Global View ‐ Contraceptives (C0252) 
A: Alright, settle down everyone. As part of this school’s
curriculum we’ll be covering sex ed this week.
A: Now I want everyone to take this class seriously, sexual
education is very important and I want you to ask as many
questions as you can think of. Remember, there are no
stupid questions here.
B: Miss Carlton? What exactly is sexual education? Are
you going to teach us like Kama sutra stuff like that?
A: No Jason, that’s not exactly what sex ed is. Basically,
we will talk about sexually transmitted diseases,
contraceptives and how the male and female bodies work.
B: My older sister is in college and she takes what she and
her friends call the pill. I never really understood what that
is, but I know it has to do with sex or something.
A: Good point Jason! This will be the topic of our first
class, contraceptives. As you mentioned, the pill is one of
the many that exist. The birth control pill is taken daily by
a woman in order to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but it
does not protect her from contracting STD’s from an
infected person. Another popular method is using condoms.
This is probably the best method if you have sex, since it
not only prevents a woman from getting pregnant but also
protects both from STD’s. Yes Jason?
B: What are condoms made out of? How exactly is it that
a woman gets pregnant?
A: Condoms are usually made out of an elastic material
called Latex. As for your other question, that’s a whole

new class.
