Mirco Adolescent  Catholic school (differing sex edu. curriculum to others)  Exposed to changing values in society Macro  Increased media attention  Decreasing age of adolescence “Tweens”  Questioning change of social ‘norms’ (sexual practice)  Rise in teen pregnancy / STD’s ...

Secondary Research • Not a lot on catholic/secular perspectives or differences. • Analysed continuities/changes in society well • Sources showed increases in pregnancy/STD’s/STI’s  possibly due to lack of edu.  further area’s of study.. ? 1. When sex goes to school, by Kristen Luker • Most helpful/reliable source found • Supported cross-cultural of time • Discussed change of social attitude (sex revolution) • Investigated micro influences (e.g. Religion, peers, personal experiences) • Background information to the topic 2.
