And that's the problem. The difficulty of locating sources that document same-sex love and sexuality is legendary
The problem of tracing the movement, then, springs from the fact that historians and academicians had difficulty searching for data, information, and other documents that can prove the existence and practice of same-sex sexual orientation from the 18th to 19th centuries. More than just the problem of locating documents that could prove the existence of homosexuality in these early years, Rupp also experienced problems proving the gender differences between male and female homosexuality, since one of the objectives she tried establishing is that homosexuality "in the case of women" tend "to reveal emotional attachments to other women...we often do not know whether the behavior says anything about love or desire."
After Rupp has posed the scholarly question of the origins and historicity of same-sex sexual orientation movement, "Improper Bostonians" chronicles the lives of famous personalities -- both men and women -- who have had "private lives," that is, lives of homosexuals. Detailing the lives of famous American personalities (who are also homosexuals) has helped historians, academicians, and generally, the popular audience, in understanding the nature of homosexuality in the movement's early development. Notably, among the most...
The dominance of artists in the collection demonstrated how homosexual lives were documented "figuratively" through the literary works of these artists, as historians were faced with problems of unearthing historical documents (i.e., correspondences and photos explicitly showing their sexual preference for a partner).
Lastly, the collection of narratives/essays in "Come Out Fighting" details the thoughts of artists, historians, and even scientists as the movement strengthened and fully evolved in the 20th century. Examples of these developments include Alfred Kinsey's discussion of the biological roots of homosexuality, illustrated through the homosexual play, explicitly shows that homosexuality is a natural phenomenon not entirely unique among mammals, but in other animals as well. Carl Wittman's "A Gay Manifesto" assumes the radical stance assumed by Marx's "Communist Manifesto," putting homosexuality not only on a historical light, but on a political perspective as well -- that is, as a political issue that should concern modern society, a reality in modern society that must be tolerated, if not fully accepted.
sexual orientation and whether it is the result of the nature or environment has been the source of acrimonious debate for several decades. The debate has involved a wide spectrum of individuals such as scientists, religious officials, politicians, and the general public. Both sides of the issue possess strong feelings that they are correct in their assessment and the emotional nature of the issue has caused hard feelings to
Young adults are on the threshold between youthful behaviors and the adult world. Humans in their late teens begin to accept responsibilities for their own lives and learn to depend upon themselves financially, socially, and psychologically. This is also the time when they make life choices which will ultimately shape their futures and the people they eventually become. Renowned theorist Daniel Levinson defines adult development in the age between 17
According to Flowers (2002), the first vector concerning "developing competence" can assume three individual forms: (a) intellectual, (b) physical, and - interpersonal. The second vector, "managing emotions," is the stage at which college students first begin to become aware of their emotions and attempt to regulate their emotions to produce maximum behavioral outcomes; the third vector, "moving through autonomy toward interdependence," involves students seeking to become more self-directed, and self-sufficient,
The only medical issues documented in this report are acute findings that potentially relate to the assault or preexisting medical factors that could influence interpretation of findings. Separate medical documentation by examiners and other involved clinicians follows a standard approach -- address acute complaints, gather pertinent historical data, describe findings, and document treatment and follow-up care; and (2) Ensuring the accuracy and objectivity of medical forensic reports by seeking
Infant Physical, Cognitive and Social Development One of the most important aspects of a child's physical, cognitive and social development is motor skills development. In this case, an infant is expected to master fine and gross motor skills in order for him/her to effectively explore the surrounding environment/world. Gross motor skills are considered as large muscles movements such as arms and legs whereas fine motor skills are considered are movements of
The college atmosphere plays an integral role in the social development of students. As per the college student development theory (CSDT), college significantly contributes to students' academic, cognitive, social, psychological, as well as spiritual and moral development (Patton et al., 2016). Indeed, CSDT provides student affairs practitioners with a solid foundation for practice. More specifically, given the widespread prevalence of development-related issues in colleges, such as attrition, violence, suicide, and
