Mama Dragon's Argumentative Essay: Memoir Bonding

489 Words2 Pages

Mama Dragons, I'm in distress. My brother-in-law just posted the following (see below) even though his daughter is a lesbian who came out almost nine years ago. She just contacted me and said she broke off contact with him. I've offered my full support and love to her, but now I'm feeling like I want to rip his head off. I need advice from my fellow, more experienced Mamas. Would you respond to his FB post? If so, how? W facts and links? Or just ignore him? I'm furious right now and need level-headed advice.

"The biological purpose for sex is reproduction of the species. This involves two processes: 1) union of the gametes; and 2) care of the offspring. The human species is a heterosexual, pair bonding species. The pair bond is very important …show more content…

These biologically unnatural pseudo-bonds undermine the strength of a society. A person's sexual inclination or attraction doesn't change the social necessity of using sex exclusively for its biological purpose: heterosexual pair bonding. Altering the definition of marriage does not change the biological need for healthy heterosexual pair bonds."

"I look at it from a biological perspective—what is best for the human species. The fact is that the more promiscuous a society is, the more social and health problems we have (“promiscuous” meaning intimate sex outside of a heterosexual marriage). A promiscuous a society has:
1. More sexually transmitted diseases
2. More pornography
3. More sexually abused children (including those that are kidnapped and used for sex slaves).
4. More prostitution
5. More divorce resulting in more poverty, abuse, crime, drug abuse, etc.
This is a vicious, ugly downward cycle and our youth are the victims. We must protect them by behaving responsibly. Where do we draw the line? We either live in a way that provides a good role model for our youth or we go downhill. I, for one, and sick and tired of people “winking at” the Donald Trumps and Bill Clintons of this

    Physiological Prison, a Hood Mentality The mindset in the Black Urban Community, also referred to as the “Hood” is one that is delusional where criminal actions are acceptable and bettering oneself is looked down upon. I have witnessed personally the lifestyle of those in the hood and selfish/selfless mentality they possess. While doing my research I came across a video documentary of the everyday life in the Black Urban Community. The video shed light on the thought process that those that live in these communities and how this process becomes a cycle that is on repeat generation after generation.

    "It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." —Madeleine Albright. In the 19th century, women did not have many rights to their name. They could not vote, they could not own property, and even speaking in public was looked down upon. Anti-slavery advocates existed, but women’s rights advocates did not. However, women began to speak out for their beliefs and slowly but surely, a women’s rights movement arose.

    Anona Su Throughout, we have talked about many types of deviant behaviors ranging from adult-child sexual contact and bestiality to white supremacy beliefs and deaf community. Goffman argued that no matter the stigma experienced, it is extremely discrediting because of language and relationships around the people it affects (1963). Deviant behaviors and characteristics (denoted as: b/c) are highly stigmatized thus discrediting. To combat stigma, groups can be made. Yet, there are many instances where they are unable to form communities of support.

  • Analysis Of Alan H. Goldman's 'Plain Sex'

    Inside and beyond the myth and the social impact of the subject as One or Substance. Alan H. Goldman’s essay ‘Plain Sex’ is a central contribution to the academic debate about sex within the analytic area, which has been developing since the second half of the ‘90s in Western countries. Goldman’s purpose is encouraging debate on the concept of sex without moral, social and cultural implications or superstitious superstructures. He attempts to define “sexual desire” and “sexual activity” in its simplest terms, by discovering the common factor of all sexual events, i.e. “the desire for physical contact with another person’s body and for the pleasure which such contact produces; sexual activity is activity which tends to fulfill such desire of the agent” (Goldman, A., 1977, p 40).

A school where they are conditioned to act like their social class, learn their job, and to be raised; since there are no such things as families. Children would “discover each other” at “recess” through erotic foreplay. “‘The nurse shrugged her shoulders.

    The family preforms essential tasks that contribute to societies basic needs and helps to maintain social order (Giddens, 2009). Different societies have rules regarding who can marry who but the majority apply the incest taboo (a cultural norm forbidding sexual relations or marriage between particular relatives). Reproduction between close relatives could have negative effects of mental and physical health of offspring but Macionis and Plummer highlight the social reasons for the existence of this taboo. It minimises sexual rivalry within families by confining sexual relations to spouses. It forces people to form broader alliances by forcing people to marry outside their immediate families.

The code of chivalry back then represented a combination of Christian and military ideas of morality. As time progressed, the real meaning of the word disappeared and was mated with the fancies of love that resulted in a new definition that stressed on social and moral values.
