Bibliography[edit] Moral universalism is the meta-ethical view that moral judgments are objectively true or false, that everyone should behave according to the same set of normative ethics.[3][1]

In western countries, the legal concept of "informed consent" often sets the public standards on this issue.[9][2]

Assignment 6:

This article talked briefly on the subject of sexually transmitted diseases, but I think it is important to expand more on it because it has to do with sexual ethics. In the article, there was a brief section titled "public health" which touched briefly on sexually transmitted diseases. The article only had three sentences dedicated to this section, but I think there should be more written. There was a long run on sentence that mentioned sexually transmitted diseases as well as other health concerns. This particular sentence should be changed and fixed in order to make the article flow better. My idea is to further discuss what sexually transmitted diseases are and how they are spread. Furthermore, I think it would be a great idea to discuss which kind of STIs/STDs exist and how they impact individuals. Another idea of mine is to discuss whether or not there are cures and how they are treated. It would be important to mention which age group it is most commonly seen in. Another topic I think pertains to sexual ethics is unintended pregnancies which would be important to discuss. I think this is important to discuss since it relates to sexual ethics and can sometimes lead to other issues. This article could use more citations throughout to make it more legit and credible. Other topics that do not exist in the article right now that should be are sexual orientation and sexual relations. Some of the things discussed such as feminist and Christianity are things that I think are not important enough to discuss when explaining sexual ethics. This is because I think there are other topics that full under sexual ethics that take precedents. I think this article could use a rewrite to make it seem more like a reliable source than argumentative essay. I would like the help of other editors to make this article the best it could be. I would like to add more images throughout the article with good captions to make add to the creditability of it. I think this article has a very few numbers of images compared to other articles I have read. Some of the content in the article could definitely use more information in order to expand and provide information to other readers. For example, the first section did not provide much information to the readers which I think it could have. I liked that age of consent was mentioned in the article because I think that is an important aspect of sexual ethics. I would like to redesign the outline of the article if that would be possible and if other editors as well as the author would agree. I picked this article because as you can see it requires a lot of work and attention. In my opinion, the idea of the article is good, but the author of the article just needs help putting it all together. I am excited to do more research on sexual ethics and contribute to editing this article.

Christina's suggestions were useful to help better this article and I liked that she thought my ideas were great. I was able to make the appropriate changes to my article thus far.

In countries where public health is considered a public concern, there is also the concern about how sex impacts the health of individuals. Public health is known as the science of forfending and amending the health of people and their communities (Monroe, Perling, & Whitton). Public health professionals try to prevent these issues with creating things like education programs, recommending policies, doing research, and giving services. In such circumstances, there are health impacts resulting from sexual activities and there is the question of whether individuals have an ethical responsibility to the public at large for their behavior. Other concerns involved with sexual ethics are individuals not using contraception which then leads to an increased level of unplanned pregnancies and/or unwanted children, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and the amount of personal care involved in order to meet his or her requisite contribution to the general health of a nation's citizens. To help ease such concerns, this may involve the regular periodic testing for sexually transmitted diseases, disclosure of infection as a result of sexually transmitted diseases, and responsibility for taking safer sex precautions. Sexually transmitted diseases also known as STDs are caused by pathogens that enter the body through sexual activities (Workowski & Bolan, 2015). There are various ways in which sexually transmitted diseases can be spread such as through semen, blood, vaginal secretions, and other bodily fluid. Some STDs can be cured with medicine but there are others that cannot be which are the ones caused by a virus. Some sexually transmitted diseases and infection that an individual can be exposed to are gonorrhea, HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, genital herpes, syphilis, etc. Sexually transmitted diseases are usually spread to those who are gay and bisexual as well as those who are adolescents and young adults. It is important to disclose this type of information to your parent in efforts to stop the spread of these types of diseases. A step in the right direction is how patient portals are making it easier for those who have sexually transmitted diseases or infections to share lab results to their partners (Kevon-Mark, et al., 2020). This is important in order to be transparent and to help stop the spread of these types of diseases and infections through sexual activities with your partners. A public health agency known by the name of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who is dedicated to finding cures in order to save the lives of Americans (Monroe, Perling, & Whitton). The CDC plays an important role in understanding and controlling the spread of diseases and infections such as sexually transmitted ones. Another aspect to consider when discussing public health is health care.

It is insane to think how different all of the countries are especially when you compare their healthcare systems and how they deal with public health.

As you can see, in countries where they worry about public health, they also worry how sex impacts individuals and their health. Public Health workers try to eliminate public concerns by educating others about the negatives and how they can prevent them. Sexual ethics involves concerns such as individuals not practicing safe sex which then leads to unplanned pregnancies, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and everyone’s responsibility to take care of themselves in order to protect the nation as a whole. In order to eliminate the concerns of sexual ethics, this may involve individuals doing periodic testing for sexually transmitted diseases, telling others when one is infected, and individuals doing their own part in taking safer sex precautions. Health care centers are making it easier for their patients by using patient portals in order for patients to view and share their lab results with their partners. It is important to be informed that the United States is known as the only country who is profit-motivated in terms of health care.
