The slideshow really made me feel sick. I have known about STIs by reading some articles on the internet instead of being taught at school. STIs seem to be a very sensitive issue in my hometown, so adults or teachers usually avoid talking about it. As a result, I thought HIV/AIDS is the most dangerous and popular disease, and other STIs only happened to someone that is “unlucky” and could be cured easily. This slideshow was an eye opener for me since this was the first time I saw many actual…

offenders and it's effect upon communities. Due to the actions of sex offenders, there are many laws that have been passed in order to notify the community, and restrict sex offenders liberties to encourage good behavior. While sex offenders committing crime compared to other criminal behavior is usually less, communities would request more restrictions on sex offenders and to severely punish them. Even while monitored closely, sex offenders are often unwelcome in the community putting a lot of…

tied to the notion of ‘sexual objectification’; men are considered as ‘subjects’ and women through male gaze, are deemed as ‘objects’ within heterosexual sexual relationship. This notion of ‘sexual objectification’, as Ferguson further claimed, not merely connoted the submissiveness of females’ sexuality, but it also permitted male ‘sexual terrorism’ towards women within the production and/or consumption of pornography (Ferguson, 1984: 108). In order to defend females’ sexual freedom under the…

are either oral, written down, or given with self-confidence, the declarant makes the statement outside of court, and motions that statements are truthful about the event in question (Gardner & Anderson, 2016).

It was found that, “Out-of-court…

Sigmund Freud, claimed that sexual acts were all rooted and based on psychology (Terry, 2013, pp. 28-29). In addition, a study conducted by Hammer and Glueck, found that "all offenders exhibited five key characteristics: a reaction to massive Oedipal entanglements; castration fear or feelings and fear of approaching mature females psychosexually; interpersonal inhibitions of schizoid to schizophrenic proportions..." (Terry, 2013 p. 36). This shows how unique sexual offenders are as a group and…

Most sexual offenses are committed by someone the victim knows, approximately 73%, the remainder 27% are strangers. The offender is perfect at hiding his sin. When things begin to come to light family members dismiss these clues because it seems hard to believe…

which both parties continue to have other sexual partnerships. (Buszin et. al, 2009, p.4). Since it is not a shameful act to have several sexual partners, the risk of HIV transmission increases. Also, marriage is not a common institution in the Garifuna culture. In fact, a legal marriage occurs in just a small number of households (Buszin et. al, 2009, p.3). The study by Buszin et. al found that, of the pooled sample, those single had an average of 4.9 sexual partners in a month’s time, while…

sleep and that she was not willing to engage in sexual activities with him but didn’t have a choice in the matter. Alec is a menacing, devious man that would do almost anything to corrupt the mind and body of an innocent, inexperienced woman which happened to be Tess. On the other hand, even though Anastasia was not reluctant to partake in intercourse she was however ignorant to the fact that her sexual desires was not the same as Christians’ sexual desires. He wanted a woman that would succumb…
