In addition to these laws and the state laws, organizations seek to develop policies and programs to prevent incidences of sexual violence at their workplaces. In so doing, they ensure high employee morale and hence productivity as well as ...

Evaluation of Martin Barker’s Research The portrayal of rape on screen is a complex issue for a number of reasons.

Response to Paper 1:

The problem of sexual violence has several reasons rooted in human psychology and norms of society. They refer to the themes of hypermasculinity, sexual attraction through behavior, and stereotypes that society has about the female behavior towards sex. One should note that expected female behavior towards sex differs, and not all women like gentle sex; some of them prefer aggressive porn videos and rough sex and like to feel physical dominance of their partner. It may cause misunderstandings; for instance, a man who got accustomed to rough sex and specific kind of women meets a woman who prefers gentle ...

Medieval Europe Prostitution

Depiction of Women in the French Fabliaux Within the French fabliaux, women are portrayed in many different ways. However, the two most dominating depictions are as the heroic figure, or the unsavory figure. There are numerous articles and essays written on this topic, supporting one side or the other, explaining the reason behind why women are portrayed in a certain way within the fabliaux. However, are we really able to support strictly one side of the argument? The history of prostitution explains to us that there could be a reason why there exists such conflicting portrayal of women within ...

My study is about whether there are sufficient disclosures in rape cases to allow for a conclusive investigation and thus a fair judgement. According to Patterson (2012), only a few of reported rape cases are prosecuted in the legal system.

Indeed, in their study involving 20 women who were rape victims, there was sufficient evidence that the level of disclosure by a ...

They would rather stay indoors in the comfort of their beds. Using the shuttles between residence halls and libraries are a fact of day-to-day life. Often, the ...

Question #1: All about love In discussing the consequences of emotional underdevelopment in males with respect to society’s demands that they must show strength in being tough demonstrating no outward expression of physical or emotional pain, it is an unrealistic demand. Essentially, there is no significant biological differences between males and females to create this distorted demand. Males and females are humans with equal emotional needs. Why should a man due to gender suppress his needs and a woman allowed to cry and express hers being considered the weaker sex? More importantly, how do these emotional imbalances affect ...

This paper looks at male chauvinism; where David Grazian documents the nature of gender and sexual pursuits based on activities associated with individual and group male behavior. In drawing on narrative accounts of their behavior and speech, Grazian illustrates how young heterosexual male students use their collective powers to show their masculinity by girl hunting in urban nightlife. The book is designed to reinforce the unspoken, dominant sexual pursuits and behavior of males who look to portray their masculinity in the presence of women. In the story, Lawrence, a twenty-one-year-old white junior, on a visit to a nightclub with his friends, displays ...

The hegemonic status of the United States military results in unequal and unfair treaties with other, less powerful countries; these treaties often include clauses that make prosecuting the US military men difficult. In this essay, I argue that the military power of the US has created a culture for American soldiers which eliminates potential consequences for violent crimes; this culture has led to an increase in violence against women from other countries as well as against women within the United States military. Assault, murder, and rape by the US military personnel go unpunished. These acts of violence are perceived in ...

Music has always played a very significant role in people’s culture and development. Since ancient times it was the way of sending hidden messages and reaching the desirable audience, sometimes even to make people do something. For instance, one can easily observe that his/her mood changes greatly when listening to certain song or track. Moreover, it is not a secret anymore that certain type of music is used in commercials in order to make listeners buy certain products or services. Basically, music is one more way of mass media that manipulates people greatly without them even realizing it.

Introduction

The image of a child soldier is a difficult one. In some parts of the world - most especially in the Middle East, children are known to take up arms and be trained in such a young age to be soldiers. Seeing a young child holding a weapon as deadly as a machine gun is like looking at a deeply ominous and incongruous image of childhood. Despite the amount of abhorrence this picture may display, it is indeed an unfortunate reality that the world is facing right now.

Feminist accused the male dominated society of the subjugation of the rights of women. The history of the human race is marred with the oppression of the female gender.

Nevertheless, communities and ethnicities that do not subscribe to the mainstream religions undermine women in the society. Towards the late twentieth century, feminist’s movement arose as a result of the skyrocketing of the ...

A world without categories for gender or sex categories would be a very different world. Debates over sex have been more open in Central Europe.

Definition of Rape

According to the conventional common-law, rape can be defined as “the act of having unlawful carnal knowledge by a man of a woman, forcibly and against her will” (Pollock & Klotter, 2009).

John J. Maclonis in his book “Society” refers to the sexual revolution as a post-Second World War period whereby the society started to become more open towards the issue of sexuality.

The repercussions of the sexual revolution are still being felt today even with the emergence of the pop culture. The sexual revolution hit its climax in the late 1960’s and some of the consequences of this sexual revolution are summarized below. ...

Orientalism encompasses an academic discourse featuring a patronizing attitude by Westerners towards Asian and African societies. The West perceives Asian and African societies as undeveloped and static and in this way, creates a fallacious oriental culture by which Asians and Africans can be studied, shown and reproduced. On the other hand, in this fabrication by the Westerners, the West is taken to be developed, flexible, dynamic and superior. An etiological analysis of this term will suffice. Orientalism finds its origins in the word “Orient” which translates to the East, as seen by the West. Further, the term Orient has its origins ...

I concur fully with the sex offender registry policy. Indeed, it is a known fact that the law must only give punishment commensurate to the weight of offences. In that breadth, one may argue convincingly that sexual offender registration and the consequential publication extends the punishment beyond the legal anticipation. However, this practice ought to be appreciated for its intentions which in my opinion are noble. It is in order for the public to be informed of the fact of one having engaged in sexual offences. This line of thought is premised on the fact that from a psychological point of ...

Introduction

Simone de Beauvoir in her book 'The Second Sex' has explained how society constitutes a 'woman' by curtailing her freedom from childhood. Women are assumed by the global society "as an already constituted and coherent group with identical interests and desires, regardless of class, ethnic or racial location, implies a notion of gender or sexual difference or even patriarchy which can be applied universally or cross-culturally" (Mohanty 1988). Some stereotypical attributes attached with the essence of women by the society are to a great degree influenced by the contemporary media representation. According to Gerbner, viewers who spend a considerable amount of time watching ...
