- 513: My Belief about Gay and Lesbian Families
- ... heterosexual families ; therefore, the desire to be a parent is not only for heterosexuals. Gays, like non-gays, are often inclined toward parenthood.

Course in sexuality should be mandatory therefore, society would be enlightened, like myself, as to what homosexuality is and is not.

- 515: What Does Shakespeare Have To
- ... opinions. As the play unfolds we begin to see several themes evolving, although some of Shakespeare's views appear to contradict one another. For example, the Nurse and Mercutio believe that love can only be sexual whilst we see the complete opposite of this in Romeo and Juliet's powerful love for one another. Why does Shakespeare do this? Is it to confuse the reader so that they think more about ... the Nurse is capable of true affection although it is obvious that she does not believe in romantic love. This disbelief of romantic love is obvious as the Nurse's speeches are often littered with sexual innuendoes, telling Juliet that 'bigger women grow by men' and on hearing of Juliet's possible marriage to Paris giving her the advice to 'seek happy nights to happy days.' The Nurse's sense of humour is obviously in line with Mercutio's as he too cannot resist making sexual jokes which are often puns saying 'raise a spirit in his mistress' circle' and also joking at the Nurses's expense calling her 'a bawd'. Mercutio's love of punning carries right through to ...
- 516: Compare And Contrast
- ... come. As the years go by between generation and generation, one facet has remained a controversial topic, sex. The invention of the birth control pill allowed women in the 60s to feel a sense of sexual freedom and allowed them the opportunity to be with anyone they pleased. With this new found freedom, women and men were able to enjoy each others company and not have to worry about the risks of child birth as well as the spread of diseases. This helped the 60s to become known as the sexual revolution. In those times it was the thing to do, and with the newly added birth control pill, there was hardly any worry of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and babies. Whether its ... only had access to the birth control pill, the 90s generation has access to tons of contraceptives for the prevention of childbirth and the spread of diseases. I feel that in regards to sex and sexual freedom, the 90s generation is just like the Hippies. In fact, the 90s generation has the Hippies to thank for paving the road for them to where it is now. Because without the ideas ...
- 517: Real Meaning Of LIfe
- ... accepting that human nature and morality are adaptations too threatens the very foundation of religion! I mean, one can't read the Bible or the Koran with all of its bizarre rules (cultural adaptations) on sexual morality, and not find them to be almost a crude parody of evolutionary psychology. Adaptationist theory, esp. on sexual morality or TIT FOR TAT, I think, clearly implies that our concepts of good and evil are arbitrary- they're not universal absolutes handed down to us by some father-figure god. Consider how much of our morality revolves around sex. And yet, most of that sexual morality is based on selfish-gene adaptations "meant" to promote population growth (for civilization); and to guarantee male paternity of children in order to promote two-parent child rearing. Where's the absolute good ...

- ... the later periods of time, a species creates genes that increase its ability to survive and reproduce in its habitat. Natural selection consists of three types of selections. One, directional selection. Two, stabilizing selection. Finally, sexual selection. Direction selection creates new features that aid a species to adapt to its environment. Directional selection produces a never ending change in the species toward the more complex characteristic. Under the circumstance that a ... The most common form of natural selection can most likely be stabilizing selection. Species who favor mates who display certain types of behavior or have certain physical features tend to fall under the category of sexual selection.

Another example, is that many males of different species of birds have more variety of colors in their feathers than females. Genetic drift represents the ...
- 519: The Treatment of a Women in Sports
- ... 155). Female athletes in traditionally masculine sports challenge the social status quo of what proper behavior should be for females, for most the reasoning then goes, "there must be something wrong with them". Focusing on sexual orientation unfairly denies women opportunities in sports on the basis of personal preferences irrelevant to athletic abilities. According to Mariah Burton Nelson, in her book, Are We Winning Yet? "Homophobia in sports serves as a ... from pursuing traditionally "masculine" activities such as contact sports and team sports for fear of being labeled a homosexual" (Nelson 145). Only one well-known woman athlete, Martina Navratilova, has dared to bring her personal sexual preference out in the open. Even then, however, Navratilova lost corporate endorsements because of her sexuality. Homophobia in sports not only causes discrimination against lesbians, but it also hurts all women by heightening the stereotype ... meanings which still threaten women's participation and enjoyment in sports today. The only way that we will seek true equity is in reconstructing or redefining the ideology of masculinity and femininity. By, not incorporating sexual preference, and or stereotyping people because of what society has labeled them merely for their appearance or what is deemed "masculine". This is ultimately what denies women opportunities based on something that is irrelevant ...
