Indicate whether the statements below are true or false.
Question 1
New Morality refers to the new trend towards getting back to values of the past such as prizing
virginity and abstaining from sex until marriage.
Answer: This statement is false.
Refer: TL 102/2016, pg. 33
Reasoning: Rather than sexuality being regarded as something that has to be denied and/or
controlled, abstained from if unmarried and avoided if wanting to be creative and
productive, the New Morality regards it as a normal drive and as a form of
expression. Sexual standards are no longer considered to be the foundation of a
society’s moral fibre. Human sexuality is acknowledged as a basic human function
that can be expressed in harmless ways. The New Morality evident in developed
nations has begun to challenge previously held sexual attitudes and norms that
were upheld by Jewish-Christian beliefs for centuries.
Question 2
Traumatic events cannot seriously damage the mental health of the people who experience them.
Answer: This statement is false.
Refer: TL 102/2016, pg. 8
Reasoning: Traumatic events may damage the mental health of individuals who experience
them.
Question 3
Children should be taught all biological facts about sex as early as possible.
Answer: This statement is false.
Refer: TL 102/2016, pg. 42
Reasoning: It is important for adults not to overwhelm young children with biological facts
about sex that they cannot understand or have no need to know until they are
older.
Question 4
Indirect traumatisation refers to trauma experienced by witnesses or people close to those who
have experienced trauma.
Answer: This statement is true.
Refer: TL 102/2016, pg. 9
Reasoning: Lewis (1999) asserts that a traumatic event may affect witnesses and those who
have direct contact with the direct victim, which is termed indirect traumatisation.
Question 5
Successful completion of this course qualifies you as a counsellor in the field of sexual trauma.
