= = =Considering the Global Perspectives of Teenage Pregnancy =

What did you compare in your analysis?

 * How China, the US, and England dealt with the rise in Teenage Pregnancy **

What major similarities did you notice across your gathered information? More sex education and open communication between parents/teenagers

What major differences did you notice across your gathered information? In China sex is taboo and in the US teenage pregnancy is glorified with shows like //Teen Mom// and //Sixteen and Pregnant//

What could account for the differences between the global perspectives of idea/event you analyzed? (Be specific!)
 * Some countries have started educating their children at a younger age. We noticed in our studies that open the lines of communication between parents and teens had an inverse relationship with teen pregnancy. Also we feel that some countries have different stigmas that go with being pregnant, such as China vs. US. Some countries deal with the issue after the fact, such as abortion, which is a hot political topic in the US-that not one politician wants to touch; and then not even a "brow raiser" in countries such as England and China. **



Has your analysis of the various global perspectives changed your own perspective on the idea/event?
 * To have an open line of communication with our own children as well as making sure that our kids as well as ourselves stay up to date or educated on the issues **
