Iosif Todoran– February 21,2017 – Soc 130
ABSTRACT
How do countries feel abut controversial topics such as: Homosexuality, Abortion, Premarital Sex
and Divorce.
Controversial issues have plagued mankind since the very beginning and that is due the ideology
that without controversy you cant flourish as a race, country or simply a group of people. However,
the controversial issues we face today different from continent to continent and country to country
due to the culture, norms and moral values each person is exposed too. There are four issues in
particular that rise up again and again and they are: Homosexuality, Abortion, Premarital Sex and
Divorce. The four countries in question differ from one...show more content...
The New York Times reported a staggering 23% of adults are not affiliated to any religion. The rest
of the population is a mixture of religions such as: Christian, Catholics, Islam, and others. This
change in religious affiliations isn't affecting just the individuals who now partake in a non–religion
category but also the political parties. The Republican Party relies on the votes of those who
affiliate with the Christian faith and if those votes change due to a change in religious affiliation
then we could also see a decline in the number of morality for these issues (Cohen). For now, the

2. Controversial Themes
Controversial issues play an important role in today's society due to increasing social and cultural
diversity, as a direct result of this diversity there is a vast array of controversial issues that may be
encountered within the modern school setting (Woolley, 2010; Mulet, 2014). It would be unfeasible
to explore all of the controversial issues encountered inside schools within this essay, therefore, the
focus of this assignment will be exploring the debates centring on death and violence. The decision
to focus on these areas is as a direct response to scenarios I have encountered within school settings
which have highlighted the importance of addressing these interconnected controversial themes.
Whilst there are many quality non–fiction texts available that centre on these issues, the emphasis of
this assignment will be on children's fiction.

Fiction allows us to experience events vicariously (Appendix 2.3 – teacher's viewpoint), enabling us
to gain a greater depth of understanding regarding a topic, a different perspective and engender
empathy for the circumstances of our peers (Emery, 1996; Wise, no date; Mulet, 2014; Rowling,
2010; Barnett, 2014; Tomasino, Zarnowski, and Backner, 2003; Lysaker, Tonge, 2013; Medwell,
Wray, and Moore, 2014). Vygotsky's theories of cognitive development support this perspective,
stating that children develop as a direct result of encountering new experiences and from using the
new information to construct or reconstruct existing knowledge (Johnson, 2003). Arguably,
therefore, there is a link between the process of social and cultural interaction in conjunction with
life experiences and the impact upon the linguistic, cognitive, social, and emotional development of
children (Johnson,
