Does it make sense?
1. How is the legal age of consent contrary to our societies beliefs?
The legal age of consent is contrary to our societies beliefs because the age for having a driving license is 16, the age for signing up for military service is 16, the age to have the right to vote is 18, and the legal drinking age 19. It does not make sense that the age of consent is 14, which is two years younger than the required age for signing up for military service and the required age to have a driving license. The government believes teens are not responsible and mature, but the government makes 14 the age of consent. Many adults believe teenagers do not think carefully about the consequences before putting things into action. Therefore, the government stated a law that a person who is 19 is officially an adult. It is unreasonable for the age of consent to be 14. Teenagers might think that they are mature enough to make decisions in life for themselves. However, teenagers will not know how to handle difficult situations in life when they are in trouble. Therefore, 14 is not an appropriate age for children to have consent.
2. Should this be a legal issue or should it just be a moral issue?
This should be a legal issue because it affects all teenagers in Canada. Many people from the United States uses this law to their advantage and harm the 14 year old children in Canada. If this is made a legal issue, less girls and boys in Canada will be involved in dangerous activities because the children will know they are doing something illegal and will stop after realizing. Canada will be a safer place for citizens to live in because the parents will not have to worry as much about their children. Also, less lives will be ruined because of addiction to drugs, uncontrollable alcohol intake, and the sex trade. If this is made a legal issue, we will be able to keep our future generations safe from these dangerous activities.
Rules of sex
With consideration of 3 main purposes of sex & the legal ages for the other rights of passage, create a set of 6 rules to follow before sex can be engaged in.
From what age should these rules be applied?
