Pedophilia

Abel’s theory is considered the first to really examine cognitive distortions in sexual offending, his theory does not give much information. These next two theories are commonly accepted as two of the stronger theories of cognitive distortions in pedophilia, both of which attempt…

right or wrong put them at odds with the power of the government. In this empire there was not a sharp dichotomy between heterosexuality and homosexuality and therefore, the government was not interested in regarding the morality of prostitution or pedophilia. Paul wrote to people living in that world, “… the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men … will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were…

women and sometimes men don’t consent to sleep with the individuals who rape them. That is why they win more often the lawsuits that they call into court. Additionally, these are six deeds of the fourteen acts under the main point of perversion: pedophilia (no consent), bestiality, fetishism, masturbation, incest, and necrophilia. All of these sexual acts based on my own moral judgements are wrong except for masturbation and fetishism. Nicholas Dixon, a professor at Alma College, argues that…

Parents and administrators therefore fear…

It focuses on actions that are morally right and forward-looking. When…

The 2016 election surprised everyone with the success of Donald Trump and Mike Pence as Vice/President of the United States. This will result in a “full-blown assault on LGBTQ rights (Signorile)” that many younger LGBT community members have no experienced. Despite what Trump may say, he is no friend of the gay and lesbian community. His running mate, Mike Pence, is even worse. People have claimed that “the vice president… would really be the “CEO” - or, the president of the company - while…

However, while their subject of research of research was similar, their theories and works were quite disparate, yet even further juxtaposed, their stances on certain issues in psychology, especially the nature verses nurture debate, are actually akin.
