- 431: To Kill A Mocking Bird 2
- ... her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature. They're for there were lot of races of all times. One example of races is social, sexual, and racial. Social is also a prejudice too. Many people skip over this word and thank that prejudice is racial or even sexual. People can't help sometime that they are prejudice in social. People do it all the time and don't thank about what they are really saying. For an example is when Scout is confused ... thing with blacks and she thanks it is different. Why I don't know, but that is a good example in my Apennine. One of the other prejudice things that happen in this book was sexual. Women were not aloud to sit on the jury because their place was in the home. In the book it shows that in early 1900, women did not have much rights. Their place was ...
- 432: Comparison Of The Swimmer And
- ... think that the water is something powerful, yet peaceful, which is an extraordinary combination. The exquisite detailing used by Klein in describing the interaction of man and water, is at first glance a symbolism for sexual interaction between man and woman. After deeper examination, it appears that what Klein is actually trying to say is that the bather in the poem is taking great pleasure in his time in the water, but this pleasure is not sexual. Instead, I believe this poem s unique message to this reader is that it is important to take time off for one to find himself, whether he seems to be like a bird or a ... does not, then that moment could pass them by. Proof of this is found in the speed of the man entering or plunging into the water, as if he is desperate. Whether this time is sexual in nature is debatable, but it is obvious that the swimmer is acting most earnestly. However, one thing that is significant in Layton s work is the final line, where the last wave throws ...
- 433: Hysteria 2
- ... to stay out of family affairs, when involved would side with his mother over Dora or her father. This fits well with Freuds oedipal theories. In fact much of Freuds analysis of Dora uncovered ‘repressed’ sexual desires. Around the age of eight Dora began to develop neurotic symptoms. Their family doctor diagnosed the ailments as strictly mental and not physical. This is the precursor to her hysteria, as hysteria is strictly ... e., paralysis and hydrophobia as seen in the case study of Anna O. (another of Freud’s successful patients.) (Appignanesi, 29-31) The basic factors of Doras hysteria are as follows. She has a repressed sexual attraction to her father (back to the oedipal complex, which Freud uses to describe the hysteria) her father is having an affair with ‘Frau K.’ Her mother therefore receives no sexual pleasure from her husband/Dora’s father. While Frau K. and Dora’s father have the affair Herr K. (Frau K’s husband) is trying to have a sexual relationship with Dora. Dora’s ...
- 434: The Function of Profanity in Modern English
- ... first two are of Anglo- Saxon origin and date from c.1000 and c.1250, respectively. Piss, however, is of Norman French origin and dates from c.1290. Fuck is a well-known word for sexual intercourse, and cock and cunt are slang, if not profane, terms for the male and female organs involved in this activity. All three are of unknown origin, and date from c.1500 for fuck and ... to the genital/anal area. Fuck has its own category among these six words, sex (although that does admittedly have a lot to do with cunt and cock). It is used as a synonym for sexual intercourse as well as an expletive (i.e. "Fuck that!") and a derogatory term for someone (i.e. "She's a lazy fuck"). Cock and cunt are alternate words for the male and female sexual organs, respectively. They are also both used as derogatory names. Clearly, these definitions illustrate how graphic these terms are, and how closely linked they are to activities and objects most societies categorize as taboo. ...
- 435: Gangsta Rap: Crime
- ... suicide. Hollywood, the country's Mecca for TV and movies, is another contaminated disaster area. This area has given us hero's such as Clint Eastwood, Humphrey Bogart, and Bruce Willis. Once filmmakers would evoke sexual interests through eye contact or a touch of the leg. Today cinematographers resort to graphic sexual acts and horrific beatings. A poll by Newsweek stated that sexual moderation and fidelity are normal for both married people and for those who live together. In contrast, 7 out of 8 televised sexual encounters involve extramarital sex (Newsweek, 1994). This trend is startling when ...
- 436: The Lottery-right Or Wrong
- ... Slaughter offers her summary of Edmund Wilson's repeated criticism of The Turn of the Screw. Slaughter says that, in agreement with Wilson, Peter Quint was in actuality a character created by the governess' own sexual desires, inspired by her "crush" on the Uncle of the children. Slaughter is also quick to point out "sexual references" in the novel. These examples are "Quint on the tower; Miss Jessel at the lake; Flora's toy boat, which she created by pushing a stick into a small flat piece of wood."(212 ... Slaughter and Wilson are trying to draw something that just isn't there. While their imagination is quite impressive, I think that if you took any novel ever written, you could find twice as many "sexual references", which in my opinion are merely coincidence, if that at all. Finally, Mark Spilka essentially agrees with Slaughter and Wilson, referring to Miss Jessel's hallucinations as "sexual ghosts"(248). I think that ...
- 437: Nurture Plus Nature
- ... focus on the actual importance, and necessity of proper nurturing in childhood development (Turecki). Studies on the early developing years in children show how effects of various environmental situations can cause mixed attitudes, personalities, beliefs, sexual preference, and other behavioral patterns in children (Turecki & Adams). For example, studies have been conducted on whether children that have been raised by single parents are going to develop differently than if both natural parenting ... life, the influence of the upbringing environment doesn't overshadow the hereditary source of behavior (Rathus p.112). Extreme concern has also risen about the effects of such traumatic childhood events and genetical characteristics on sexual orientation. The subject of gay or lesbian parenting is also a major concern not only in psychology, but for many people around the world. Psychologists wonder if the affects of this erratic situational difference will result in a inner-conflict between a child's hereditary instincts and environmental behavior. Although the factors of genetics may have a small deciding component to sexual orientation, psychologist John Money, concluded that "sexual orientation is not under the direct governance of chromosomes and genes" (Rathus p.367-368). Children from these conditions have usually been found to acquire a more ...

When discussed in detail with young children, it can help them to have a better understanding of the life processes. If a parent fails to discuss with the child the risks of sexual relationships, the child may turn to peers for information. The peers, too, may be uneducated, therefore giving false feedback. This could prove to be very dangerous if the child should become sexually active. A population ... sex education in the public schools has caused much debate, the majority of the adult population stands behind teaching it(Seligmann 23). Statistics showthat 73 percent of boys and 56 percent of girls have had sexual intercourse before their eighteenth birthday(Friedman 76). Parents believe that bringing sex ed classes into schools will lower these numbers and teach children that abstaining is acceptable. Many programs are taught strictly for the ...

- ... and Julia rebel against the Party by having sex. But then these feelings change and a beautiful relationship begins to evolve. Julia only had sex with the party members if he could have a real sexual relationship with her it would be his victory over the party as the aim of the party was to not merely to prevent men and women from forming loyalties but the undeclared purpose was to remove all the pleasures from the sexual act." The only recognized purpose of the marriage was to beget children for the service of the party. Sexual intercourse was to be looked as a slightly disgusting moor operation, like having an enema."(p-57) Sexual frustration leads to hysteria which the party wanted so that the people would throw themselves totally ...
