Violence And Pornography
.... my
fantasies under-cover. Pornography was a means of unlocking the evil I had
burried inside myself˙ (Leidholdt 47). Is it possible that pornography is
acting as the key to unlocking the evil in more unstable minds?
According to Edward Donnerstein, a leading researcher in the pornography
field, ˙the relationship between sexually violent images in the media and
subsequent aggression and . . . callous attitudes towards women is much stonger
statistically than the relationship between smoking and cancer˙ ( .....

Pornography
.... television,
on CD-ROM, and even the internet, and can range from "soft-core", depicting
natural poses and action, to "hard-core", or depicting sex combined with
violence, that any reasonable, decent, well-adjusted human being would
recognize as horrible and disgusting. Much pornography is socially acceptable,
with few people actively speaking out against it.
Pornography can be bought at many "adult" or "adult novelty" shops. One
only has to listen to any popular local radio station after 8 P.M. to .....

Sexism-Patriarchy
.... has drastically reduced, subtle
discrimination is however, still quite prevalent in our society. Salary is one
aspect of this still present discrimination, a vast majority of women employed
in the work force today receive less of a paycheck for the same amount of hours
worked on the same jobs as men. This is reinforced by the low number of women
who have a high paying, high powered job. There are a significantly higher
number of women who have little or no power in decision making and earn a low
salary. .....

Greek myths, Zeus is a sexually-active person, “It has been estimated that,
besides his legal wife Hera, Zeus had over 100 women.” (Reinhold,80) Poseidon is
also sexually obtrusive. For instance, Poseidon loved Demeter. When Demeter
transformed herself into a mare, Poseidon changed himself into a stallion and
chased after Demeter. Today, the boys always fond of dating many girls who they
love. “From the male's point of view there simply aren't enough females to go
around with .....

-Demands for sex accompanied by threats of termination
-Demands for sex in return for preferential treatment

Should There Be Stricter Laws On Pornography?
.... appeared in Newsday, a Long Island newspaper
in 1979, and in Take Back the Night, a collection of essays against pornography.
These articles are geared towards audiences who have an interest in the issue of
pornography.
Despite the authors contrasting viewpoints, there are many similarities.
Brownmiller feels that pornography is the result of women's bodies being
dehumanized for pleasure. She also feels that pornography is commercially
advertising the female body being raped, tortured and mutilated. .....

Swinger's Not Just On Playgrounds Anymore
.... in learning about
relationships, meeting new friends and for exposure to something new. One of
the most common misconceptions is that people come just to have sex. However,
this is an option at Dave and Dawn's club. Their club is known as an ‘on-site'
club. This means that Dave and Dawn provide bedrooms for their members'
enjoyment.
"Ours is an on-premise club. We have bedrooms where sex does take place,
but only if it is consensual. We do not force our activities on anyone," Dave
said.
Dave adds .....

Teens And Sex
.... to get them if they need to use
them. This would cut down on unprotected sexual intercourse and prevent the
pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and H.I.V. infection. If a student
was at a party and decided, on the spur of the moment, to engage in sexual
intercourse, then it is more likely that they have a condom if schools
distributed them. This sounds good in theory, but will it really work? If
schools distribute condoms, shouldn't they also teach the students how to use
them and teach them a .....

The Feelings Of Falling In Love
.... when thinking about this person. Although this sounds very sexual, this
feeling is just the first of what will most likely become a sexual passion.
When in this first state of attraction, your body feels different - more bouncy,
more energetic, and in need of less food and sleep. When in this state of
attraction, one feels very happy and different every time that they are with
this person. Frequently the presence (or sometimes merely thought) of the
loved one can evoke specific physiological .....

Overcoming Marital Conflict
.... sexual relationship. Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) wrote in
The New Spirit, "The omnipresent process of sex, as it is woven into the whole
texture of our man's or woman's body, is the pattern of all the process of life".
This leads me to believe our sexuality is the core to ourselves.
Unfortunately there are so many variants between men and women emotionally that
unavoidable conflicts will surface in the bedroom. Adam and Eve are the only
union who ever had the freedom of entering marriage and love .....

On Campuses, Students Confront A Growing Racial Divide
.... saying a racial slur or two
towards them, but not loud enough that they would hear it. Or, I have seen the
same thing vise-versa.
Institutional racism plays a big role on campus. One example is at the
Metropolitan Institution of Technology where a group of African Americans took
over three dormitory floors and named it “chocolate city.” It is clear when an
ethnic group of any kind says that their group can live there and nobody else,
that is Institutional racism.
One thing that is being done about ra .....

A Fight!
.... but by the end of the class, it was
getting serious. This continued for about 3 weeks, then one day they were in the
same class as each other, again throwing comments at each other when one said to
the other; "lets take this out side". Everyone around them urged them to fight
so after the class that's exactly what they did. Arms were flying everywhere,
the other students were shouting anger at them to hurt each other more, and more.
I remember standing there helplessly wanting to stop them, but knew if .....

Goals And Accomplishing Your Dreams
.... accomplish your dreams, you must first face adversity in the eye and
conquer your fears. For me personally, training to be a lawyer will take time
and commitment. I must constantly look at where I am now and evaluate where I
need to go from here. There will never be a time in your life where you are at
the top. You must keep climbing the ladder of success. Fortunately I know that.
I have a good G.P.A., but I know there is always someone smarter than me, so I
continue to expand my knowledge.

Two Kinds Of People On Campus: Party Animal And The Sober Guy
.... hand, the sober guy is always on time for class, awake, and without a
hangover.
The party animal is usually a popular guy. People are always saying hi to
him or waving to him on campus. Most of the time he doesn't even remember who
they are. The sober guy goes to class and that's it. He usually has the business
before pleasure attitude. Once finished with the days studies he will then hang
out with his friends.
These are just two stereotypes of people on campus. They are almost
exact oppo .....
