Incest

relationship between colonization and incest behaviors amongst populations of these beetles. Although the species is indicated to have strong relative, kin, and familial recognition, similar to the lemurs studied by Boulet, the difference of the environment and ecological barriers that were present in the beetle populations have major consequences on their mating choices. (Jordal, Beaver, and Kirkendall, 2001) The sociobiological theory approach to incest avoidance also takes into consideration the role of biological and ecological limitations which enforce different pressures on alternate types of environmental relationships (Hartung, 1985). There were consistent differences between the beetle populaces that include incest and inbreeding vs…

One of the most influential studies about incest is found in Claude Lévi-Strauss’ The Elementary Structures of Kinship, where the anthropological aspect of incest is discussed. Although this paper’s analysis is focused on Lacan’s psychoanalytical theory of desire, Lévi-Strauss theory of the structures of kinship has been used in almost every discussion about incest; therefore it should be explained before moving farther with this paper. Lévi-Strauss establishes the structures of kinship, which…

Not only does SeaWorld separate the mothers from their calves, but they also force incest among the whales. Like our own species, incest is seen as taboo to whales.

Another instance of this was with a whale named Kohana who bred with her uncle Keto two different times. Kohana rejected both of those offspring (Hargrove). It is clear that…

Incel Movement Introduction The Incel, also known Involuntarily Celibate, Movement is a branch off of the Men’s Rights Movement. The Men’s Rights Movement was started simply because women had tried to get equal rights and then men had started to band together to oppose the movement because the men “are now the ones being oppressed”. The difference with the Incel Movement is that the men in this community or solely focused on the fact that women will not have sex with them. Because I know the…

Abortion Anti-abortion really stirs up many questions on whether or not women have the right to have an abortion. Being against abortion, I think that woman should not have the right to have an abortion, and the human fetus is a human being that does have the right to live and fulfill a spot into today’s society along with making an impact in some way.
