This is a communication class and several topics were covered such as community, relationships, cultures and gender. The one topic that truly surprised me was the small section on sex. I think that communication plays a key role in a couple’s relationship. Sex/ making love are also an important role within that same relationship. I would like to see communication on sex at the various age levels and within the family unit. Sex is still a taboo topic in many families and cultures when raising children. I think this topic could be a reason why students in college become promiscuous in college. Just like students who come from a strict household, they may become the party animals in college because it is a forbidden evil that young adults now have the freedom to “taste” without having a family member judging them. Other cultures/ religions use guilt to tame unacceptable behaviors but once in college it is as if the flood gates have opened and we are free to try new experiences without consequences from our parents.

Dear Katrina,
ReplyDeleteI also believe that the sex topic was not mentioned enough within our class. Sex is a big thing going on nowadays, and it is full of non-verbal meaning to it whether it shows love, or perhaps something playful. Sex can show a person's type of love that somebody is interested in. For example, I can have a one-night stand with someone I met at a club, and then move on with my life. The example would represent me as a playful love that only wants sex for the fun and thrill of it.
Thanks for sharing all your blogs in this semester! Hope you take care and do well! :)
Jeff!
