Sexuality And Human Values

Now available in a new paperback edition, this survey is different in both breadth and scope from all other reports on sexuality in the United States. It covers every topic imaginable, from a multicultural point of view, in order to reflect fully the complex society in which we live: the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of our sexual lives.

SPECIAL QUESTIONS (FOR GRADE 11, THE AGE OF DEEPENING) The book series is all about education in human sexuality, based on the nourishment and cultivation of the natural gift of a person’s character. The series is based on the premise that SEXUALITY EDUCATION is, basically, CHARACTER EDUCATION, which in turn is founded on human dignity and encompasses formation in moral standards and human conduct; hence, covering the key elements of “life and love, and everything in between”. Comprising an introductory volume for parents and teachers; a volume for classroom use of teachers; a volume for parents; and eight volumes for Grades 5 to 12, respectively, this current volume is specifically addressed to Grade 6 pupils, about 17 to 18 year olds in their late adolescence. It talks about SPECIAL QUESTIONS: on issues concerning life; sex; marriage; and human identity. Since men and women have been gifted with intellect and will, one becomes highly capable of using well or abusing these powers for the good or damage of self and fellowmen. It is thus extremely important that students at this age have a deep appreciation of the issues confronting the modern world, especially in the realm of sexuality and the channels of its development. The book series is characterized by sound, perennial concepts and by teaching and learning tools geared towards the age group being addressed.
