- 462: Othello
- ... In the novel Wiseblood, by Flannery O’Connor, one finds an unpleasant, almost antagonistic view of sexuality. The author seems to regard sex as an evil, and harps on this theme throughout the novel. Each sexual incident which occurs in the novel is tainted with grotesquem.

It is almost as if he has been captured and used by this monstrosity, when it was he who initiated it. It is all the more ironic that it is a female prostitute who is manhandling the male. The ceremony begins as Haze reaches for Leora’s big leg. It is a rather strange action in that he does not making any overt sexual advances towards her.

Would the average person, applying contemporary community standards' find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest? 2. Does the work depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law? 3.

- 465: 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 ...
- 466: Personal Reflections
- ... therapist. I cried when he got to the nice things my Dad did with us. Some nostalgia came back for this ogre called my father. I have certainly hurt more from the loss and the sexual abuse, only to hurt less now on the other side. Many of my feelings were sent underground only to resurface many years later. The problematic consequences were and are suicidal tendencies, manic depression, a withdrawn demeanor, difficult relationships, and sexual promiscuity. I only felt guilt for a short time, but these other things, especially manic depression have stayed with me all these years. Other expressions of my denied feelings identified in Dr. Stearns book on ... I do wrong?! I realize now I have to compromise.

- 467: The Rules of the Game: Andre’s Arrival at La Coliniere
- ... will later be the first to whisk away with Christine, says, “It’s all in the family.” This is the same man who earlier stared at Genevieve’s body up and down in an explicitly sexual manner. The general reproaches him and says they are at La Coliniere to shoot, not “write memoirs.” Renoir cuts again to a large woman gossiping with an effeminate man about whether or no Andre and Christine “have” done anything sexual. After affirming it, the man stares Andre up and down in a sexual manner and declares that it’s too bad, for he’s such a “nice chap.” Both men, like their counterpart Lisette, are representations of the loose sexual morality of their society. Renoir now cuts ...

- 469: The Morality Of Creating Life
- ... of Directors Chair of Christian Ethics, and Professor of Theology at Valparaiso University, author of Religious, Philosophical, and Ethical Perspectives on Cloning: Cloning in Protestant Perspective, believe that cloning is immoral because it takes away sexual reproduction.

Meilaender also believed that when a child is cloned that the child is then constructed ...

- ... men more economic responsibilities (2:233, 240-241; 4:34), while women are expected to play their role in childbearing and rearing (2:233; 7:189). The Qur'an, recognising the importance of this complementary sexual assignment of roles and responsibilities, alleviates the greater economic demands made on male members of the population by allotting them a larger share than women in inheritance. At the same time it grants women the ... of society: the young; the old; the children; the parents; the single and the married; the male and the female. The dual-sex society, by contrast, is a more natural answer to the question of sexual relationships, a plan encouraging co-operation rather than competition between the sexes. It is a plan which has been found suitable in countless societies through history. Only in very recent times did the idea of sexual non-differentiation or identity achieve prominence, and then primarily in the Western society.
