sexual behavior towards young girls. Though Moore has denied any illegal behavior, he has not denied attempting to date or have sex with teenagers while he was an adult male. Moreover, this behavior seems to have been well-known in his area and was so pervasive that Moore was actually banned from some public places because of his behavior towards young girls. What is most amazing is that, while the national GOP has asked for Moore to step down from the race, his base does not seem to find these allegations… Continue Reading...
a movie containing material related to class topics: alternative sexual behaviors as covered in the chapters in your textbook. (Movie may be recently released or one on TV.) Submit a brief, written reflection on how any or all of the concepts were implemented within the story line of the movie. In your reflection discuss: What was the movie? To whom did it apply? What were the sexuality issues? Specifics?

development, and the participant with self-identification during adolescence reported earlier sexual attraction and sexual behavior as compared to those with self-identification during adulthood.
Delving further, Calzo et al. (2011) examined the aspect of timing of sexual orientation milestones in a group of sexual minorities. In general, results of the study indicated that younger participants and a great deal of older participants were categorized to the early profile. This suggested that early development is a common aspect irrespective of age cohort. As pointed out by Cochran and Mays (2006), the augmentation of sexuality saliency in the course of transitions to adolescence, the concerns for… Continue Reading...
Other studies substantiate the mirroring effect, whereby children who watch pornography repeat what they see on the video or the images. This could lead to the types of high risk sexual behaviors that lead to a child's being exposed to sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. Moreover, exposure to pornography has been shown to be a risk factor in comorbid mental health issues such as intimacy disorders, mood disorders, and substance abuse disorders (Ross, 2012). To mitigate the effects of pornography exposure, parents need to take a more active role in their child's education and educators also need to take responsibility for informing children as young as they are able to understand what the difference is between healthy sexuality and unhealthy… Continue Reading...
was simply catching a ride home and even though she made no sexual advances or engaged in voluntary sexual behavior with the man, she felt shame. That is a rather startling cultural and societal flaw, although its genesis would be hard to pinpoint without more information. Regardless, the fact that she felt shame despite the fact that she was clearly the victim is rather startling to say the least (Dedel, 2017).
Even with the fact that she shied away from filing charges, forensic evidence was indeed collected within the proper window. However, the apparent rule is that if a crime is not reported within 90 days, the evidence… Continue Reading...
oral stage would theoretically predispose one to have some type of oral fetish. Abnormal sexual behavior can be traced to fixation or stagnation, a neurosis that is due to a previous difficulty at one of the stages of development.
Freud’s theory is interesting, certainly, and has its own internal logic. However, Freud’s model is not at all scientific. Freud also focused almost exclusively on male libido, being personally perplexed by female sexual desire and by women in general (“Modules on Freud: On Psychosexual Development,” n.d.). Without any substantial research to back up his theories, Freud’s work remains theoretical. Therefore, I do not necessarily agree… Continue Reading...
moment. While this is an encouraging event and people in the workplace should not allow sexual behavior or gender/sexual identity to become an issue, there is still a lot of ignorance and prejudice out there towards women and other people that remain persecuted for gender or sexual issues.
Analysis
There is no doubt that what makes people different is too often a divisive and disruptive force in the workplace. While one might hope that arguments and disagreement do not come up in the workplace, they happen and they absolutely happen along social lines. Whether it be race, gender, sexuality or other things, what makes people… Continue Reading...
the state to restrict free speech, sexual behavior, or other personal, private choices. However, since Mill wrote, even a number of sympathetic philosophers have found the harm principle to be problematic because of its failure to consider social consequences of apparently self-injurious activities. [1: David Brink, "Mill's Moral and Political Philosophy," The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2016, https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/win2016/entries/mill-moral-political/>.] [2: Ibid.]
Further Elucidation of the Harm Principle
First and foremost, to critique the harm principle, it is essential to understand what constitutes harm in Mill's estimation. A harm is something far more serious than what Mill categorizes… Continue Reading...
significant nudity, sexual behavior, and violence, it also featured a significant amount of sexual assault and even incest. While these events may have been true to the depictions in the novels, they also ensured that even though the show was wildly popular, it was not for every viewer.
Main Characters
The complexity of the plot is one of the things that fans of the series love, but the more complex the plot, the more main characters one can expect, and Game of Thrones certainly supports that idea. It has what may… Continue Reading...
influence sexuality. Expectations of the society as to how a gender is to behave affect their sexual behaviors and feelings. The need to act in a way that is consistent to society's norms can limit one's expression of their sexuality. Second, sexuality ideologies aid in controlling women. Controlling women's and girl's sexuality is linked to the control of resources. These controls limit women's expression of traits the society doesn't consider feminine. Third, gender expectations regarding sexuality affect health and access to services. Research indicates that marginalization of women can lead them to entering heterosexual relationships where they enjoy less economic might than their lovers. Gender expectations… Continue Reading...
negative health impact. These factors include low wages, unstable family life, risky sexual behavior, drug and alcohol abuse, high crime, low education, obesity, diabetes, and poor access to health care (Boyer et al., 2017; Guariguata, 2014; Osborn, Squires, Doty, Sarnak & Schneider, 2016). Low income adults, therefore, are at risk of not receiving the proper health education they need to maintain healthy lifestyle; they are at risk of lacking a cogent support system to maintain a healthy lifestyle; they are at risk of not having adequate access to health care, whereby they maintain obtain necessary health education and preventive care.
