The Effects Of Divorce
.... term functioning of the
children after divorce varies widely. Wallerstein and Kelly (1980) observed and
interviewed parents and children three times in five years, and reported an
estimate of one third of the children come out of divorce unharmed. Another one
third function adequately, but experience difficulties, and the remaining one
third have severe upsets in their developmental process. However the authors of
the "Family in Transition", approach this finding with caution because the
conclusions were .....

Female Dominance Or Male Failure?
.... comedy.” (Rosengarten and Flick, 340) It's interesting that he
attributes nature as a female creator and thus justifying the relationship that “
none of the females of any species she created cared very much for the males.”
(p 340)
Thurber compares the similarities of courtship to the complicated works
of Encyclopedia Brittanica. A book which is full of wonders and within lies
mysteries of the unknown and unpredictable. In comparison to the Encyclopedia
Brittanica the female is alike in many ways .....

Fetishism
.... later theorized
that the fetish was a fear of castration on the part of the male. He believed
that the association with the penis to the female reproductive organ was a
reminder to men that castration is possible. This anxiety would cause the
fetishist to associate his or her sexual desire with another body part or object.
By doing this he or she can link sexual experience with another part and
forget about infertility, humiliation, or anxiety. Usually the desire is linked
closely to the genitals, .....

Sexual Harassment: For Sex Or Money?
.... to do it, and the act was totally
innocent. The first grader was suspended for a day for sexual harassment. I am
really glad that I did not go to that school when I was six. I would have been
expelled. To tell a little boy that it is amoral to kiss anyone on the cheek is
wrong. To punish him for it shows a situation that has gone completely out of
control. The boy did not even know what sex was, much less how to harass
someone with it! If it takes these extreme measures to keep harassment out of

Gender Stereotypes
.... of course does not mean that parents are
affected less by the TV. On the contrary, they are often more affected than
their kids, of course not by cartoons, but by shows that contain information
about serious subjects such as parenthood. Concerned with being good parents,
people are accumulating a lot of information on the subject. As the information
can be very helpful, sometimes it can be destructive. That is the case when it
comes to the problem of "tomboys" and "sissies." What are these two terms .....

Same Sex Parents
.... financially security, emotional stability, and “proper” role models.
Judge Judith S. Kaye wrote that “...adoption is a means of securing the best
possible home for a child” (Facts on File 894). Some might argue that the child
would be lacking the father in a lesbian couple and a mother in a gay couple.
Sure, little Joey might not have a male role-model around the house, but all the
kids raised by single mothers seem to be okay. Children who lose a parent and
are raised in single parent households are no .....

Incest
.... as is that sexual intercourse does not
need to occur for a situation to be considered incestuous. Stroking, fondling,
or even intimately kissing can be considered incest. This is not all true for
the law's definition. In Georgia, incest is defined as any sexual intercourse
between known relatives, by blood or by marriage, (meaning a step-parent and
step-child.) Incest laws basically exist to prohibit marriage or inbreeding
between family members, and the sentences are almost never carried out. (Kosof,
pg 5 .....

The Influence Of Parents On Their Children's Sexual Orientation
.... with an opposite-sex
parent and copying their behavior, this coupled with a distant same-sex parent
makes the argument even more believable. It is also possible that homosexual
parents reinforce certain types of behavior, either homo- or heterosexual
(Bailey 125-126).
Some say that hormones affect the sexuality of children, which may be
inherited from the parents. For example, an anatomical difference in the
hypothalamus of homosexual men has recently been identified, but the reason for
this differ .....

Intimacy
.... If we hadn't, our living conditions would
have become understandably tenuous. The development of relationships and
intimacy has some very definitive steps. The first step is initiating which is
making contact with the other person and showing that you are the kind of person
worth talking to. Our relationship was initiated as soon as I was brought into
this world and facilitated by the fact that we were brother and sister. The
next step is experimenting which is deciding whether we want to pursue a
rela .....

Legislating Sexuality

Proclamation, slavery was prohibited. Women gained the right to vote with the
ratification of the Constitution's nineteenth amendment on August 26, 1920(Cooke,
157). Although African Americans gained suffrage through the fifteenth amendment
in 1870 (Cooke, 151), it was not until the passing of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 that they were actually freed from discrimination by the government(Cooke,
150). Why is it then that in today's modern American society, an institut .....

Love In Today's Society
.... freedom is very interesting in our first representation to the
last. My goal is to show how love has changed. I hope to show what is accepted
in our society today, compared with only several decades ago.
Application
My sources run the gamut of ideas in the subject of love. I think
Auden's poem is the best representation of what has been termed “courtly love.”
This seems logical, since this Romantic Era type of love was a pre-cursor to
what we know as modern love. The author takes the tr .....

Men And Women
.... your
decision making, your thoughts, ideas, and dreams. You may think something is
terrible while someone else does not even care and yet another person may laugh,
why? The answer is simple, everyone has his own identity and personality.
Everyone feels, acts, thinks, and dreams differently. People may have some of
these things in common with one another, but they will not be totally the same,
it is like a fingerprint, unique.
There are many origins to a person's identity, their family, frie .....

Emotional And Rational Appeals

their participation. Subjects in the experiment were assigned to the cells of a

or weak argument quality). Subjects were in groups of two to six.
After this step was established, eight messages in approximately equal
length were developed. Each message contained six arguments that were either in
favor or against using animals for research purposes. Rational and emotional
were used in .....

Sex In The Net!
.... or video store, pornography can be
purchased in any form or media. I know children, some as young as ten years,
who have an unlimited supply of pornography. They have been exposed to it from
an early age and it has become an addiction like smoking or drinking. Part of
the problem is that censorship laws are not enforced. Some newsagents will sell
a twelve year old, pornography, (legal age of 18) but will not sell them a
packet of cigarettes (legal age of 16 until June 1994). The obvious derivative
