Essays

Sexual health is not restricted to the mere physical -- genital function. Sexuality comprises different facets. At the basic, instinctual level, it is the feeling of maleness or femaleness; and, how this sexuality and…

Many of the critics have observed comparisons that are among Hannibal Lecter and Dracula, a linking which Harris compounded in Hannibal Rising by creating Lecter, like Dracula, an Eastern European Count. Each characters share customs of malicious biting and a threateningly seductive attraction. A lot of Lecter's physical structures, for instance his burgundy tinted looking eyes which had sparked red when uncovered to light, his widow's top, and important wits (particularly smell), are also features of Dracula. This paper will discuss this contrast and differences of two men that shared the one quality that made then alike, living the life of killers and the things that motivated them to feed this terror.

Hugh Hefner has often been represented as a key player in the cultural objectification of women in the United States. Critics of his magazine have "argued that Playboy encourages men to eschew the responsibilities of…

This paper covers three different three-page questions about Communist China. Under the leader of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong, China became a police state. It is no longer allowed for people to question their rulers. They also cannot seek out personal satisfaction if their desires happen to counter the wants of the Communist party.

Comparing and contrasting two works of art from the Renaissance. Selected works of art are Donatello's David and Michelangelo's David. Both are sculptures. Both depict the Biblical story of David and Goliath. However, these are two very different depictions. The Donatello version is smaller and made of bronze, whereas the Michelangelo version is 7 feet tall and made of marble. Both are homoerotic.

This paper discusses two works of art from the Baroque period. It talks about Bernini's "Ecstasy of St. Teresa" and also about Caravaggio's "Crucifixion of St. Peter." The two paintings illustrate how religion can be not all about perfect pristine things. It can be sensual and it also can be very violent and ugly, both of which need to be remembered.

[Woman] is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is the incidental, the inessential. He is the Subject, he is the Absolute -- she is the Other. -- Simone de Beauvoir.

Interdisciplinary Studies – Academic Disciplines – Communications and Women's Studies Communications Studies and Women's Studies are wide-ranging globally important disciplines with applications in fields as diverse as education, law, business and nonprofit administration, for a few examples. Arizona State University has excellent programs in both Disciplines. The ASU Hugh Downs School of Human Communication takes a comprehensive approach to the area of "Communications," encompassing both Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. By studying and critiquing human communications, ASU's program seeks to create "knowledge, creativity and understanding" vital to families, workplaces and communities. Stressing foundational knowledge of communication theories, research methods, conceptual knowledge and practical communications skills, the program is focused on creating globally effective professionals in communications-related fields such as law, business, sales, human resources, public relations and management of nonprofit organizations. By preparing undergraduates and graduates for communications-related fields that are relevant worldwide, ASU is addressing the needs of an increasingly complex, shrinking globe. Equally globally relevant is Arizona State's Women's Studies program. ASU offers Women's Studies within the broader context of "Social Transformation," a field that also probes African and African American Studies, Asian Pacific American Studies, Culture, Society and Education, Justice and Social Inquiry. Clearly, ASU's Women's Studies program is not a narrow topic that is merely focused inward; rather, it is an interdisciplinary, diverse, multiple-perspective program seeking to engage students in various majors, minors and other fields of study. The obvious object of such a program is its students' readiness for local and global relevance by tackling such subfields as gender, health, sexuality, science and technology, work, globalization, ecology, social policy, violence prevention, media, film, performance and the arts through specifically named subfields such as: Culture; Economics; Film; History; Literature; Politics; and Science. In sum, though Communications Studies and Women's Studies are treated as distinct Disciplines, their ultimate purpose is the preparation of individuals for worldwide multidisciplinary relevance.

Compulsory Heterosexuality & Lesbian Existence; Restricted Sexuality & Female Resistance

What are the reasons that some adolescents get involved in risky behaviors such as reckless sexual activities, drugs, and alcohol? This paper critiques and provides critical analysis for four peer-reviewed articles on the subject of risky adolescent behaviors. One subject that is compelling reviews adolescents that have sex at very young ages - or at more mature ages - and how that works out in terms of social adjustment. Other articles investigate risky sexual behaviors in rural and urban settings. The literature is thorough and compelling, and worthy of attention.
