What are today's modern day 'Scarlet Letters'?
Read the short article "Ingenious Punishments— Their Object All Sublime: A Vogue for Shaming Wrongdoers" and consider the following questions in a blog entry: What types of 'immoral' behaviors are frowned upon by modern American society? What are the punishments for those behaviors? What should they be?

Planned Parenthood & Aloha Pregnancy Care
Planned Parenthood and Aloha Pregnancy Care came to our large class and talked to us about their purposes and their points of view on abortion, stem-cell research, abstinence and same sex marriage.
I like Planned Parenthood's idea on things. Planned Parenthood is a pro-choice organization. I full pro-choice. They think that sexuality is health and everyone should be respected equal no matter gay, straight or bisexual. That means they are for same sex marriage. Everyone should be entitled to fall in love, no matter the sexuality. They also think that people should have planned pregnancies. It should be the woman's choice on when she wants to have a baby or when she would like to have an abortion. The women also has the choice to their own embryotic or fetal tissue. It was interesting how they brought about abstinence. They had a comprehensive and abstinence education. They showed the pros and cons to comprehensive learning of abstinence. Comprehensive learning only shows you the false information and it just tries to scare you from having sex. While abstinence education is giving you the choice on whether or not you want to have sex and if you do, use a condom.
While Aloha Pregnancy Care showed you the spiritual side of each subject. They think that there shouldn't allow same sex marriage. They said that in the bible, God made it so that only men and women should get married, not men to men or woman to woman. They used the word of God for everyone back up to why they believe each subject should be that way and no other way. They made a good argument but it was interesting to seeing an organization that is letting you be the master of your body and then another organization saying follow the word of God.
It was a great large class and I am very thankful that I got to hear both side of each arguments.
