Religion teaches you that if you commit certain crimes or sins you will be punished in the afterlife by going to hell. This is how social control was perfomed years ago, before there were major law enforcement agencies punishing you for crimes that you commit. It made you believe that if you did something wrong, then you would be punished and sent to hell for it.In what ways does religion act as a form of social control in contemporary society?
Religion controls in 2 ways (All religions except Taoism i understand):-
1. The bribe if your nice 'you'll go to heaven and if you naughty 'you'll go to hell'
2. the preaching of contradictory ideas requiring you to contact them to ask how to resolve the conflicts in life.
Organised religion is not about belief but about its own self perpetuation and as such tries to keep the society under its influence.
I have nothing about belief in heaven, reincarnation, the God/Force etc and idea on how to respect each other but the control of people by doctrine that has no place in today's society other than habit os morally wrong as is the way it persecutes certain groups and tried to convert all others to its ways.In what ways does religion act as a form of social control in contemporary society?
I think it was Karl Marx who described Religion as: ';Opium for the masses.'; I think that is a fair description of Religion.
Religions are all based on the suppression of desires. I.E. Don't do this! don't do that! be a good boy and you will be go to heaven. Religion serves as a form of social control in two ways, stop people from doing anything ';wrong'; by installing in them hope that if they behave themselves they'll have the afterlife to look forward too. (Maybe people thought that if the Police can't keep the working class in check maybe religion will.)
Regardless of whether it has been used to hoodwink the masses will pretty soon be irrelevant because soon it will simply not be enough to satisfy people. The financial crisis may have seen an increase in people returning to religion but this will be short lived because people will start demanding more than the psychological crutch that religion provides. They will demand the truth.
Have a look at the following link It gives a better explanation of the above:

And if you would like to see how we create a better society have a look at the following link:

It acts as a form of socail control, because Religion has guidelines on how to live your life. It acts as an authority for your actions. People alwyas attempt to justify there actions... religion leaves no room for the attempts to justify a person actions.
Ex. ';I stole this .... because dude owed me money.';
U can say this is right or wrong... but from a religious pt. of view.. Stealing is wrong, pt. blank.

Can you take any form of birth control when you're breastfeeding?
i'm going to give birth around the end of sept. and i was wondering if you can be on the shot, pill, or nuvaring while breastfeeding?Can you take any form of birth control when you're breastfeeding?
Pills, injections, or other forms of birth control not involving estrogens may be used with minimal side effects when breastfeeding. While small amounts of estrogen in the breast milk has not been found to harm babies, there are concerns it may reduce the amount of milk produced.
It might be a great idea to see yor doctor or nurse.
Good luck!Can you take any form of birth control when you're breastfeeding?
you really shouldn't need any birth control while breast feeding. I can't remember why but my doctor said normally you can't get pregnant if you are nursing? Good luck
You should only take the progesterone only pills. You take them the same way as the regular pill, but they won't interfere with breast milk production.
I've heard when you're breastfeeding you should be on special low-dose pills that have progesterone only, and no estrogen, because estrogen can interfere with your milk supply. I would ask your doctor, I'm not really sure what these pills are called.
I just had my baby 2 months ago and am breastfeeding. I asked for the Nuvaring, but it is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. My doctor prescribed me the 'mini pill' because it will not affect your milk supply. I am also going to get an IUD put in later, but he says to wait a few months for my uterus to get back to normal. It lasts 5 years, can be taken out at anytime, and is compatible with breastfeeding. You will definitely need some form of BC because breastfeeding isn't a reliable form of birth control; some women still ovulate while breastfeeding, especially when they are supplementing. Good luck!
I breast fed exclusively and did not have a period for nine entire months. Breastfeeding is not 100% as a contraceptive, but it is pretty darn good.
Use a condom or a sponge
I would never use hormones while I was feeding a baby.
the mini pill you can take while your breastfeeding
Be sure to discuss this with your health care provider after giving birth. I'm pretty sure you can take the minipill and none of the other options (they come through in the milk and they affect your milk supply.) It can reduce your milk supply, so be sure you have been nursing for several weeks before starting the pill. Nursing as often and as long as the baby wants will help ensure a well established milk supply.
It can often be harmful to ur child in breast feeding. my advice just lay of the sex while u r breast feeding.
you can use the mini-pill, the depo shot, or regular barrier methods (condoms, diaphragm)
you might not get a period while you're breastfeeding but you can still get pregnant
i know you can' be on the pill because it lowers milk supply. don't know about the other two.congrats!
There are several options, but what I found worked for me and was very leanient was mini-pills, i.e. POPs (progesterone only pills). I felt like I had more control with those while breastfeeding, that I could take them for as long as I wanted and when ready to stop or switch to something else, I could.
You can have an IUD put inside mirena lasts up to 5 years. I have that and I am currently breastfeeding.

Is Plan B a form of birth control?
This is an opinion question as I see Plan B questions here a lot. What do you think of Plan B? Personally, I feel like it is used by many many people as a form of birth control (as there are better forms of birth control on the market). I'm not opposed to it, but I am opposed to it for this purpose. I would just like to hear other thoughts.Is Plan B a form of birth control?
If the condom breaks or you were raped, or 'wasted' and don't remember what happens, etc.. Take it. Not for birth control purposes, but to prevent something that shouldn't have happened in the beginning.. and something that you couldn't totally control.
Personally, if it's used otherwise.. I don't think it's a form of birth control.. I think it's a form of irresponsibility. If you are going to have sex.. Either take REAL birth control and/or use condoms.Is Plan B a form of birth control?
The morning-after pill 鈥?a form of emergency birth control 鈥?is used to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant after she has had unprotected vaginal intercourse. Morning-after pills are generally considered safe, but many women are unaware that they exist. Here's how the morning-after pill works.
Human conception rarely occurs immediately after intercourse. Instead, it occurs as long as several days later, after ovulation. During the time between intercourse and conception, sperm continue to travel through the fallopian tube until the egg appears. So taking emergency birth control the ';morning after'; isn't too late to prevent pregnancy.
The active ingredients in morning-after pills are similar to those in birth control pills, except in higher doses. Some morning-after pills contain only one hormone, progestin (Plan B), and others contain two, progestin and estrogen. Progestin prevents the sperm from reaching the egg and keeps a fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus (implantation). Estrogen stops the ovaries from releasing eggs (ovulation) that can be fertilized by sperm.
The morning-after pill is designed to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse with a second dose taken 12 hours later. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue and headache. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the morning-after pill is 80 percent effective in preventing pregnancy after a single act of unprotected sex.
Morning-after pills aren't the same thing as the so-called abortion pill, or mifepristone (Mifeprex). Emergency contraceptive pills prevent pregnancy. The abortion pill terminates an established pregnancy 鈥?one that has attached to the uterine wall and has already begun to develop.
Plan B is available to women 18 years and older without a prescription at most pharmacies. Women must show proof of age to purchase Plan B. For women 17 years old and younger, Plan B is available with a doctor's prescription.
I think that if you are raped, have a condom break, or a victim of incest, than the morning after pill is the way to go. I don't like the fact that people are being so careless about sex and relying on this ';plan B';.
Plan B, means Plan A failed. Not using any protection is not Plan A, that's no plan. Alot of women try this pill as a means of birth control, that is true. But, since you asked, I think that is careless and irresponsible. People need to accept responsibilty for their actions. BTW- I have a cousin who tried ';Plan B'; and had a baby with Special Needs. What's Plan B for that?
Yes, it is birth control, and it's very sad. I used it one time a couple of years ago before my husband and I got married... and now I have some regrets. However, I don't think I was actually ovulating then, but I was scared never the less.
Girls use it as bc because it's so easy to get now. You can go to Target, Walmart, Walgreen's pharmacies, etc. and get it right over the counter. There are so many things wrong with our kids today, because the last batch of kids that became parents had no idea what they were doing.
It's not getting any better, it's getting worse. So, it's either Plan B and abortions, or a whole generation of screwed up kids with 14 year old parents who never wanted them... all because parents don't take responsibility for their kids anymore. Sad.
I personally have taken twice when the condom broke. We (it was with my ex) were using protection because we knew we were not ready for a child. I do hear of people taking it on a regular basis which is scary. Who knows what that would do to you body after a while. When I took it, it made me feel really weird and not myself for a couple days. I know you can get it over the counter now in the US but wouldnt it just be easier to get on birth control or use condoms?
Plan B isn't a form of birth control nor should it be used as one. It has to be taken within 72 hours of having unprotected sex and each time you take it it has a lesser chance of working. For example the first time you take it it has an 85% chance that it will work and each time you take it the percentage that it will work decreases.
It shouldn't be used as birth control. It is to help protect you from getting preggo from unprotected sex. It is alot cheaper and safer to use the pill or shot than to use Plan B all the time. Girls now days are being careless with there bodies, I met a woman who had 7 abortions in 3 years. She told me that it's her form of birthcontrol. Now, I do support abortion and Plan B but I don't support stupid women having abortions 12 times a year or using Plan B every month.
If Plan B is considered birth control, it's lazy birth control. It is supposed to be used only in emergency situations, i.e. condom breaks, rape, etc. Actual birth control is something that is taken or used to actively prevent conception, suck as ';the pill'; or condoms. People who just rush for the Plan B without taking any other preventative measures shouldn't even be having sex!!
hmm..now that i think of it..Its kinda like an abortion pill. If you conceived that night. I guess...It stops it from fertilizing the egg? Or stops it from pregressing after it is already fertilized?
I think its not really a birth control. Just for ppl who want to have sex but not take control of their outcomes.
It's actually like the morning contraception pill from what I've learned. You must take it within 72 hours after intercourse, to stop the chance of pregnancy. The best time to take it is within 24 hours for a better chance of stopping the chance of pregnancy.
It wouldn't be my birth control choice. Personally I'd much prefer prevention rather than a ';whoops'; situation and plan b after.
I dont think it is a form of Birth control.. I think its bad if you take it everyday! The Pill is the best thing!!
Nochemical face peel

Someone once told me they believed that homosexuality was God's form of birth control?
Because we can't take care of the children we already have.?
I was flabbergasted What do you think of that!?Someone once told me they believed that homosexuality was God's form of birth control?
In the Bible God tells us that he hates sodomy, the physical expression of homosexuality, so it could not be his method of birth control. From reading the Bible, it looks like God's method of birth control, in addition to wars and natural disasters of all kinds, is that Christ will return when everyone God made has been born and then the whole world order will change and we will no longer have babies. Of course, he expects us to use reasonable restraint in how many babies we have, so that we have only those babies that we have prepared ourselves to be able to take proper care of.Someone once told me they believed that homosexuality was God's form of birth control?
Well I believe God told us to be fruitful and multiply. What does being gay have to do with child care. Hell most men are not 100% guy, but bisexual
That is stupid. No matter your opinion on homosexuality.
Personally I don't think it is right. But before people go calling me names and think that I hate gay people...sI don't. I don't like that they are gay... I don't not like the person. I don't like alot of things that people do but that doens't mean that I don't like the people. I was taught in church ';Hate the sin not the Sinner.';
BTW - I do have gay friends and they understand my POV.
One of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard!!!!!
I think it's a very narrow minded and uninformed statement. Being gay doesn't mean you'd be a bad parent. A lot of gay people are more caring and responsible parents than a lot of heterosexual ones.
im a homosexual and i plan on impregnating all the woman i can
hah,kinda true, but i highly dought God would do this.
God said its only man and woman, but i have no idea why people like their own gender, its crazy, but anyways, this person that told you this was probably crazy or drunk.
lol :\

Do you think the increased amount of homosexuality in the world/media is a form of population control?
This just seems funny to me. Straight couples are becoming rare.Do you think the increased amount of homosexuality in the world/media is a form of population control?
If you think straight couples are becoming rare you are obviously never setting foot outside the gay bar.Do you think the increased amount of homosexuality in the world/media is a form of population control?
';Straight couples are becoming rare';- That's bull. Gays will always make up a very small percentage of the population.
And it's not that there's more homosexuality, it's that more people are being open about it. People have engaged in homosexual activity forever. It's only in recent times that some societies have become more tolerant of it.
It might be more like an unintended consequence. There could be a social 'soul' that responds to overcrowding. For instance, the birth rate in the US was the lowest in our history during the depression in the 1930's. At that time there were no reliable methods of birth control other than abstinence.
Is there actually an increase in the % of homosexuality or is it just increased numbers due to increased population over all?
no its just that gay people are more comfortable in coming out nowadays. and the population is increasing, so therefore the proportion of gay people will be higher.
Well, I guess it is a form of birth control. LOL

What do you think of the idea mandating a form of birth control in order to receive public aid (welfare)?
To those who can physically tolerate it, such as depo shot, IUD, patch, sterilization as an option for the recipient.What do you think of the idea mandating a form of birth control in order to receive public aid (welfare)?
I love the idea. If you can't support a child, you can't have them. Sounds cold and logical.What do you think of the idea mandating a form of birth control in order to receive public aid (welfare)?
So by your ';cold'; logic we should put every woman on birth control starting from age 13 until those women are either a) married or b) financially well off.
Although I personally believe you should never have more children than you can support, I wouldn't want the government to tell anyone that. I don't think that the government should have that much control over a person's reproductive rights. And it punishes just the woman -- not the man or men who father the children. Seems grossly unfair. Better to round up all the deadbeat parents and make them contribute financially to the costs of raising a child.
I think I'm glad to live in a nation that has respect for people's fundamental right to control of their own bodies whether they be rich or poor.
I think it is a good idea! Think about it, for every child these families on welfare have, they get more money! So, if the states can cut down on how many families just keep having kids to get more money, then maybe there wouldn't be so many people on welfare to begin with. I am a single mother of 2, and I tried to get WIC jst to help with the cost of formula, milk, and cereal. I do not qualify! If there weren't so many peple receiving welfare, maybe the total income guidelines would be lower, and I could get the little bit of help I could really use. I make enough, but having 2 kids that need clothes, shoes, and diapers(one of them anyhow) plus groceries, rent, utilities... I could use the extra help here and there. But then again I don't know many moms that don't need a little extra here and there.
Ummm no!
just because people have hit a rough spot in their lives doesnt mean you can stop them from having children. Not every person collecting assistance is a baby-making welfare parasite.
Nice generalization though.
You can't have that with the general public, it's not ethical at all. I understand why it's talked about though. About a year ago I worked at a grocery store and a girl came in with her 3 kids and was pregnant with a 4th. She had a friend with her and they were talking as I was checking this girl out, her friend made a comment about her pregnancy and the girl replied with ';yea i probably wouldn't have even kept this baby, but i'm getting too much money.'; i was beyond mad. it's not fair, but it's all too common.
I think it is a good idea, but it will never pass...
I think the best solution is to just disband welfare altogether. If people can't support themselves then why should those who can support themselves be mandated to support non-productive people? That being said, my sister is a single mother who put herself through college and is on housing assistance. I think there definitely should be some sort of welfare reform because it's being overused and abused.
11 years ago I recieved welfare for myself and my first daughter,I think it's a good idea being that I was logical and responsible enough not to continue having children because I was poor.So the ppl that say not everyone on welfare is a baby making machine are correct, and there are ppl who genuinely need the help until they're back on their feet.however there is alot of abuse and by the way blacks and latinos are not the majority on welfare -it's caucasians.
I love the idea. If you can't support a child, you can't have them. Sounds cold and logical.What do you think of the idea mandating a form of birth control in order to receive public aid (welfare)?
So by your ';cold'; logic we should put every woman on birth control starting from age 13 until those women are either a) married or b) financially well off.

Although I personally believe you should never have more children than you can support, I wouldn't want the government to tell anyone that. I don't think that the government should have that much control over a person's reproductive rights. And it punishes just the woman -- not the man or men who father the children. Seems grossly unfair. Better to round up all the deadbeat parents and make them contribute financially to the costs of raising a child.
