- 801: Same-Sex Marriage
- ... We need to ponder our own choices and try to understand the choices of others. Love has many shapes and colors and is not finite. It can not be measured or defined in terms of sexual orientation. (From the Statement of Affirmation and Reconciliation by the Quaker Meeting in Aotearoa, New Zealand.) Even though is it thought by many that marriage is mainly a religious agreement, it also creates a legal ... to one study that is based only on half of a percent of Americans who had a homosexual parent, they were more likely to have had sex with a parent, experience homosexuality as their first sexual encounter, be sexually molested, become homosexual or bisexual, and report dissatisfaction with their childhood.

- ... other differences in several areas as caused for breaking up, including differences in interests, hobbies, outside of the home activities, religion, intelligence, and education. Almost two-sixth percent of the men and women felt their sexual attitudes contributed to the separation.

An important wife should stay with in the traditional roles ...
- 803: Television Censorship
- ... institutions: the family, the church, and the state. Censorship and the ideology supporting it go back to ancient times. Every society has had customs, taboos, or laws by which speech, play, dress, religious observance, and sexual expression were regulated(Microsoft Encarta 95)." CENSORSHIP OF OBSCENITY "The beginning of a new legal approach may be traced to the action of the federal courts in the 1930s, when they held that Irish author ... the Supreme Court. In the cases during the 1970s the court ruled that laws against obscenity must be limited " to works which, taken as a whole, appeal to the prurient interest in sex; which portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way; and which, taken as a whole, do not have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." The Court has further held that obscenity should be determined by applying "contemporary ...

- 805: Aids In Africa
- ... if the World Health Organisation has its way. Encouraging men to use condoms, it has decided, is not enough. They work, but many men dislike them; and women, especially very young ones, often lack the sexual bargaining clout to insist. Instead, the WHO believes, pharmaceutical companies could have still-to-be-perfected microbicidal vaginal gels or sprays on the market within two years--if they are given a bit of a ... spermicide called nonoxynol-9. Results were mixed. It seemed to give results in Cameroon and Zambia, but some Kenyan prostitutes developed ulcers, which might make infection easier rather than more difficult. But a prostitute's sexual life is hardly typical; and other products or other methods of use might prove better. For any product to be acceptable, says Eka Esu-Williams, the Nigerian president of the Society for Women and AIDS ...
- 806: Censorship From "Obscene" Material
- ... watered down their genes because the less intelligent ones... have the most children." Another episode of self-imposed censorship is when George Michael released his song "I Want Your Sex." In 1987, AIDS and other sexual diseases were rampantly spreading and his song condoned casual sex. The MTV executives also sent the video for this song back because of the explicit, sexual images. A third incident happened when MTV drew the line again, this time with Madonna's video for "Justify My Love." They said that the video illustrates Madonna's erotic fantasies. It was said to ...
- 807: Margaret Sanger
- ... s penal code declared that physicians could distribute contraceptive information for the cure and prevention of disease. Margaret knew that, legally, the law was intended for men; to protect them from the diseases acquired through sexual contact, but she believed that the law could be interpreted to include women who were susceptible to disease and death from too much childbearing. She was in desperate need of money and turned to rich ... After following her around the globe on one of her many speaking tours, Noah proposed marriage to Margaret. Not eager to make the same mistake twice, Margaret set forth some conditions (that included financial and sexual independence as well as the use of her own last name). Slee agreed to her terms and they were wed in 1922; it is not surprising that he also became the main founder of Margaret ...
- 808: Rosa Parks
- ... of Fame1). Her arrest served as a catalyst for a massive boycott for public busses. Led by Martin Luther King, for 381 days, African Americans carpooled, walked, or found other ways of transportation. Despite the harassment everyone involved in the movement faced, the boycott continued and was extremely successful. The bus company suffered from the loss of fares, but did not desegregate its busses. In 1965, the case was brought to ... very different from Atticus Finch's stand in To Kill A Mockingbird. Their reasons for taking a stand are generally the same, they wanted to help their societies. Both knew they would face criticism and harassment, yet they still tried to make a change. Although the times were different and they were two different people, they both tried to change a backwards society. Instead of people being equal in the "land ...
- 809: The Storm Within
- ... Within The title of Kate Chopins story The Storm suggests a metaphorical connection between the storm outside and the storm of emotions going on between the individuals Calixta and Alcee. The intensity of their sexual act inside the house follows the pattern of the storm outside. Their passion climaxes and diminishes with the storm. They are left replenished and fresh just like nature. The storm outside had been brewing for ... for Alcee to extinguish the raging storm present inside both of them.

- ... their current admission to prison. Males given the same survey resulted in only 12.2 percent reporting abuse. From my psychology background I can easily state that men are 45 percent less likely to admit sexual abuse, and a fair amount of those physically abused do not recognize it as abuse. I also present the question, "Are you not ultimately responsible for your own actions?" If you can not control these ... shame that men are lumped together with only the benefit of a few psychology behavioral surveys damning them. But I guess, what can you expect from a world still caught up with racial tension and sexual discrimination at the top of everyone's thought process. If we were to actually punish those who score high on these surveys, you'd have to throw away the key twice on black men. I ...
