Research Proposal

Education in Japan has been shaken and had many problems these days.
One of the most important promlems is issues related to sex, or sex education.
This paper will explore the histroy and the influence of sex education to consider today's situation of sex education.
It seems that telling the significance of sexual acts to the children is lacking in today's sex education.
Kihara's analysis indicates the youth's unbalaced knowledge of sex (2006). Fruhstuck's paper focuses on the Japanese attitude change towards sex (2003). Cotterill's report shows Japanese unfunctional education related to AIDS problem(2007).These sources seem to validate the thesis of my paper at this stage in my research.
