Promiscuity

female prostitute, it was not until the 1700s that bawd was strictly feminine and no longer applied to both sexes as it was in previous centuries. The etymology of the word bawd is uncertain; there is no outright connection to anything that denotes promiscuity or sexuality, however, there is a possibility the word is a French abbreviation. The lack of certainty of the origin of the word bawd provides the word with greater contextual malleability,…

whatever she says to her daughter will go over her head and she will still go on to become her own woman; a woman that will not be socially accepted within the Antiguan community. She predetermines that her daughter has already gone down the path of promiscuity. She tells her how to dress appropriately as not entice men. She wants to prevent her daughter from becoming a prostitute, as many young girls living in poor communities do in order to make money and survive. She has no confidence in her…

the passage of PRWORA (Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996), INCLUDE REF stating the need to control welfare fraud and welfare dependency, amongst other behaviors exhibited by welfare recipients, such as sexual promiscuity and having children out of wedlock.

Stigma surrounding abortion, and the ‘types of women’ who terminate their pregnancies, has historical connotation; as historically, abortion was commonly associated with promiscuity, pre-marital sex and prostitution.

The 1923 silent movie, East and West, is a great depiction of how customs and life in general differed in the traditional polish town, compared to the more westernized American family and the capital Vienna. Throughout the movie, the viewer can make distinction of how different East and West are portrayed; by their looks and even the very different values, that each of the worlds has, as well as how coming in contact with the West affects the East. In East and West there is a clear distinction…

that of the psychoanalytical theory. I mentioned sexual repression last week as a part of the Governesses’ decent into madness; however, this week’s theory gives more of a backdrop for that eventual loss of sanity. During the Victorian era, sexual promiscuity was forbidden; therefore, any sexual repression had to remain unsatisfied. James takes sexual repression to an all-time high, by subtly writing about sexuality. Obviously, James- pioneering a new age of literary knowledge chose to present…

difference. Nevertheless, Sharpe James took yellow-journalism and ad hominem abusive into something much cruder and used it in his favor. Sharpe James had insight that someone out of Booker’s campaign was scene in Sights, a club centered around promiscuity. Contrarily, this is an example of ad hominem tu-quoque for Booker’s campaign later found out that James himself was also in the club at one point.
