- 841: The Beat Generation
- ... series of brutal images which tells the reader how wrong the life of consumption is. In this poem he writes, I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed.... which sets the story line of sexual and chemical usage but, actually it teaches you the consequences. The poem reminded me of Whitmans hellfire ranting and preaching. Ginsberg described his Beat friends as crazy, lonely, psychotics, radicals, pranksters, sexual deviants, and junkies. During this period, Ginsbergs words were labelled offensive and vulgar. Yet, Ginsberg was compelled to write due to the scenes of horror he had witnessed of his young friends broken or ...
- 842: Legislating Sexuality
- ... Alas, there is no reason why a gay couple should not be allowed to adopt a child. Just like marriage, raising a child requires unconditional love, patience and responsibility, virtues that all peoples, regardless of sexual orientation are capable of fulfilling. The groups supporting this law also argued that gay love and marriage is not an example of "family values". The government does not have the right to decree who is ... further and cause even more internal strife. If by enforcing this law the government and conservative groups think they can end the practice of homosexuality, they are mistaken. People are not going to change their sexual orientation because of intolerance. It is only through the education of closed- minded groups that any change for the better can come about. Until this occurs, America is going to sink deeper and deeper into ...
- 843: Should There Be Stricter Laws on Pornography?
- ... over the counter. Although there are many similar ideas among the three articles, there are also many differences between them. Brownmiller states, "In 1973 materials were judged obscene if they depict patently offensive, hard-core sexual conduct; lack serious scientific, literary, artistic or political value; and appeal to the prurient interest of an average person as measured by contemporary community standards"(573). It used to be obvious to determine if something ... this evidence, the commission claims that it is impossible to prove that pornography leads to later sex crimes. They also add that empirical research cannot define a reliable way to prove that exposure to explicit sexual materials causes delinquent or criminal behavior among youth or adults. Although all three editorial were effective in presenting their side of the issue, Susan Jacoby's article, "I am a First Amendment Junkie", had the ...

- ... can think of very crumby stuff I wouldn't mind doing if the opportunity came up" (62). Although Holden honestly states to the reader that he is a virgin; he still has encounters associated with sexual activity. First and foremost, Holden actually obtains a prostitute during a brief stay at a hotel room. Holden never has sexual intercourse with this woman, but it does show that he is a teenager looking for affection and pleasure. Also, he proclaimed that he had plenty of opportunities to "give the time" (32) to other women ...
- 845: No Name Woman: Bewitching Creation
- ... speculates about the nature of her aunt, a woman in China who killed herself over the shame she brought to her strict, conservative family by becoming pregnant out of wedlock. Both Kinston and Gation express sexual morality as artistic freedom. Gation used his work and business to express himself where as Kingston used her writing to express and understand her sexual "magnitude". " It could very well have been, however, that my aunt did not take subtle enjoyment of her friend, but, a wild woman, kept rollicking company... I don't know any woman like that, or ...
- 846: Teens and Sex
- ... at high schools, then the students would be more inclined to use them. They would have them or be able 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 ...
- 847: 1984
- ... be detected or caught, at least in he beginning. One thing Winston did was keeping a diary. A diary was of the more serious thought crimes. In his diary, it is pointed out of his sexual frustrations, along with the displeasure of society as a whole. In his diary, he expresses that he longs for the pleasures of the past that were once allowed but no longer due to the power ... lead to his final downfall. Winston later goes on and meets a woman named Julia. He knows what he is doing is definitely wrong and is a crime but his dissatisfaction with life and his sexual frustration lead him to the wrong conclusion.

- 848: Adolescent Suicide
- ... or behavior. Students who have already had a lot of stress in their lives are going to be at a higher risk, also. Stressors include divorce, parent arguments, family difficulty, rejection, abuse, (physical and/or sexual), violence, (i.e. rape or incest), feared pregnancy, and alcohol or drug misuse. A loss of a meaningful person, whether it is through death, divorce, a break up, or suicide, chronic depression or metal illness ... or rewards. Attempted suicides do not usually happen unexpectedly. There are signals to look for. Withdrawing, not wanting to be touched, sudden weight change, running away, not normal risk taking, loss of sense of humor, sexual promiscuity, an inability to enjoy friends, self-mutilation, and extreme dependency on a particular person are all warning symptoms to look for. A direct statement, such as, "I wish I were dead", or "I'm ...
- 849: Chinese Foot Binding
- ... out of the sympathy for Empress Taki who had club feet.

They were told that looking at an unwrapped bound foot would forever destroy their aesthetic ...
- 850: Silent Dancing: Memories of Childhood
- ... m sure an edict against playground games amongst young children would certainly be issued. It was the beginning of something we could tell would occupy much of our soon to be adolescent lives. The latent sexual tension had already started to surface as boys and girls began to notice the differences between one another, and began to act according to those differences. It was confusing at first, as hair was pulled ... and I got a taste of what was to come in my adolescence. It prepared me quite well, I think, for the social interaction of dating. It seemed innocent enough, but it was our first sexual revolution, a revolution in thinking and feeling that would influence the way we spent the rest of our formative years. I think back to these carefree and exploratory days in trying to sort through my ...
