caricature of westernized culture. We have allowed television throughout the years to become the main depiction of what we value and idealize as a collective group. Conversations and opinions on social topics like race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation are stimulated by content created from past and present television shows. And in return, society influences television content on these same issues. This symbiotic relationship is a quintessential example of a reflection looking…

96% of CEO positions, 86% of law firm partnerships, and 85% of tenured college faculty positions” (2001).

whether it be state or federal (or local), knows best what schools should be teaching. When it comes to sex education, the government has decided that abstinence-only lessons are the most effective. This is meant to keep high schoolers from engaging in sexual activity at all, and fails to acknowledge that although they are being told not to, high school students are still having sex.

adoption to create families, which is no easy task. When trying to adopt in the United States, same-sex couples face prejudice and legal barriers in the court system based only on their sexual orientations (Brown 17).

Although many of my peers would disagree, I think the transgender/sexual should have the right to use the restroom of the gender they identify with or have an alternate choice. Many could argue that it’s risky and dangerous, but imagine you were in the same position as a trans person. Some people may even agree with introducing unisex/neutral facilities. The dangers of a person of the opposite sex using the restroom they choose are very obvious, but is every person out to harm others in the…
