Summarize the following paragraphs in your own words

1. The (NSD), by the 1970s, stressed young men's abnormal sexuality in the speech of the ESG. Sexuality drove young people to the brink of psychosis, where mental perturbation led them down the path of protest and counterculture. Adolescent sexuality undermined national security by predisposing youth to the perturbation that triggered prejudice. Pathologization of bad sexuality complicated its supposed danger, making progressiveness not only the root and result of communist subversion but also a hazard to the mental and physical health of Brazilian youth. Overall, Others during the war would use sexuality as a threat to Brazil.

2. Adolescent sexuality, with its threatening physical and psychiatric processes, undermined national security by predisposing youth to the perturbation that triggered radicalism. Rudolfer was not alone in linking the crisis of youth radicalism to sex. Reports that alleged to treat the issues of national security, violence, and the youth problem focused on sexuality-usually in the form of pornography and potentially put a threat to Brazil's frighteningly vulnerable young people. According to ESG reports, pathological perversion menaced national security by promoting communist-inspired troublemaking and-less directly-by weakening young children.

3. Brazilian high school and university students had emerged as one of the most stubborn sources of opposition to the military regime. In general, drugs tended to prompt the intensity of discipline and hierarchy in the military, but, more specifically, they furthered subversive goals by turning the boys who are available to serve the Patria, or the boys bound for military academies into dependents of the drugs. "Menna Barreto concluded his speech by calling on "the force of all good men" to combat the "virus of disaggregation" that drugs threatened to induce"(Cowen). Mature men uninhibited by the effect of drugs, had to step in to prevent the emasculation of Brazil's newer male generation. The military found the weak before the subversives could and tried to make them strong soldiers and stronger citizens.

4. Those youth who showed any type of weakness, such as homosexual, skinny etc were those that the subversives would try to seduce into their communist ways. There was a sociobiological campaign of sex and drugs to emasculate Brazilian youth and recruit young people to the ranks of subversives. Subversion's sexual agenda, threatened Brazil's national security. Instead of defending the family, society's rightful defense against communist subversion, infiltrated organizations and individuals who were using sex and recklessness to corrupt children, distance them from their parents, and create future subversives. In this view, drugs and sex were dual action weapons of choice.  Any person seen advertising pornography was also seen as a subversive suspect. For communist subversives, a combination of the two could promote the degenerative and premature aging-that would facilitate a communist takeover through newly opened doors.

5. Some techniques were to strengthen the character for the young Brazilian men.  They were taught to find subversives.   It was a plan that refashioned social theories and ideologies from late imperial and early republican Brazil into anticommunist strategies. Luiz Felipe de Azambuja, in 1971, concurred in concept and language: obligatory military service must act as a "barracks that forms soldiers and a school that forges citizens." This double function would strengthen young men and give them with a goal to positively reproduce the new youth to follow anticommunism ways.
