Incest

In Sophocles’ widely famous play, Oedipus the King; Oedipus is caught in a very complex situation. Incest. Incest...with his mother. That's not all the story is about though. The Gods are mad at Oedipus. You could say, he just can't win. Oedipus is king and becomes very arrogant throughout the story. Hubris is also a word you could use. Oedipus didn't actually know that he was in a relationship with his mother. Some people could say this is an action of Hubris, but it really isn't.…

The tale of Oedipus Rex is that of incest and murder, but to no fault of his own. He was dealt a tough hand by that of destiny, and was doomed even before conception. Although he did take part in both sinful acts, to his knowledge, he lived a wholesome life. His innocence in the matter is seen not only through his actions,but his ignorance towards his biological parents as well as the true curse on his family. As a young child, Oedipus was born into a family that did not want him, as they were…

promiscuous. This destructive behavior is learned from someone. Children and adults often “tell” by acting out. For a young child asking if they can touch grandpa's penis is a clue that something has happened to the child that shouldn’t have. Children of incest or long-term sexual abuse grow up to be wounded adults with complicated emotional issues. Unfortunately, the symptoms are misinterpreted or often dismissed. Are you promiscuous? Are you addicted to drugs and/or alcohol? You know if you…

Case study on Accomplices in Incest The scenario that I choose for this case study is about a fifteen-year-old female who was forcibly to have sex with her father and became a pregnant. By the time she discovered her pregnancy, it was 19 weeks pregnant. In this paper, I will provide different options my patient can consider and will be applying health care principles and theories to support the options offer to her. I believe that helping this young lady keep the fetus for the rest of pregnancy…

The White House may be the most iconic building in the United States. From the time the first cornerstone was laid in 1792, many renovations, influenced by several U.S. presidents, have taken place. The necessary changes that were made, included the entire interior reconstruction, new rooms to address expanding White House Staff, and the utilization of modern building materials. From its original construction, it has progressed and changed and will progress more. Some people may ask,…

family member should be able to have an abortion. A baby born from incest can have deformities and be a burden on a family. How can those against abortion deny the act of abortion to a twelve-years-old girl who is a victim of incest? A child born from incest should not have to live with the fact that his father could also be his uncle/grandpa. Abortion should be legal and especially in extreme cases like incest.…

at risk due to these circumstances: rape, incest, and maternal health. Rape can be very traumatizing for many females as it can cause one to have prolonged mental health effects. For example, when a rape victim experiences her first birth, the second stage of the birthing process is usually double the time length versus those who have no history of sexual assault…

figure out what is happening to Amalia the person. Amalia is characterized as a little girl with very pale skin and a skin condition. She gets blisters and burns from the sun very easily. When confronted by a doctor, he suggests to Amalia’s mother that incest might be a cause of this disorder. Baffled, the mother responds in the negative and the doctor claims it happens amongst approximately 10% of Puerto Ricans. The mother is appalled and angered at the suggestion and leaves the conversation at…

The U.S Supreme Court has deemed marriage a fundamental right. To limit this right there must be a compelling interest of the government that would prove limiting the right fair. Based on past rulings and lack of a valid argument against cousin marriage, it is clear that this law is unconstitutional. By using cases such as Loving v. Virginia, Obergefell v. Hodges, and Griswold v. Connecticut, it is clear to see that the fundamental right of marriage outweighs the few arguments put forth against…

drink, drugs, and sex. In particular, their sexuality and its perversions define them. “[I]t is impossible to segregate the tyrant’s sexuality from his political power: each symbolizes the other. His notorious perversions (adultery, bigamy, rape, incest, sadism, necrophilia…) are the sexual manifestation of his extraordinary relation to the laws and norms of the polis.”[1] The tyrant wants more; their disordered desire means they are seen as eros incarnate[2]. No matter how much a tyrant has,…
