College Student Views Of Unwanted Pregnancy-Content AnalysisEssay Preview: College Student Views Of Unwanted Pregnancy-Content AnalysisReport this essayIn my content analysis, I went to the Health Center located in the Virginia Frese Hall on the 3rd Floor room 310 of Queens College. I walked through the hallway, and as I was approaching the room I noticed that there were pamphlets, brochures and handouts all around the hallway on the left and right side of the walls. At that moment I knew that I was in the right place. When I finally got to the room I was looking for, I noticed that the office has three desks and another room. One desk is where the secretary works on and the other two are employees and those desks and computers are used for their paper work. The people that sit on the other two desks can also help you if the secretary is not available. In my situation one of the other desks helped me because the secretary was busy on the phone. The other room that I saw but I did not go into also had a few desks; I am not sure what the other room is used for.
The lady that was sitting on one of the other desks asked me if I needed help, I told her that I needed information about their health center and their services and a few brochures and pamphlets. She was so happy to help me and extremely nice. She walked me to another room across the hall and sat down and told me her name, which is Connie Capobianco and she happened to be the director as well as the nurse of the Health Center, which was great.
I explained to her that I was doing research for one of my classes on Queens College students views of an unwanted pregnancy and what services does Queens College have to offer. She was very interested and willing to help me with what I needed. She gave me a lot of pamphlets, brochures and one page papers that explained what and where you can go to get help for pregnant women. She explained everything they offer in detail to me and if they cannot help they send them to a referred clinic somewhere around the victims area and if needed Nurse Connie is willing to go with them. Connie told me how she approaches these students, she firsts talks to them when they tell her that they are late for their period, she counsels them and encourages them to be tested on STDs and HIV which can take place in the office. The Health Center also has doctors and nurses which are free of charge for pregnancy tests and testing of STDs and HIV, which I was stunned and very happy that they would do that without asking for money. They also provide education to promote a healthier lifestyle (literature, interacted information). If they cannot help the students than they will refer them to an inexpensive clinic such as Planned Parenthood, these places that the women are referred to can also provide abortion, they also have a few clinics whether the student has insurance or not.
Connie as well as her coworkers encourages these students to come back and speak to them if needed. All the information is confidential and free, the hours of operation is Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
When I was looking at these pamphlets on my own time I noticed a few things. On two of the pamphlets there is the same picture of the same girl with the same expression on her face. I thought that was odd because one pamphlet is if someone close to you hurt you in any way and what you should do or who you should call and the other pamphlet is what to do if you have been sexually assaulted. They were both supported by Mayor Bloomberg and the Commissioner, Office to Combat Domestic Violence. The expression on this womans face is very strong and it catches the viewers eye to pick this up. Also it is live picture rather than a digital paper or cartoon type of picture. The other pamphlet that tells you
the last two sentences of the pamphlet you see is also very strong. The most obvious of that is the expression of their face on picture. That it is live and graphic.
I see an abundance of other examples of this kind I would like to point out.
1. I am going to be honest with you about that you are very concerned about your sexual orientation and you understand that but please do stop reading the other pamphlets from their own time and start following the same path. But please do, we still need to stop the publication of these pamphlets and keep our culture of victim blaming instead of the same kind of false claims. This is a real problem. As the President has said, we need to be careful in our actions in order to address it head on.
2. That is the point that is most concerning you. This is what you will see when you have your chance. We have seen a lot of women in the United States go where they are not legally allowed to go. So I don’t do think it is good to show what the authorities say, but I really believe that this government should try to take a stand and if there is any question on the question of who should hold these people accountable. I think everybody of the people who stand against Bill or when she says this is just not right and that people who believe in the Bill and others are responsible, they should either be held accountable or be released into their communities and they should have a voice. When the women make that statement they deserve to know that they have been abused at work for twenty years. This cannot be tolerated.
3. Your letter you can read on the other side of that but for the second part I want to point out that if it doesn’t happen to you in this case please do not take that as your excuse. It is not your job to decide what we are going to do next. Every man has a right to his own personal life and every man must stand with his body and body doesn’t matter. Please do your legal responsibility. You have done this for human rights. If it doesn’t happen to you you may be called to trial, but you don’t have to.
