- 871: Teenage Love
- ... her threats. They were just an underhanded ploy to make Tom upset. This is not a mature way of handling a breakup, which is true for most teenage heartbreak. Another incorrect method of recovery is harassment due to obsession. The harasser is the person who, for example, is obsessed with driving by the ex’s house or place of work, calls the other just to hear his or her voice and ... it causes, lack of control, and interference in one’s life and responsibilities. In severe cases, medications can help. As many as one in forty Americans have some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder.

- 873: The Characteristics of Nature in The Scarlet Letter
- ... to describe the interlude between Dimmesdale and Hester. The long passage describes the actions between Hester and Dimmesdale in one of their most woeful times. The passage is often referred to as one with a sexual nature, though this is not clear in Hawthorne’s words. Hawthorne’s words can accurately be referred to as very sensuous and passionate, although not overtly sexual. Hawthorne states, “The boughs were tossing heavily above their heads; while one solemn old tree groaned dolefully to another, as if telling the sad story of the pair that set beneath, or constrained to forebode ...
- 874: Gender Roles In Moderen Advert
- ... watches over 30 hours of television each week²(Coltrone, Adams 1997, 325). These images do not create an accurate image of the modern woman, often demeaning their role in society. Females are depicted as attractive sexual objects, obsessed with appearance and dating; while men are more likely to be shown as aggressive and powerful, accomplishing some all important task(Ruth 1995, 388). Different gender stereotypes are portrayed at different times of ... her in her quest²(Taflinger 1996). The difference between the two types of advertisements is that a women¹s goal is to obtain a man, whereas man¹s goal is to achieve some type of sexual activity. ³This type of advertising leaves women with the indication that men only see them as sex objects, and men find women only seeing them as insensitive and sex crazed animals²(Taflinger,1996). ³Advertisements are ...

- ... the most clearly and often identified causes of AIDS related stigma is its association to deviant behaviour. The disease has had and still does have a strong association for many to homosexuality, IV drug use, sexual promiscuity and other liberations of sexual practice (O’Hare, et al., 1996; Canadian Associacion of Social Workers, 1990; Quam, 1990 & Beauger, 1989). An especially strong association exists between homosexuality and AIDS. This is largely due to the fact that, in the ...

All completed the distortion of sexual roles and released her from her womanly nature (Bloom, 1985, p. 113). This is similar to Barnes' condition. Brett stepped off of the romantic pedestal to stand beside her equals (Bloom, 1985, p. 118). Robert ...
- 877: Controversy In Calvin Klein Advertisements
- ... individual perceives it. Many advertisements seem to give ideas of sex, whether it is on television, in magazines, or on billboards. In advertising today, almost every commercial ad and photo shoot done deals with something sexual. Commercials for some shampoos and conditioners tend to be sexier than some commercials for clothing. For example, there is a commercial ad running right now for “Herbal Essence” shampoo and conditioner that shows a woman ... was just simply for pleasure. Earlier I had mentioned that the problem was the magazine I got this from, because of the age group of women that it is geared towards. This ad is very sexual, and the age group it targets is the same age group that is currently being most infected with the AIDS virus. I am not saying that Calvin Klein is the reason for so many people ...

- 879: The Metamorphosis
- ... the same time it marks the final demise of Gregor. Thus a certain symmetry is to be found in "The Metamorphosis": while Gregor falls in the midst of despair, Grete ascends to a self-sufficient, sexual woman. It is Grete who initially tries conscientiously to do whatever she can for Gregor. She attempts to find out what he eats, to make him feel comfortable, and to anticipate his desires. Grete, in ... are fewer in number and forever changed (Lawson 35). There is a final irony to note in the contrast between Gregor's demise and Grete's awakening. While Grete has developed into an animal whose sexual passage into womanhood needs no language to express its fulfillment, Gregor was the animal whose condition begs the words to explain it. Kafka begins "The Metamorphosis" by remarking that Gregor's transformation is "no dream ...

- ... of just left functional structures. In the area where the eggs were collected, there was multiple female-female pairing and low hatchability of eggs.
