1. How your chosen ethical issue affects one’s freedom in society?

Pre-Marital sex affect freedom in society in such a way that people are being restricted to
practice what they want just because the society has imposed a certain standard regarding a
certain thing. In its most primary essence, a lot of people have their own needs may it be
physically, mentally, and even sexually. Sometimes, certain activities are the ones that make
them feel more comfortable about themselves, and imposing or having standard of pre-marital
sex affect their freedom because they are being told not to do what they what exactly want to do.

Restrictions have disadvantages in its fundamental essence. To provide a better context,


parents who do not effectively scaffold their children into adulthood and who do not give
opportunities for their children to learn from their own mistakes contribute to the development of
children with developmental disabilities. An excellent example is being too limited in terms of
internet and phone access. Children will come up with creative methods to get around the limits.
Rather than avoiding open discussions on values, it is better to engage in open negotiations with
children about the kind of future they see for themselves. Additionally, exerting control
encourages children to exercise control as well. They have been trained to believe that force,
rather than partnership, is the fundamental standard of existence in order to survive.

The illustration or scenario that was made mentioned above clearly depicts how a person
would act if he/she is being restricted with what he/she truly wants. All people, regardless of
gender, should have the ability to think for themselves and not just base their actions solely with
what the society has stated.

With what has been stated, allow me to identify the significance of sexual freedom. It is
advantageous to have sexual freedom since sex is a big element of life for the majority of people,
and having sexual freedom allows individuals to connect with the people and things that bring
them pleasure in their lives. Promiscuity is not (necessarily) associated with sexual liberation.
Consider the United States as a whole: conservative ones where sexual freedom is viewed
unfavorably have higher rates of teenage pregnancy, promiscuity, and younger persons having
sex than liberal states where more sexual freedom is permitted.
In relation to this, promiscuity is not necessarily seen as a bad characteristic. Individuals
who engage in consensual sexual behavior are not doing anything wrong in and of themselves.
Individuals who are ashamed of their sexuality, on the other hand, suffer greatly. People's
embarrassment over sex hinders them from discussing birth control in public, which is why
conservative states have greater rates of unwed mothers than more liberal ones. Individuals who
are embarrassed of their sexual health and who are unwilling to seek testing are more likely to
live in conservative states, which explains why conservative states have higher rates of STI
infection. Individuals suffer as a result of sexual repression. Promiscuity, on the other hand, is
not necessarily a bad trait.

Sexual freedom is a fundamental human right. It has a central position in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, which is founded on the values of human dignity, equality, and
civil liberties. Unlike other aspects of life, sexuality cannot be dictated or governed; rather, it is a
natural, vital, and irreplaceable component of human existence. Consequently, persons of legal
age should not be prohibited from engaging in sexual behavior just because they are not married,
since doing so effectively limits not only their own freedom but also that of the whole society.

2. Based on our culture, is the topic given to you acceptable or not?

The Philippines is a mostly Catholic nation, and the church's anti-premarital sex teaching
continues to have a strong influence on society at all levels, notwithstanding recent changes.
Traditionally, it is thought that when God created Adam and Eve, he meant for them to be
together until death. They were utterly unfamiliar with the concept of sex before marriage since
it had never been a part of their life. Premarital sex is not mentioned at all in the Bible, and it is
not encouraged. Because fornication between unmarried couples is not permitted by the Church,
who counts sinners among us, many sinners in this world who routinely commit sins will put
themselves out for regular sexual intercourse simply because they want some company during
their more intimate moments or because they lack self-control as Paul warns that the body is not
meant for sexual immorality and, the body is not meant for sexual immorality and, the body is
not meant for sexual immorality and, the body is not meant for sexual im Due to the fact that
premarital sex goes against cultural standards, some individuals do not believe it is socially
acceptable.
Premarital sex seems to be acceptable in today's culture, according to the general view.
Some have reservations about whether or not it is morally right to do so before a marriage is
established. If you quote them on anything else, please make sure your questions mention what
their reservations are so that we can provide them with an answer that is as close as possible to
their viewpoint.

Many individuals in the nation are more than delighted to agree for premarital sex since
they consider it to be normal and beneficial in many ways. For one thing, we've all seen enough
movies where couples have sexual relations before marriage but then go on to marry later - this
is often what has persuaded many of us to believe that premarital sex is completely innocuous up
until this point.

Pre-marital sex is rather popular these days. However, it is only required and socially
acceptable for persons who have graduated from high school or college. Students (high school
and college students) do participate, but it is completely inappropriate. However, once you enter
the workforce, no one notices or cares. It is usual for couples to cohabit and have children
without marrying each other since divorce is outlawed in the United States.

This is something that people freely discuss among friends, both men and women.
Perhaps not as directly as, "I had sex last night," but rather in the context of ordinary chats that
suggest a positive sex life in general. Traveling and vacationing together as unmarried couples is
not frowned upon, and there is no issue as to whether or not they should stay in a single hotel
room. It is not a problem in the least.

Because they feel that sexual relations are holy and should only be shared between
married couples, older conservative Christians in this area are opposed to the notion of
premarital sex. This, however, is not a universal belief, as a minority of people adhere to more
liberal theological interpretations of premarital sex, which tend to place greater emphasis not on
the act itself, but on the potential of the unmarried couple to care for the child if the act results in
the birth of a child.

While persons who engage in sexual activity before marriage do not become social pariah
in this country, they are still treated with disdain. Premarital sex, in and of itself, does not cause
me any concern, if I am being really honest.
I consider sex to be a biological activity that is as natural as eating, breathing, and going
to the bathroom—albeit one that should be carried out properly and within the confines of the
law. It is for this reason that it is ranked at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of wants. What I'm
concerned with is whether or not the couple that is doing it is mature and responsible enough to
engage in safe sex, and, as previously said, whether or not they have the financial means and
capacity to care for the kid themselves if one is born.
