Should minors be allowed to buy birth control without parental consent? I had to convince my mother to the positive side of minors and birth controls. I have been through peer pressure about sex and everyone around me at some point started to visualize sexual interaction as a normality. And the fact that people around me were engaging in it didn’t drive me to rush straight to it but neither did I judge them for what they were doing as long as what they wanted to do. However what was more of a worry to me was that all my friends didn’t want their parents knowing they were sexually active at a young age and neither did they involve them in getting birth control. When I talked to them and tried to find out why it was a bad idea to talk to their parents especially “the mothers” about the sex life and birth controls most of them said that the parent won’t do more than overreacting and give them pep talks about sex. As I talked to one of…

Policy Brief on Russia’s Interference with EU Elections Summary Russia has recently adopted a high stakes approach to enforcing its international and ge-political agenda in different parts of the world (Delcour, 2016). By meddling in, or sometimes even interfering with election in these target countries, Russia can alter the outcomes according to predetermined objectives aligned with its own agenda or those of tactical allies. The West is currently concerned about Russia’s recent change in tactic; more so after reports that the same strategy may have influenced President Trump, Prime Minister Theresa May and other political leaders in their respective capacities. While the US appeared conflicted in its reactions to the Russian activities, the EU is not keen to allow its long-time arch-nemesis to tamper with any of its electioneering activities. Several EU countries have been identified as having suffered or being targeted by Russia in the same manner. Some of these countries were targeted due to national elections, while others were targeted due to their affiliation with the EU (Averre, 2007). The UK, Germany, and France were victims based on…

Patient Privacy Introduction The issue of patients’ privacy is taking a twist with the current breaches in the privacy rights for patients. Despite the rules set concerning the need for patient privacy, individuals are taking the risk of breaking the rules and thus research should be done to identify the reasons behind the vice. The Royal Hospital scandal is surrounded by misunderstandings on who was and was not wrong. It is not fair to conclude the attempt by the two Australian DJs was not a prank as initially claimed without gathering details on the same. Privacy protection is critical in protecting the careers and relationships of patients but should not be used as an excuse for breaching moral standards. Analysis The case would have been a strategy to get private information about Kate’s pregnancy. If indeed the incident was a prank as claimed, the individuals would not have opted for impersonation to hide their identities. Also, Kate would not have felt uncomfortable upon being told that it was a prank and therefore it implied that Kate did not like the…
