Are People Born In The Late 1990s

Improved Essays
I believe that individuals born in the mid to late 1990s can be more open-minded and diverse. I am very open-minded to many things such as ethics, religion, sexuallity, culture, and language. Although I happen to be an open-minded and diverse person, I do not think that this is true about everyone born in the mid to late 1990s. I am very open-minded to many things such as religion, sexuality, culture, and language. Everyday whether it is on the news, social media, or the radio, I hear something about religion. Many people today, including myself, are more open to different religions and have opened our eyes to others beliefs. However, there are also people who have recently been upset or angered with religion. The most obvious known to …show more content…
I believe that people can love whoever they want to love. Human beings should not be made fun of for their sexuality. I stand up for people when I say that we have the right to love or be attracted to who we want. Older generations tend to see this as “unholy” and refer to Leviticus 18:22 “Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination” (King James Version, Leviticus 18-22), and yet they are to scared to even give it a chance. I trust that the reason for older generations to be scared is that they are fearful of change. Individuals in the mid to late 1990s are less startled by changes because we happen to be born around the time that the internet was founded. The internet opened up a new road for us. It has showed us how much change can happen in just a couple of decades. Everything is changing drastically since the 1990s, people have also changed. This includes individuals sexualities. Another concept on sexuality that has become popular is gender identity which by all means is something I am open-minded about. Recently we have seen on the news and social media stories about gender identity and gender bathrooms. Well I say let them go to whichever bathroom they feel the most comfortable in. If a person born a man but feels like or wants to be a women should be able to go to a women’s restroom. Not to mention having all gender restrooms work great! …show more content…
Sexual morality has varied greatly over time and between cultures. However, family values such as bibles and God and peer pressure from society have forced LGBTs “into the closet”. We all have different cultures, but then again all of our cultures have similarities. We either eat the same food as another culture, or have the same religion, or even the same language. We all seem to be fighting a battle with each other, yet we can’t seem to notice that we are alike in many ways. We buy and sell from other cultures such as China but have no respect for them. I have repeatedly seen or heard several Americans get angry because a hispanic person was minding their own business but talking spanish instead of english in America. America does not have a specific language. Why are we so mad? Other cultures are allowed to speak whatever language they choose. I am open-minded and diverse about other’s

    Cultural construction of sexuality can be defined as the view that perceptions and attitudes towards sexuality varies due to the diversification in values and practices amongst various cultures. In this essay, I will argue that sexuality is culturally constructed and explore the different ways in which it is perceived and understood, as well as analysing the reasons for these differences. Firstly, I will look at sexually restrictive cultures and discuss how religion and ethos cause some cultures to have strict morals and beliefs regarding sexuality. Secondly, I will go on to look at sexually permissive cultures and explore how some cultures have greater freedom and openness towards sexuality, exploring the alternative connotations of sexual…

    In today's society is perfectly fine to be who you'd like to be. The judgmental levels with people are dropping; however, some older people still don't believe that you should act any different then how they were raised. In the 1930s there society believed it was inhuman to love or have any form of relationship with another race. Today, gay marriage is legal in all states, where back in the 1930s where the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee takes place this was never thought of. Today our society is laid back, it's not expected to see girls in dresses anymore.…

    In a world of injustice and hatred, one would believe that people would at least have the audacity to respect others playing the cruel game of life. Homosexuals have faced many hardships and discriminatory laws that have suggested that they differ from heterosexuals and do not deserve equality. The unjust treatment towards homosexuals lacks mutual respect to marriage laws, adoption policies, and job opportunities. Homosexual couples may not fit the generic standards of what is considered normal in society but are humans, a part of our own species, and just as equally worthy of all rights that heterosexual couples have. On the other hand, there is a number of people who believe that homosexuality is a sin and against their religion, and others…

    Minority Rules Religion is one of the largest controversies in the world, and this is mainly because of how many different people with different backgrounds and cultures are in America. It creates positivity and brings people together, while making countries fight and cause terrorism. America founded its nation on religion, and has slowly pushed it away year by year. Religion is being pushed out of our classrooms, schools, and communities because of the small percentage of people in America that aren’t religious. People are becoming offended easily by religious topics, and it is causing negativity among American citizens.…

We are all unconsciously attached to our believes and our knowledge of how the world works that most of us have the feeling of unease with the notion of change. Today, changing a few ideologies of the past is becoming more flexible. One of the most controversial topics is sexual orientation.…

    Argument Against Gay Love

    Gay love has been an issue for the longest now and it’s beginning to get out of hand. But that’s not the only thing that’s getting out of hand, what also is getting out of hand is societies view on those who are transgender. Which brought to my attention that some people are so reluctant to change that they resort violence and brute force in order to shape things into their image whenever something that they say is wrong starts to occur. They are only interested and care about what they want to see is “right” day to day. The way we approach people who are gay or transgender is outright ridiculous and ignorant which can easily be added to the millions of other situations where ignorance has occurred in history.…

    In American History we are currently studying the concept of sectionalism. Sectionalism is a division within a country based on regional beliefs and interests. In the early to mid 1800’s, sectionalism in America grew as slavery divided the Nation. Slavery was ignored, compromised, and argued about by the states until the conflict drove our country into the Civil War. Although regional differences are not as distinct these days, many issues are currently causing division among the states and people of our country.…

    Over the past couple of weeks we have been on the topic of privilege, which is something that has been around for hundreds of years. From whites and blacks to even men and women there has been always some sort of privilege in some form. One of the readings that was interesting was “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack”. It has been twenty years since Peggy McIntoch wrote this article, and every thing that she has written is still relevant today. Right away in the beginning of her article she talks about how women don’t have the same privilege’s as men.…

    Religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman being controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. At the present time, there are about more than four thousand religions in the world. Each of them has a different set of mores and idiosyncrasies to follow. But, sometimes these conventions don’t exactly assure the person’s wants or needs. Religion sometimes get in the way of people’s civil rights because the majority of religions have a strict code of conduct that will prevent you from doing things you’ll want to do, many religions may pressure you to conform, and nearly all, might take advantage of your credibility to make you think things are alright when they’re actually not.…

    We live in a world where homosexuals are mocked by society. Going back in time when attitude based on homosexuality varied by era and region in Medieval Europe, this is when all sexual practices were allowed until the 12th century came along and the development of christianity changed the views on sexuality. Death by landscape starring Lois, emplifies homosexuality at a young age, whereas, Lolita starring Humbert represents a pedophile pursuing a young minor also referred to in the book a “nymphet.” When an individual begins to get involved in a relationship it is natural they label what they are sharing with their companion as “LOVE,” which in this case I declare as “LUST.” As an individual starts pursuing another, their sexuality comes into question, their social well-being is impacted and they often mistake Love with Lust.…

    Homosexuality has always been a controversial topic in the United States, especially last year when the law changed for same-sex individuals are now able to get married. I attended a Catholic private school in middle school, in which we learned about God and the Bible. We were taught that people could be gay but that they could not act upon it, but it was best not to be gay because that not what God intended us to be. The idea of being gay was so abstract, I always wonder if a person was born that way or choose to be that way. I remember having my first experience of close friends coming out to me as a lesbian.…

    Diversity Experience June 2015, the United States Supreme Court made same-sex marriages legal in all 50 states. People across the Nation are divided on this issue. I found myself feeling indifferent on the Supreme Court’s decision. I know I would never want to marry a person of the same sex, so the decision by the Supreme Court had no effect on me personally. Some religions are against same-sex marriages, and consider homosexuality as a sin and immoral.…

    Comparison between the 1960s And 2000 Following the 1960s, fashion in the beginning of 2000 has moved from the minimalist approach, to incorporate several dressing styles. In the beginning of 2000, designers began incorporating more patterns and colors in their clothes, using inspiration from the vintage clothing of the 1960s, 1970s, and eras of 1980s. In comparison to 1960s, fashions in 2000 turned to be more feminine, decent and attractive than those of former year, an indicator of better lining. For instance, women started dressing in denim jackets and miniskirts, halter tops, low-rise jeans, belly shirts and Capri pants.…

    Influences of Sexual Behaviors Throughout the course of history, natural law inadvertently created a culture that in and of itself bears a certain level of responsibility in shaping the sexual behaviors of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations. The principles of natural law as standards have been applied to theories of ethics, politics, civil law, and religious morality (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2011). Digress to 636c, and the dialogs of Plato, who’s writing first articulate central ideas of natural law. In Book One of Plato 's Laws, he describes opposite-sex sex acts as pleasurable by nature while same-sex sexuality is unnatural (The Project Gutenberg, 2008).…
