Perry Wheeler Dr. Livengood WRIT 101 10/13/2010 Is It Worth Telling Over the past sixteen years society’s views on homosexuals has greatly changed. This has had an impact on the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy due to the argument of freedom of speech.

Although homosexual people believe that banning gays from the military violates their civilian rights; the military says that people give up the rights and freedoms when enrolling.
In this critical analysis, we will first summarize the article based on the author’s thesis, then it will be compared to the readings in the textbook Cultural Anthropology. Finally, the article will be analyzed critically based on the author and his embodied experiences. Murray’s (2009) article on the Bajan queen’s and their sexual diversity show how there is a difference in the definitions of sexuality and gender in Euro-American culture and Barbadian culture.

According to the transgender’s, there had always been queen’s in Bajan culture; they even had annual parades specific to the queens.

John describes feeling hopeless, exhausted, and having a general lack of interest in daily life. John was referred by St. Joseph’s hospital after being admitted by his mother. Mr. Adams is willing to explore treatment at this time; he states that he is tired of causing pain to his family and he wants to learn to be happy again. The personal communication style John would benefit from includes empathy, opened mindedness, asking open ended questions and waiting for John to respond in his own words,
Tim O’Brien A Coward In an attempt to relieve some shame and guilt about his involvement in the war O’Brien writes a story about himself that he has never before told anyone, titled The Rainy River. The story starts off at the summer of 1968 when he was 21 years old and was drafted to serve in the army. Before he was drafted, O’Brien had taken a stand against the war by doing things such as campaigning for the presidential campaign of anti-war advocate Eugene McCarthy and writing college newspaper editorials against the war.

The outcome stated that “the number of cases of blackmail as a result of past investigations of homosexuals are negligible and no factual data exists to support the contention that homosexuals are a greater risk that heterosexuals.” This was a report that was largely suppressed by the US Military for over fifty years. The reports existence was discovered through the Freedom of Information Act after the military stated there were not any studies
