The homosexual community in China faces discrimination and is treated with less respect as compared to the heterosexuals. The older people in China are rigid and refuse to change their negative perceptions towards the homosexuals. The older people perceive homosexuals as being sick and think homosexuals need to seek treatment. The homosexuals experience social stigma and pressure from their families, friends, colleagues, and the community as a whole (Preston 219). The homosexuals, thus, experience problems such as the fear to seek health services due to fear of stigmatization (Feng et al.). The marriage law bill, for the homosexuals, which ...

1. Introduction
Homosexuals are humans and that is a fact although many peopel argue that it is not a natural state because people are supposed to be heterosexuals. Most people are attracted to the opposite sex, but some there is also a significant percentage of homosexual people who also have human rights. Conservatives argue that homosexuality is not natural and hence homosexuality must not be condoned. But yet, progressives believe that homosexuality is indeed a human behavior and so they face the same challenges that heterosexual couples face.

Introduction

The Don't Ask Don't Tell is a policy that was introduced by Clinton following his election to office in 1993. It is a policy that restricts the United States military men and women from discriminating and harassing homosexuals who are in service, and also those seeking to join. It works by preventing individuals from openly sharing their sexual orientation and also preventing others from seeking to know the same. Clinton’s administration instituted this policy in February 1994, and this lasted until September 2011. Throughout its course, the policy has been challenged by various problems. First, it did not ...

Christianity and Homosexuality
In the article, “A Christian Perspective on Homosexuality” strives to answer the question of whether the lifestyle of homosexuality is immoral. The author begins the article by pointing out that the church has been placed into the position that this is such an important matter that regulates millions of Christian lives that they are unable to avoid it. Another reason why this matter has become unavoidable is due to people are being killed over it on a daily basis, such as Matthew Shepard, the student from Wyoming, or a host of Catholic priests being convicted for ...

An important point in the concept of religion for Marx becomes a thought that as the people can overcome religious under the conditions of man's mastery of the forces of nature and overcoming the contradictions between the people in the socio-economic and political spheres of society. So, religion reflects the time of man's dependence on the conditions of the life and definite social relations. The real forces facing people in their lives, and who rule over a man, recognized by the religious consciousness in distorted form and appear as ethereal, supernatural forces. From the standpoint of Marx religion is ...

There are different perspective on what and how masculinity should be manifested since the ancient times up to the present. Masculinity seems to have been defining gender and gender roles in different societies all over the world. It is therefore important to understand this concept. Interestingly, there are two authors who have delved with the concept of masculinity thoroughly in their respective essays. These two authors are Peter Tragos and Michael Kimmel. A comparative analysis of their essays reveals that both authors perceive masculinity as a social concept. They also want to liberate the minds of their readers, especially ...

Introduction

In all spheres of life, one has to constantly make decisions, consciously or not. This means that it is important to analyze how one behaves in difficult situations, not only to make one’s life better, but to see who one is as well. In my case, as a nurse, I have had to work with many difficult patients, as most people in the profession. From difficult patients to tough family members, this is obviously not an easy profession.
Nevertheless, I believe that one of the most significant ethical dilemmas was actually in regards to a superior who was ...

Many experts have long debated about the basis of homosexuality, and it seems that much have been said about it. In particular, two authors have expressed conflicting ideas about this topic. Reviewing both of their arguments is imperative in order to come up with a more thorough understanding of this debate.
In his work entitled “The Neurodevelopment of Human Sexual Orientation,” Qazi Rahman, a Psychobiology professor, focuses his study on the biological basis of homosexuality. Specifically, he presents pieces of evidence to support his claim that being a homosexual is not a matter of choice. For instance, ...

American nationalism is the kind that is concerned with asserting America on the international scene as a nation as well as promoting its culture and unity of purpose. This would imply the direct actions of the American government aimed at advancing the position and role of America on the international scene. It also entails the actions of multinationals whose mother country is America, movements, and non-profit organizations advancing their ideals, and the elements of American culture that inform their charters and terms of services on the international scene.
Orientalism is an outlook that emphasizes, projects, imagines, misrepresents and exaggerates ...

It is important to understand the development of the two sexual categories of heterosexuality and homosexuality as pertains to history. Interestingly, the emphasis on sexual identity as hetero or homo was not always distinguished until a label was actually created that emphasized a sexual preference. It was only near 1860 that a distinction and focus of sexuality was emerging as the Victorian sex-love paradigm was created (Katz, 1990). Prior to this period there was no clear distinction made of heterosexuals as the normal or natural way to be. Although, male female unification was typically what was practiced, there was ...

Abstract

Over thirty years after its identification, HIV and AIDS remains a somewhat elusive virus, particularly when it comes to its history as a human infectious agent, and resourcing a complete epidemiology of the disease. Part of the problem is that so many antiretroviral drugs have come out and have either been used or prescribed incorrectly. In addition, the virus, like many other reverse RNA transcriptase viruses, has a very high aptitude in terms of developing resistance to drugs at a very rapid rate. What further complicates matters is how quickly it has spread. It will probably never truly be ...

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a contradiction of people who are authentic such as Sybil and Henry and those who are hiding their true selves behind deceptions, like Dorian and Basil. This paper will look at the use of “smoke and mirrors” in The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. “Smoke and Mirrors” is a metaphor that refers to the hiding of truth behind a veil of deception. This is a concept that is popular in Victorian Literature and helps to drive the plot as the conflict is often times essential to the advancement of the storyline.

The article “How Homophobia Hurts Everyone” by Warren J. Blumenfeld throws light on the fact that homophobia exists in this society and that each individual, irrespective of their sexual identity, is adversely affected by it. To explain this, the author cites his own childhood experience when he was harassed by his ‘normal’ peers for being ‘different’. Years of humiliation that continued right until his college days, inadvertently drew him apart from his younger sister, Susan. While the author was affected by the teasing, his attractive, smart, ‘normal’ sister, as he came to understand much later when the two spent ...

ANALYZE THE TROPE OF VIOLENCE IN ‘ANOTHER COUNTRY’

The story of an unsuccessful musician and his death is a knowingly violent one. The features of violence shape the general image of “Another Country”, revealing the deepest secrets of its characters and leading the plot to unexpected fields. The trope of violence, present in “Another Country” starts before Rufus’s death and is directly connected to him. As the story develops, violence starts to come out in other characters’ relationships.

Male love and desire for sex was a common erotic and affectional ground for males, a territory that was shared equally by men who did not have a desire for sex with female, and the rest of the male, who were having a desire for males, was a chance for them to get attracted. The traditions suggested that the excluded heterosexuality is just but a convection of latest vintage, based on the refusal of one’s own potential strength of homosexuality. There was some difference between present and past construction of men love and desire for homosexuality as it was highlighted by the Zeus and ...

Introduction

Human sexuality refers to the capacity for one to have sexual feelings. It can be expressed in differently including same-sex relationships, heterosexual interactions and even relationships among different partners. The form of sexuality one follows is guided by their life teachings and influences by culture, global interaction, and religion. These factors determine how one would choose to live their life. Over time sexuality has changed especially in the past century. Freedom to express one’s sexuality has increased, and people are more willing to transform due to reduced fear of persecution and reproductive limitations. This paper will explore the ...

Question 2
Question 3.
The board never gave a clear justification to fire Pettit and their predicament was based on the oral copulation case that might affect children at the school. The board made the decision on the basis of their conservative values who believed that children were susceptible to such behaviour and it was possible they might pick up on such behaviour from their teacher. The board claimed that Pettit was unfit to teach, but the explanation was unrelated to the profession, rather it was based on her sexual preferences. To justify her termination, the board needed to ...

A review of the literature provided reveals that Senegal has been experiencing a rise in cases related to prostitution and homosexuality. Mills (2) argues that the men who practice homosexuality are nicknamed góor-jigéen in Senegal. The term góor-jigéen is loosely translated to mean man-woman. These assertions are supported by Cohen (276) who asserts that the numbers of men who dress like women have been on the rise. According to Cohen (276), men who dress like women are called jankhas. Judging from the assertions and examples given by these two authors, I concur with them. From ...

People used to think that if you killed a gay person, you were doing a service to the community. In my opinion, I also agree with this statement since this is evident in the history of Milk Harvey and Dan White in Francisco. This is also apparent today as the gay practice is seen as a state of mental illness. White served as a soldier in the war Vietnam War before returning to the United States to operate as a law-enforcement officer and later as a firefighter in Francisco. White was bothered by the increasing official’s tolerance of ...

Gay Marriage and Three Sociological Perspectives

Some people living in the society are in the favor of gay marriages, while some people are against gay marriage as they consider that such types of marriages exert negative influence on the society. People do not like concept of gay marriage because it paves the way to reduction and corroding of traditional marriages between a male and a female, and is also against the religious values and reasons. But, some people are of the view that gay marriages should be promoted as gays also have the right of getting married, and gay people committing marriages are significantly contributing ...

Ang Lee is director of wide range of films, and each of them provokes controversy and interest among the audience and critiques. In every taken film the sequences are combined in a unique narrative with its questions and much less answers. Lee is a representative of so called independent genre, meanwhile it should be noted that his films could hardly be titled by any kind of clichés (Siraganian 1). Nevertheless, having in mind the alternative, not common point of view and the craft of directing, all his films are definitely independent. The core essence of Ang’s style ...

The origins of sexual orientation remain a matter of debate amongst scientists as well as the broad circles of society. The researchers of human sexual behavior, psychologists, sociologist, doctors, and genetics still have not reached a consensus on whether sexual orientation is inborn or socially influenced and constructed. As a result, societal attitude to this issue is still controversial.
A number of theories introduced by such researchers state that homosexuality may be the result of certain peculiar properties of a fetus’ prenatal development (Garcia-Falgueras & Swaab. 2009), or genetic characteristics of an individual (Gavrilets & Rice, 2006). The opposing group of ...

Introduction

Bullying is one of the social problems that divide our society into two groups; the first group claims that it is a criminal activity and others who believe it has been part of our culture for generations and calling it criminal would be unfair. Bullying is experienced by people in different walks of life, such as as a child in school, as an employee, etc. It is the factual evidence majority of people have been bullied at least once in their life.

The “Middle” Positions of Homosexuality in Churches
Homosexuality has been major issue of debate in the church for the past decades. In addition, the Church has ignored this intricate issue; this has been due to the Christian teachings that are based on marriage, which strictly asserts that marriage is a holy matrimony meant for a man and a woman. The church has viewed Homosexuality as an immoral act and sin against God, and thus, the church denominations could not allow it under any circumstance. However, in the past decade, there has been openness to accept homosexuality in some churches. ...

If Jerry Falwell were alive today, he would likely be somewhat taken aback by the current election. He would certainly still keep his Republican views and support, but he would likely be voting for Ted Cruz. Both Cruz and Donald Trump hold many of the views that Falwell deemed important, but it is likely that Cruz is more in line with what Falwell believed; it is also likely that Trump might be too much for Falwell in regards to his larger than life media personality and celebrity. It is likely that Falwell would have believed that Trump’s famous ...

1- Telling a Strange Tale

- How would you characterize the tone in which the story is told—esp. at the beginning? What is the effect of using this tone for an account of such bizarre incidents?
The tone of this story is very clinical and matter-of-fact. The presentation of the situation is always done with a minimum of excess modifiers; the author relies on nouns to tell the story rather than adding to the text with too many adjectives and adverbs. The effect of this is to present the story as perfectly normal and mundane – which is what makes it all the more ...

Speaker Note

Queer theory is defined as a field of post-structuralist critical theory that emerged in the early 1990s out of the fields of queer studies and women's studies. It challenges “essentialist notions of homosexuality and heterosexuality within the mainstream discourse and instead posits an understanding of sexuality that emphasizes shifting boundaries, ambivalences, and cultural constructions that change depending on historical and cultural context.” (Queer Theory, 2016) “To queer” means to consider “normal” sexuality as strange, to reconsider the notion heterosexuality as a natural social and sexual norm and advocate the notion of “non-straightness,” protesting agaisnt the hegemony of “straight” ideology. ...

Abstract

The main points of this essay are as follows; with the coming of modernisation religion is becoming less necessary, it is replaced by science and ethics born of logic rather than superstition. Modern religious fundamentalists thus try to mount a counter offensive against modernity in the form of terrorism or hateful protests and general bigotry. Although as a gatekeeper it keeps a minority of people down in terms of limiting some crimes under the fear of hell, religious belief for centuries have been used to justify some of the worst crimes mankind has ever known. Another point I make is that religion ...
