I think that the way others perceive the gay lifestyle, as in the cultural perspective, would maybe make me self conscience and would maybe even make me weary of coming out or allowing others to acknowledge that I was gay at all. I think that I may even go through a denial stage because I would not want others to look at me in a negative way or to be afraid of me because I were gay. I also think that the biological perspective may even influence my view of my sexual orientation if I were gay because there would be a possible chance of my selection being genetic or hereditary. I think that biologically my point of view on the gay sexual orientation would actually be more positive than negative because then I would feel a bit more at ease because being gay was not just a choice but the way that I was born. I think that for me being born gay or the thought of being born gay would actually give me a little more comfort in knowing that it is the way that I was created, not that I made what some people would consider a bad choice or a good
She uses Michael Jordan as an example of his masculinity in sports and femininity in dressing style. We do not generally poke fun at Jordan because he already has gained that respect from the public. To this point, Bordo draws an implication that men are afraid to dress well because they do not want to be judged by everyone else as a metrosexual and be stereotyped as a homosexual. Most try to stay inside the norms which expectations have created for us (in a way taking out uniqueness) and dare not to venture out. Bordo and I would both agree that as long as a man is secure with his own sexuality he will not have a problem dressing the way he would like
I’m just plain tired of them, and I’m tired of having to act like I should apologize for it!” (208) That rant showed how he has a lot of aggression towards those people, and that he can’t seem to look passed their race. If Kevin weren’t racist, it would have a very positive affect on his life. He would be able to cooperate better with people of different races, as well as becoming a more peaceful person overall. That being said, in terms of the story, it wouldn’t have such a great affect. Without Kevin being racist, the authors would definitely need to find another character with this trait, as it is very important to the
Society is immensely focused on eliminating prejudice words since it is believed they are violent. Eliminating words is not an easy task when context comes into play. Huckleberry Finn can use a word prejudice against African Americans and not cause as much controversy as the very utterance of the word by stranger. The author speaks about a memory on a subway when he over heard a group of teenagers using a derogatory term against homosexuals. He explains the fear he felt when he heard the term since he was homosexual himself.
The people think aggressiveness and toughness as cool and beloved for men where as women are an object or representation of sex. When this issue is reversed, where men are the objective for sex whereas women are representing toughness, our world, then, is absurd. As a sexist society, our modern world HAS made people believe that certain types of entertainments are not to be done by one specific gender. In order to learn the consequence of this violence in daily life, our modern society should inherit some outside effects such as calm classical music or non-aggressive songs from Asia or around the
He is poking fun at the age old concept of ‘equality,’ one that has inspired wars and movements alike; he accomplishes this by creating a system to make everyone equal, a system that happens to be just as stupid as the idea of ‘total equality.’ Under this system equality is achieved, but it is at the cost of individual freedom and a society full of stupid people, this in-turn creates the situational irony found in the story. The plot of the story itself is a piece of situational irony, however there are many other instances found throughout it, including verbal irony. One specific example of this is when Hazel and George are talking, Vonnegut writes “ ‘I think I’d make a good Handicapper General. (Hazel)’ ‘Good as anybody else,’ said George.” His response to Hazel’s comment is slightly sarcastic, but also ironic, in that she really would be “as good anybody else” because in their society everyone is just as good or bad as everybody else. Another example of this false sense of equality is when George says,
We have certain morals that we tend to stick by, however when conflict arrises what we stand can be alternated as great deals of conflict can change a personals way of viewing the world. However conflict can also make us stick by our morals to a greater extent as we may use these particular morals to conquer conflict. in the world today, we often see society challenging each other for what we choose to be in life , particularly people being challenged for being homo-sexual and these times of conflict made them relise who they truly are and fight back for justice as gay marriage is now legal in some parts of Australia. Like in Bruce Beresfords feature film Paradise Road highlights the potential of conflict to catalyse the revaluation of an individuals moral compass, the way in which one lives and the values that are important to their existence to be realised. Therefore conflict can in fact enhance the strengths of our morals and beliefs.
The Odyssey Theme Analysis Once pride crosses a line, it can destroy anyone. Throughout everyone's life, successes help to build a positive pride. In some people, this pride grows and becomes arrogance. An arrogant person makes poor decisions and easily self-destructs. Everyone must learn to control this pride, and if they cannot, learn to accept the consequences.
We need to step away from the forces that not only make us ashamed of our mestizo skin, but also of our language and sexuality. Sexuality in Chicanas has been historically neglected, with the majority of focus going towards male’s sexual desire. Anzaldua explains the way that our language “is a male discourse.” (Anzaldua, pp. 76) Our Spanish language has been utilized to enforce male dominance denying females even the smallest ability to expert their female being. We need to create a new identity where we openly explore the pleasures of our sexuality, our pride in our brown skin and the creation of a language that does not only focus on the male
Therefore, they try all kinds of methods to come here without realizing how difficult it can be for them to stay in this country without proper documents. For that reason, they have scrabbled in many ways. First, discrimination is a part of their struggles because they get discriminated against
