Chatroulette is a fairly new website where one can get in a webchat with someone from anywhere in the world. However, this website is known to be highly obscene. People are beginning to panic over if kids are seeing these things or not.
CBS recently aired a segment on the new with Harry Smith, Ernie Allen, the President of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and Natali Del Conte about a new social network called “Chatroulette”. In this segment, Natali and Ernie over exaggerate the problems of this new website. To be clear, Chatroulette is just a website with a bunch of men masturbating and clicking the “next” button before viewers can report them. This is all that Chatroulette is for kids that know about it and the only people who think it’s a social network are people that wouldn’t use it in the first place and crazy CBS reporters. This is well known to teens because any time it is brought up in conversation it is always brought up with a story of something very gross someone saw.
Personally, I believe this is not a problem that merits any time on any news show. In fact, this is not a problem at all. As I said, any teenager who has heard about Chatroulette knows that it’s just a bunch of guys masturbating on the Internet. With this in mind, no child would want to go onto this unless they wanted to watch a bunch of older men masturbating on the Internet which makes it just like the other fifty percent of the Internet. If a child wants to search for a guy masturbating on the Internet, they’re going to find it and its not going to damage them in any way since they’re looking for it. Conclusively, there is no reason to act like this is a threat, and anyone who wants to use this social network without seeing anyone masturbating should get off the computer or try “Stickam”
Recently, laws have been proposed to offer sex education in schools K-12. Parents have become very distraught over the idea of their children learning about sex. However, much of the information about this law is cloaked under the commotion.
America currently holds the highest teen pregnancy rate in the entire industrialized world, and this rate continues to rise. Countries like the Netherlands, Switzerland and Denmark, which have the lowest teen pregnancy rates, have had sex education courses for decades. These courses include having students as young as six write essays about sex, and middle school children watch teacher demonstrations on how to put on a condom. If one were to go down a list of nations teen pregnancy rates it would be very clear that the nations with the lowest teen pregnancy rates also have the most thorough and early sexual education.
Finally, I support these laws in belief that any person not in support of these laws does not know the facts and is looking at the problem only from a personal level.
Arizona has recently taken radical action to prevent illegal immigration. A new bill enacted in Arizona requires all citizens to have documentation of citizenship and give police the power to ask citizens for documentation if they suspect they are in the country illegally.
Personally, I think the way that American citizens are treating Mexican immigrants is despicable. Mexican immigrants aren’t coming here to cause harm, but rather because living in Mexico isn’t as good as it should be. We should be focusing more on how to help our neighbors rather than becoming separated from them.
