Monogamy

Eldon Dedini was a talented cartoonist who had a very funny sense of humor. While some of his works referenced serious topics, he found a way to engage his audience with the lighter side of the issue. He had been known to say that, “the gag is the whole secret to cartooning.” It was his feeling that many people can draw, but that the joke is the importance to make the cartoon. Eldon Dedini was born in King City California June 29th 1921. His father was an Italian dairy farmer and a…

Legalistically, the evidence for God’s position on the subject of polygamy is quite irrefutable. Even though He allowed polygamy, it was clear that it was not His divine plan. Monogamy is the defining term for God’s ideal marital relationship. God did not accept polygamy or polyandry (one woman marrying more than one man) as the norm. In fact, in God’s eyes it was sin and it was only mentioned in the Bible so that we can read…

Gender roles are a huge part of our culture today and they are very important. Before looking at gender roles and gender stereotypes in our society, we first need to understand what they are. Gender roles are the norms we have set for each person to behave within their gender constraints. Gender stereotypes are what we assume the other gender should do based on over generalizations our society has created for us (Rathus, 2010, pg. 447). Without these set images on what gender should be, we would…

One of the main characters, Lenina Crowne is highly objectified by men, the society, and even herself. She sleeps with many men, which is normal in the Brave New World, as monogamy is not allowed. Many men, including Henry Foster, treat her as an object to have sex with and nothing more. These men in the Brave New World commonly “[talk] about [Lenina] as though she were a bit of meat” (Huxley 45-46). The objectification of…

I asked my father why my grandfather never send any of them to school, my father will tell me that back then, Gambia did not have western education system like it is today. He said Gambia was still under colonial rule and the only western school system in the country was centered in the capital city and not in the villages. Secondly, back in those days western education was not seen as a requirement to hold a chieftaincy position or to be a district leader of once territory. There was no…

Marriage is a concept older than any society or religion. It has gone through many changes through history and across the world. The idea of what defines a marriage has really heated up during the 20th century. In the late 60’s there was some scuttles with the police and gay areas in Ontario and New York. These started to lay a foundation down of what right a government has to interfere with a group of people that are causing no harm Through the 70 's the HIV/AIDS crisis came unfolding many…

Views on social justice are highly important in defining the roles of the state within society. The perspectives presented by John Rawls and Robert Nozick demonstrate two extremely different views of societal justice. Each of these philosophers give their own principles of justice, which are sets of rules society must follow in order to be just. In this paper, I will analyze the views of each of these thinkers. I will also argue that the Rawls’ principles of justice are preferable to Nozick’s…

Those traits that are carried on tend to be advantageous to that animal species. There is a major evolutionary purpose that monogamy provides for the Seahorse. The longer amount of time an act is practiced, then the more perfected it will become. This is just the case in Seahorse reproduction. The longer that a male and female Seahorse stay monogamous with each other, the more…

These examples are…
