    She frontloads the paper with many quotes and ideas from sources such as a fashion photographer Sante D’Orazio, Ron Crocco the principal of St. Augustine Catholic High School, and Lyn Mikel Brown the co author of Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters from Marketers’ Schemes”. Although there are too many quotes that hides George’s voice, they also give her credibility on the topic, making her ideas seem more reliable to the audience by providing a credible source. Since the audience is well educated, they are more likely to believe what experts would say on the topic of sexualized clothing rather than the editor of the

    154 Words  | 1 Pages

    At the highest levels of governments around the world the pedophile culture receives protection and cover. The members of this culture include the rich, high level, famous, and influential people. The pedophile culture is embedded in justice systems around the world where the perpetrators are able to flee prosecution for long periods of time even in the midst of investigations and warrants being issued.

  • Hmong Research Paper

    The lack of sexual education also contributes to young marriage and motherhood rates (Ngo & Leet-Otley, 2011). Hmong parents do not understand sexual education and do not discuss it with their children. In Meschke and Dettmer’s (2013) study on sexual health communication, Hmong daughters inferred that parents believed the talk about sexual health might encourage their daughters to be sexually active. Talking about sex is impolite and embarrassing so Hmong families do not usually have discussions on that topic. However, when they do give out information it is often wrong and exaggerated (Meschke & Dettmer, 2012).

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

    1425 Words  | 6 Pages

    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).

  • Sex Is A Funny Word Book Report

    163 Words  | 1 Pages

    Ultimately, Sex is a Funny Word is a comprehensive, inclusive, and stereotype-defying book on sexuality, gender identity, and diversity. Given that it is a book aimed for 7-12 year olds (in fact, it can be used for 7 and up), it is an amazing introductory text for guardians to read with their children. If I were to ever have children, I would definitely introduce this book to them, as I have no other guide to help me steer the conversation about not only sex, but also masturbation and transgender and queer identities – the latter topics in which I do have a gap of understanding. Honestly, all children should have access to books like these anyway because the children will eventually seek out this kind of information on their own and the information

  • For Goodness Sex Ventacchio Summary

    1412 Words  | 6 Pages

    For Goodness Sex, by Al Vernacchio, is a welcome relief from the two previous books; Girls & Sex and Man Interrupted, as the focus is about sexuality as a whole; gender, sexual orientation, etc., rather than on the culture of females and males. In a chapter titled “Gender Myths,” Vernacchio (2014) asks the question, “male and female, is that all there is” (Vernacchio, A., p. 112, 2014)? In teaching his class on Sexuality and Society, Vernacchio asks these questions and questions similar, demonstrating that he takes into consideration that there are feelings at stake and keeps in mind the human aspect of sex and sexuality as he is intentionally behind challenging students to foresee and develop their sense of values about sex, instead of constantly being “in the moment.”
