The author argues, against those who would delegitimate such usage as persuasive redefinition, that what are at stake are different theories of the nature of rape. “Men in Groups: Collective Responsibility for Rape.” Hypatia 9, no. 2 (1994): 134-51. The authors criticize the following views: only the rapist is accountable since only he commit the act; no one is liable since assault is a biological response to stimuli; everyone is guilty since men and women contribute to the sexual assault culture; and patriarchy is reliable but no person or group. In closing, this source to end the project with even thought it disagreement pieces of information that can be argue.
Pornography Is Harmful To Women and Children Let it be known that the purpose of this paper is to argue that pornography is harmful to society, but more specifically women and children. Unlike any other media representation of sex and sexuality, pornography within our postmodern society has become a cultural category of significance. The typical seediness has somewhat become lost but replaced by a society that mainly focuses sexual imagery in almost everything everyone sees. High contents of sexual imagery is used in the advertising and music industries as well as a number of late night television shows. This sudden shift in people’s attitudes towards the use of certain sexual and erotic images in today’s society raises a number of questions that need to be answered in order to better understand the harms it does to society.
Rape Culture on College Campuses and Why it Prevails Rape has become a taboo topic. Sexual assault is sugar coated into something less disturbing and brutal than it actually is. But rape is rape: the act of male or female taking sexual control or dominance over a nonwilling participant. It does notmatter whether or not people feels comfortable discussing the topic of rape. Uncomfortability does not make a problem disappear.
There are many different theories behind why women may offend. Frances Heidensohn (1985) said; ‘ We shouldn’t be asking why some women commit crime, but why are women so non-criminal?’ this theory can open many different doors into the explanations behind women criminality. A theory which was put forward in the Victorian times suggested that ‘Normal’ females have a disposition that repels them from deviant and criminal behaviour. Although for a while this theory was accepted, in more recent further research it is has been found that there is a small link between hormones and crime, but no a large enough link to blame the lack of female crime for this. There have also been theories which have tried to argue that PMT could cause a woman to cause crime, therefore giving a lighter punishment in court.
Some may say that it should be allowed because it allows rape victims to abort an unwanted child. They would argue that she was impregnated against her will, therefore, they hold the right to abort the fetus before it developes too much. However, absolutists would argue that abortion is wrong no matter what because it is taking a human life. They would also argue that they are taking a life before it has a chance to experience the world. Relative Ethics allows people to understand why they take the actions they do.
A couple of examples are spousal murder and rape. (Gen 14 2012, p.24-26) Women who murder their husbands no matter what the circumstances find it hard to be treated sympathetically by the justice system. This is due to the historical cultural stereotypes of women and the Judicial Myopia of the judges and courts. (Gen 14 2012, p.23) Historically men are given greater latitude when it comes to spousal murder as women are seen as a man’s possession and any deviance from that is provocation. (Gen 14 2012, p.24) Women find it difficult to plead provocation as they are expected to be submissive whereas male stereotypes suggests it is acceptable to be aggressive and abusive to keep the women obedient and in her place.
Despite what the myth of stranger rape dictates, initiators of sexual assault are often personally connected to victims. Many myths specifically surround male-perpetrated sexual assault against women. Such statements include that women often lie about sexual assault and that women's choices of clothing, ways of walking, and habitats are reasons for their assault. There are also several myths about males' experiences of female committed sexual assault. It is often assumed that the offenders of sexual aggression against males are male, which is not always the case.
Research Paper Thesis and Outline Thesis: Although sex trafficking is a serious issue in United States, many parties are still ignorant and unaware of the consequences that it might bring to society. Therefore, identifying the root problems and solutions of sex trafficking should be encouraged to reduce the occurrence and to reinforce individual rights. Outline: * One of the major problems of sex trafficking in society is the degradation of the basic human rights. “Every stage of the trafficking process can involve physical, sexual and psychological abuse and violence, deprivation and torture, the forced use of substances, manipulation, economic exploitation and abusive working and living conditions.” (United Nation) It violates
On the other hand that’s not always true, because if they didn’t want to have sexual intercourse with you this is considered rape, but if you give them money and they decide to that another story. Goodman stated, Rape perverts such meanings, and overlays a passionate or passionless violence on sexuality that violates the victim’s psyche even as her bodily integrity and self-image are violated and abused. (Goodman, 2010, pg.92) Clitoridectomy, is considered a women circumcision, in which the clitoris is removed with use of a surgery. This is practiced in numerous cultures and is used to guard virginity and to reduce sexual desire. This is a physically and agonizing procedure that no would should have to endure, and my opinion anyone who practices it would be incarcerated for attempt to murder.
The novel does contain a sexually explicit scene of Pecola’s rape, but a graphic depiction of sex is not the same as pornography. Pornography may be sexually explicit, but it is also designed to titillate and excite. Pecola’s rape scene is hardly titillating or designed to evoke sexual feelings in the reader. It is to portray what happens to children in America today. Another topic that is mentioned in the book is “Racism”.
