Pedophilia

Sexual assault is an epidemic that affects a tremendous number of people in the United States. According to a 2010 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control, 18.3% of women and 1.4% of men report experiencing rape at some point in their lives (Black et al., 2011). If convicted, the perpetrators of these crimes will often be mandated to undergo treatment as a means to lower their chance of re-offending. However, current models of sex offender treatment are not particularly effective,…

He says Sybil looks nice in her bathing suit and “kisses the arch” of her foot. However, when taking in context the horrific events of Seymour’s life it is clear that this is not pedophilia, but rather a desire for the innocence and purity that she has as a child because he understands that he will never get his back after participating in war. While Salinger primarily focuses on the materialism of Muriel, he never addresses Muriel’s…

sexual perversion and chaos,” Another movement is Concerned Women for America, an anti-feminist group create in 1979, which blamed gay people for a “radical leftist crusade” in America and, over the years, has occasionally equated homosexuality with pedophilia.” (Evelyn Schlatter). Correspondingly, on Feb. 23, 2005, the Pope called Same-Sex Marriage 'Evil ', says a source. He wore that "Homosexual marriages are part of 'a new ideology of evil ' that is…

They describe the concepts of tolerance and withdrawal, connecting the nature of pornography with that of illegal drugs, such as heroin or cocaine. Their article presents a solution to this problem using a process called structural therapy. Using a case example, the article explores the therapy process of…

Adjacent to privacy invasion risks, geotags pose an even bigger problem; physical threat. According to Abraham Maslow, humans require safety as a basic need to live and physical threats that stem from the negligent use of geotagging via social media threaten this fundament (1943). Since geotags reveal accurate location data, online criminals waiting to lure victims through the use of a computer are no longer contained by hidden location barriers, thus enhancing the risks of cyber-stalking.

Placing the words open and secret together forming a phrase in actuality creates an oxymoron; if a person becomes honestly open about conditions it no longer holds the clandestine characteristics defining a secret.

Consequently, Open Secrets seems inappropriate to title the Alice Munro short stories found within its covers, as they are all filled with characters, especially women, having…

are adults and give consent, then as long as the person doesn’t feel any distress about their paraphilia then it will remain just that, a paraphilia and not a paraphilic disorder, (Brannon, 2013). While paraphilia makes me immediately think of pedophilia (mostly likely because of philia,) there are actual plenty of types of paraphilia that are harmless, and that aren’t considered sexual offenses (Hucker, 2005). For instance, a person may enjoy watching other people undress or have sexual…

The timing of the birth of Jesus was the right time because it was the appointed time of God. God knew, before the earth was created, what He wanted to do and how life and history would unfold. This may sound odd, but I visualize the beginning of the world up until the birth of Jesus as a pregnancy. Just like time that goes by in a pregnancy, there are trimesters, or periods of time that are marked by specific events culminating in the birth of a child. Jesus, is that child and the different…
