abused and maltreated domestic helpers. But despite all this, the overseas contract workers are patiently working hard because it is for love for their families and country.

Nguni’t napakasakit isipin at mahirap tanggapin sa kalooban na ang isang OFW ay malalagutan ng kaniyang hininga sa malayong karagatan at uuwi lulan sa isang kahon na isa nang malamig na bangkay. Katulad sa mahal kong tiyuhin - he died 6 days before Valentine’s day.

His name was Victor Lizardo – married with two loving children. He has been working for more than 20 years as an accountant. He was the person I admired most. I even considered him as my own father. He was the one who helped me got the job as an account analyst with the same company he was working.

But last year, on February 8, 2010, he died by heart stroke in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Pakiramdam ko po that time may nakakalso sa aking lalamunan dahil sa sobrang pagkabigla sa natanggap kong text messages from my wife na nagsasabing “Dido na si Uncle Vic”. Ang daming maibabalita bakit patungkol pa sa kamatayan ng isang taong nagmahal, nagpahalaga sa buhay at kinabukasan ko. Unfair yata si Cupid. Maaga niyang pinana ang tiyo ko.

This is one of the many faces of being an OFW. When Uncle Vic left his family and country, he departed with tears falling down from his eyes. And when he went back to his family and to his beloved country – he was already a frozen dead man – na sinalubong ng katakot-takot na luha ng kaniyang pamilya. 

How many more OFWs will die in foreign lands in exchange of good life and a prosperous future for their extended families?

Each paying site has its own policy to follow when submitting articles. From my experiences with those paying sites including Triond, I found the following reasons why an article is declined or rejected.

(1) Some of the paying sites do not accept articles which are not written on fact-based information. The articles must be based on documented facts and available research. Some of the paying sites do not accept personal views or opinions on issues also - your articles must be based on fact and information.

(2) Your article title should include some SEO (Search Engine Optimization) keywords. You must submit a title that includes at least two SEO keywords. SEO keywords are specific, non-general terms that highlight specific information within your article that are likely search terms people would use.

(3) Some paying sites do not accept articles with ambiguous title. Your article title must clearly and specifically convey the topic and content of your article. Titles posed as teasers or ambiguous questions are not acceptable.

(4) Some paying sites also don’t accept articles with overly personal tone in title or body. The article must be written in a neutral and non-personal tone. The use of first-person I, ’me’ or My is not acceptable. The use of exclamation points in titles is also not acceptable.

(5) Some of the paying sites do not accept duplicated content. They only publish original material that has not been published elsewhere on the Web. Repeated submissions of duplicated materials is not allowed and sometimes will result in account suspension or deletion.

(6) Some of the paying sites do not accept articles with promotional links. Promotional links are not allowed in the body of your articles.

How True Anyone Can Speak English Like Native Without Thinking

Image via Wikipedia

Published on Writinghood, Feb 9, 2011 Category – Style

Imagine speaking English automatically without thinking. The words come out of your mouth easily and fast. You understand instantly. To do this, you must change the way you study English. Your first action is to stop studying English words and English grammar.

Anyone who wants to speak English like a Native speaker – according to those articles found on those links: facebooktopic, justsomelyrics.com and kirstenwinkler.com, he should Stop studying English words and Grammar and he should put away his text books and grammar books as well.

I understand that speaking is different from writing. After a person has spoken a word, he cannot edit it anymore like in writing. In writing, if he wrote a wrong choice of word or error in spelling – he can go back to correct them.

And to speak English like a native without thinking the words and the right grammar is something amusing. And maybe many people might not agree with this method, especially for the English Teachers around the world who have been teaching traditional English method for the rest of their lives.

I still remember. During my elementary, high school and college days, we were obliged to memorize English words and English grammar in our English subject. We were taught that before speaking, we have to think many times for the right word to say.

That was three decades ago, now the world is moving with high technology and there are hundred and even thousands of researchers who are working together in searching and experimenting interesting things to enhancing and to improving the quality of education of our children and people in general.

Anyway, nothing to lose here, if it works adapt it. If not go back to text books and grammar books!

When my father was still alive, he often told me these things: When you fall down, don’t look at the place where you fell but look back and find the cause of your fall.

Tunay na likas sa tao ang matakot
Na mabigo at ito’y magdudulot ng kirot
Damdaming hadlang sa pangarap na ibig maabot
Isang kahinaan na magbubunga ng lungkot…

Ang iba’y nais na lamang yakapin ang isang sulok
Hahayaan na masugatan ang puso sa pag-iyak
At iibigin na lamang na sa kristal na luha’y maligo
Dahil sa takot na masaktan at mabigo…

Tayo ay bunga ng mapagpalang pag-ibig
Taglay natin ang tapang at matibay na dibdib
Sandatang panlaban sa anumang pagsabak
Nguni’t pinanghinaan at pinabayaang magapi’t malupig…

Ang mabigo ay bahagi ng ating buhay
Mapait na katotohanan at puno ng lumbay
Sakit na magpapabago ng ating pagkatao’t paniniwala
At kapag minalas maagang maghahatid sa atin kay Bathala…

Hahayaan ba nating madaig nitong salot
Na hindi lalaban sa sobrang takot?
Hanggang sa madurog ang pakpak ng pangarap
Pati mga buto nati’y magkadurog-durog?

Pakinggan natin ang langitngit ng kawayan
Sila’y umaawit na puno ng kasiyahan
Sa tuwing hahampasin ng hanging Amihan
Sila’y dadapa sa tuwa’t babangon muli na nakangiti…

Ang mabigo ay hindi dapat katakutan
Harapin natin itong walang pag-aalinlangan
Tanggalin ang takot sa puso’t isipan
Mga kapaitan sa buhay ay tiyak malalampasan!

 

Sex Education for Children, Teenagers and Even Adults--part Five

Sex education should be taught with values and virtues – needed to reduce premarital sex, early marriages and moral depravity. The youth should be trained to become responsible and morally upright citizens.

Sex education should be taught to our children with values and virtues. Under values we have ethical and moral, doctrinal and ideological, social and aesthetic values. These values are typically been studied in sociology, anthropology, social psychology, moral philosophy and business ethics.

Ethical and Moral values address questions about morality and the concepts of good and evil or the right and wrong.

Doctrinal and Ideological address about religious and political values.

Social values address about social norms or behaviors and cues within a society or group.

Aesthetic values address about the nature of beauty, art, taste, and with the creation and appreciation of beauty.

Children and youths should be taught how to cultivate values and how to admire them. All these should be integrated with sex education - to help them appreciate the beauty of sex as a gift of God to mankind in the context of marriage not from what they discovered from pornographic magazines and video shows.

I believe that the best teachers ever produced in the world to teach the offspring are the parents either they are biological parents or an adoptive parent. The parents should be the first to draw the actions to teach the children about life and their sexuality and it will start at home.

I don’t understand and maybe I will not accept it also when parents find it hard to explain sex to their children when they begin asking questions. Mostly of the time parents often let their children learn about it by themselves. If the parents detest doing their part  in their children exploration for such a delicate matter their friends might feed the meaningless with complication and possible undesired conclusion.

Sex here is not only about sexual act. It regards also about all the aspects of life and its existence as a human being. Sometimes parents forgot that they are the first people in the world to cherish their children that moments they arrived in their lives.

When our first child arrived, I was also inside the delivery room when my beloved wife had labored for our first baby girl. I saw where the child came out. I heard her first cry and I was the first to kiss her pool of blood before her mother. I was the one who brought her to the lavatory where she had got her first bath. I saw how the nurse cut off her umbilical cord. And when our child made her first junk, I was the first to clean it.

To sum up it all, it is the parents who really know better about their children than any other people in the world. It is the parents who know better what their children wants, likes and dislikes. There are many ways to tell and to teach our children if we, parents really are willing to teach them.

Should we wait our children coming home with a bold magazine, CD and DVD from their peers and open it to us and tell us that this is the way you made us Daddy and Mommy?

I consider High School as the most interesting phase of school life. On this stage new things and experiences are to be explored and to be enjoyed by young students. Also on this stage is the hot point for them to start to attract the opposite sexes.

I still remember my favorite subject. It was biology that include the parts and functions of the human body. I learned from that subject that our red blood cell is formed of molecules. If we saw it by our human eyes they are conjoined but if we will see it through a microscope the molecules of our blood are not hooked up as one. We also used the microscope to know how our semen looks like. We also learned that if we saw it by our human eyes they are the same as our red blood cell joined together but if we will see them through the power of microscope its molecules have its own space moving and stretching around.

And we also studied the five sense organs. We considered them as the most interesting part of our biology subject. Everybody in the classroom behaved while listening to our mentor, who was at that time a lady teacher. We jotted down all what she taught to us.

We have learned about the power of our eyes for sight or vision. Many poets described them as the gates for our souls but for me I described them as the gates for our sins. Our eyes are the first to see and perceive what we see before sending them into our mind or brain. It is now the job of our brain to describe and to figure out what our eyes have seen. If our brain is full of humor, it can describe that particular thing or incident in a very colorful and lively conception.

Then we discussed about the power of our ears for hearing or audition. We learned that our ears are responsible to detect the vibrations of any sound through an avenue such air. If we will see the anatomy of our ear, inside it is a section responsible to ascertain the mechanical motion and other vibrations before sending them to our brain.

Then our study was followed about the power of our tongue for taste and the power of our mouth to bite, to eat, to drink and to speak. We learned that it is the responsible of our tongue to identify and to differentiate sweet from salty, sour from bitter taste. Many scholars considered our mouth and tongue as the most dirtiest human body parts when it come to speak languages – they believed that the most dirtiest languages spoken by a person are perceived from the power of our mouth and tongue.

We also discussed about the power of our nose for smell. We learned that it is the responsible of our nose to detect the different types of odors from sweat, pungent odor from a stagnant water, odor from our armpits, odor from a decaying animals. Our nose can also identify sweet, salty, sour and bitter. And our nose is often used in the school of kindergarten as a subject for a puzzle question like – 1+1=2, 2+2=4, what is my nose for? The kindergarten pupils will answer “To smell Ma’am”.

Then followed the sense of touch. We learned from our discussion that our hands and fingers are not only the responsible for this sense. We can also use our tongue, mouth, skin, nails and hair for this sense of touch.

These five sense organs are our physiological capacities that provide inputs for perception and they are useful for our sex life and education.

Some people said that SEX is the ultimate expression of love and no amount of education could change a person’s sexual behavior, particularly that of the sexually active youth. If you will be asked – will you accept this reason and forget about sex education for our children and youths?

I am not here to tell the world that what I am sharing to you should be accepted. I know of course, everyone has his own right for his views and opinions and we should respect them in return.

Thirty-five years ago, I was a first year high school student. I was 15year old at that time. One of my female classmates who was also at my age had become the apple of everyone’s eyes. She was beautiful with black long hair down her back. She smiles beautifully with dimple on her cheeks.

One of my male classmates was attracted about her. He courted her and showed his love for the girl. And in a short of time they became young lovers. Now the problem started. Three months before finishing the school year – the girl got pregnant. These young lovers became the hot subject in our school that caused them to be expelled out. If we will try to analyze the incident, we will arrive a question for sure like – who will suck the problem?

Sex education for me is a healthy move. If parents become too hesitant to talk openly to their children about sex and just let their children learn about it by themselves – I guess there will be more unwed mothers who are only in their teens. And maybe more abortions could be expected.

Imagine this – having sexual urges at this young age with their shallow knowledge of the cause and effects of replicating acts they see on adult DVDs, this could result in unwanted babies and sometimes a deadly disease. In this world of high technology nothing can be hidden from children!
