The sharing of affection has long been acknowledged as a fundamental human need. For our entire lives, we display affection toward each other to build closeness, strengthen bonds, and create intimacy (Morman & Floyd, 1998). These displays of affection are important at building familial bonds and feelings of friendship with others. Simple displays of touching, hugging, and kissing are the way that people build relationships of meaning with one another. Although for males living in Anglo-American…
The film “If…” by Lindsay Anderson is an allegory of the risks of repressing sexual desires with extreme repercussions for doing so, with imagery starting from the opening sequence with a young student caressing a peach while another watches intently, and ending with the extreme act of violence that Mick Travis uses instead of sating his sexual desires. The entirety of the film places the students and subjects of the film within the seeming prison like system of their boarding school, which…
I found the information for my project from reliable sources on the internet and from my high school chemistry teacher. This project is the results of months of research and a basic understanding of the science of body fat. I am only a high school student and not a professional nor an expert on this subject, but I strongly believe that I presented accurate facts about how fat occurs during weight gain and loss and the different types of fats that exist. There are a lot of misconceptions about…
advertisements outright depict sexual violence (see Appendix D and Appendix E). It is not uncommon to take a portion of a women and focus solely on that body part, removing her face and effectively turning her into simply a breast, abdomen, pair of legs or buttocks (see Appendix F). In some cases, women are actually dismembered or portioned into cuts of meat, which sends the message that women are no different nor more valuable than a piece of meat (see Appendix G and Appendix H). This…
includes the behavior of both contact and non contact (Bebbington, Jonas, Brugha, Meltzer, Jenkins, Cooper, King & McManus, 2011; Vivolo, Holland, Teten & Holt, 2010). Contact CSA such as touching private parts of children (breast, genitals, and buttocks), penetration, sexual abuse, rape or forcing a child to hold the private actors (Finkelhor, et al, 2008; Kenny & Wurtele, 2008). Non contact CSA such as showing the child pornographic images or the genital area, and encourage children to behave…
You hold your wife’s hand as the nurse performing the ultrasound rubs the conductive gel over her swollen drum of a belly. The thud of a tiny heartbeat floods your mind as you wait in anticipating silence to discover the sex of your new baby. “It’s a girl!” cries the nurse, noting the beginnings of utero, your wife beaming at you. You’re pleased. So pleased. Maybe…maybe you’d been hoping for a boy…maybe you’d been imagining playing football and aeroplanes in the back garden instead of trying to…
Child abuse is one of the leading causes of problems and stress in children throughout America. Child abuse not only can take away a childhood, but can also if serious enough, it can even lead into adulthood. Some cases can be as modest as verbal abuse and some can be as severe as physical or sexual abuse. The effects of child abuse are far deeper than they may seem, and can cause not only physical but also emotional scarring. Conducting research on this field can be challenging due to severe…
records show that Mr. Tolley rolled approximately fifty feet (our witnesses are prepared to testify that he rolled ten feet—and a witness with personal knowledge is more credible than a post hoc medical record on this issue) and experienced neck and buttock pain as well as some tearing of his skin—including scalp lacerations. Moreover, the medical records indicated that there were compression fractures at vertebra…
Lawicki continuously harassed her even after their relationship ended. For example, he would put his hand on her knee or he would come up from behind and put both his hands on her breast. There were also other occasions where he would pinch her buttocks as he walked by or sometimes he grabbed her crotch and asked explicitly if she was wet. Lawicki also made other graphic inquiries blatantly such as: What kind of lingerie she was wearing underneath her clothes, if she gave a head and swallowed…
Many great authors, from Shakespeare to J.K. Rowling, have used ‘foil’ characters, or characters who have a great contrast and opposition, in order to get their points across. Some authors may want to show that dogs are better than cats, while other may want to show that simplicity is key, in addition to a countless amount of other thought and ideas, but none the less these contrasting characters give great emphasis to their argument. In Yukio Mishima’s The Sound of Waves, the foil characters,…
