Ignatz Kerscher, Lüneburg:
Wandel der Sexualmoral und Sexualerziehung in Deutschland
(Changes in Sexual Morals and Sexual Education in Germany)
The traditional values in sex education have become questionable in the light of such phenomena as globalization, multicultural mixing of populations, religious variety within one nation, and plurality of life styles and subcultures.
In this age of post-modernism, sexuality education must give answers to questions of ethical-moral standards, avoiding the pitfalls of Eurocentricity and fundamentalist "sole representationism" of the Western-Christian-Capitalist value system.
In this, the "Declaration of Sexual Rights" as adopted by the General Assembly of the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) August 26, 1999, in Hong Kong (People's Republic of China) may offer orienting guidance (s. DGSS Home Page).
