" FLIRTATION AND SEXUALITY
Introduction
The subject of interpersonal flirtation and sexuality has been examined across a variety of situations such as the workplace or at school (Crano & Messe, 1995) and across a variety male/female behaviors (Dworetzky, 1995) in diverse populations such as young people, older people, neurotics and/or psychotics (Papalia & Olds, 1995; Sue, Sue & Sue, 1994). The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the most current research in this area.

Flirtation and Communication
A good deal of the general research in the area of flirtation has examined it in relation to the communication of sexually-related themes such as communicating that one is.."

"This study will examine and compare the views of male-female relationships and marriage in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (Brett and Romero), Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (Clarissa and Richard), and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Elizabeth and Darcy). The study will show that the Brett-Romero relationship is the most passionate, shallow and brief, while the Elizabeth-Darcy and Clarissa-Richard relationships are relatively without passion and yet will probably survive precisely because both partners seek a long-term union with stability and security rather than short-term passion. In all three relationships, the more fascinating and more fully examined member is the woman, with each reflecting a different level of passion, liberation, and self-knowledge.

Hemingway portrays the brief and sexually charged..."

"Women's role and status changed considerably from the decade after the Civil War to the years of the Bush presidency. While women's status remained secondary to men throughout this time (and through the present) in terms of such generally accepted markers of social standing as political power, economic independence and cultural importance, women during this period in many ways ceased to be regarded as only mothers, daughters or wives and became simply human beings with their own identities independent from the men to whom they were related.

Charting the changes that women underwent during this period of time is a difficult one for a number of reasons. To begin with, while some changes can be quantified or at least assessed (women's salaries as compared to men?s, for example, or the equitableness of divorce laws), others cannot. How an individual woman..."

"This paper is an examination of the economic and societal changes that are creating the latest changes in the meaning of family, home, and male and female roles within the family in America. These concepts have always been evolving in response to industrialization, technology, and economic forces within the larger society. Definitions and roles that are considered traditional are actually no more permanent than newer responses. The feminist movement and women's liberation efforts are as much an economic response as they are a societal realization that the sexes have an inherent right to equal treatment. Although sociologists disagree about the extent to which gender equality has been established or can be established, male/female relations within marriage have undergone fundamental changes over the last few decades. This evolution is certain to continue, irrevocably..."

"SEXUAL HARASSMENT AS AN ETHICAL DILEMMA

This research considers sexual harassment as an ethical dilemma in the business (or organizational) environment. Within the realm of ethics, balance theory, the optimal rational model, the bounded rational model, the intuitive model, and the concept of propinquity are discussed.
The topic of sexual harassment has become increasingly importance in the United States as women-the usual targets of sexual harassment-have come to comprise a larger proportion of the country's work force (Lee & Greenlaw, 1995). A study of federal workers revealed that 42 percent of the female employees reported being sexually harassed within a two-year period (Merit Systems Protection Board, 1988). Another study found that one-half or more of working women can expect to be sexually harassed during their ..."

Abstract
"This paper is an examination of the differences in communication styles, content, and method of interpretation that are the result of gender. As bestsellers such as John Gray's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus point out, men and women frequently appear to be speaking entirely different languages, even when the vocabulary, syntax, and grammar they use are identical

"This paper is an examination of the differences in communication styles, content, and method of interpretation that are the result of gender. As bestsellers such as John Gray's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus point out, men and women frequently appear to be speaking entirely different languages, even when the vocabulary, syntax, and grammar they use are identical. This is partly the result of the inherent garbling that occurs within any communication process, but it is also because of essential differences between the two sexes. The contrasts in biology, anatomy, and genes provide the initial reason for gender miscommunication, while the influences of society account for the fundamentally contrasting ways in which men and women select the messages they send and transmit to others. Understanding these differences can offer fascinating ..."

"The report entitled Sexual Behavior in the Human Female is the result of research conducted by a number of scientists. This report was the second, after the volume on male sexual behavior, in a projected series. Like the first book the present volume is often referred to by the phrase the "Kinsey Report," after the originator of the project, and its lead researcher, Dr. Alfred Kinsey, a biologist from Indiana University. On being asked by the University to teach a course in sex education Kinsey was shocked to discover the near complete lack of reliable information on the subject. An entomologist by training, Kinsey found that the few available studies of the subject of sexual behavior "lacked the statistical validity [he] deemed essential" and so he began to conduct his own interviews (Brecher 112). Kinsey began his research with the decision that because so much..."

Abstract
In the popular press, much of the discussion about television's influence has focused on television violence or sex on television. However, television's portrays of both women and men may also have a significant influence on children's development. Certainly both young children and adolescents recognize that women and men are filling specific gender roles on television programs.

"Non-Traditional Gender Roles on Television And Their Effects on Children


Introduction
In the popular press, much of the discussion about television's influence has focused on television violence or sex on television. However, television's portrays of both women and men may also have a significant influence on children's development. Certainly both young children and adolescents recognize that women and men are filling specific gender roles on television programs. In a 1995 survey of more than 2,000 children in third to twelfth grades, for example, 55% of the girls indicated that there were too few programs about females ..."

"The Modern Gay and Lesbian Political Movement

Introduction
The modern movement to gain civil and political rights for sexual minority persons has been operating at some level throughout this century. However, there was no significant progress culturally and legally until the 1970s. At that point, the gay/lesbian movement built upon the surging African-American civil rights movement and feminist rights movement and began to gain success.

The sexual minority political movement, as it has developed in the United States during the last thirty years, has helped articulate a new politics. This movement rejected the sharp distinction between the public and private realms and has largely maintained that politics is deeply personal. The intention in ..."

"The Internet has enjoyed explosive growth in recent years, as people worldwide go online in search of information, entertainment, and commerce. No business has benefited more from the online craze than purveyors of pornography. The anonymity of using the Internet has made it the medium of choice for consumers of adult material. The pervasiveness of pornography in cyberspace has prompted many American lawmakers to call for limitations or even an outright ban of such material. In this paper, I will argue that any attempts to ban pornography on the Internet are unwise, unworkable, and unconstitutional.


Those who would censor pornography on the Internet cite several reasons. First and foremost, they want to protect children, who will be harmed by continued exposure to pornography at a young age. Proponents of the Communications Decency Act (CDA)..."

"Introduction
In the past, Christianity often linked sexuality with sin. Specific Bible text which related to sex were extrapolated to develop church doctrine that restricted sexual expression. While rigidly fundamentalist Christian groups continue to take a dim view of sex, many mainstream groups have begun to reconsider sex-ual expression and its role in the Christian life. Much of the focus on sexuality in modern Christianity relates to the existence of a moral crisis in society.


Society Has Become Increasingly Secular
Society once looked to religious leaders to set community standards of morality. Christians today decry the replacement of traditional moral values with a new morality based on relativism. With relativism, meaning nothing is absolutely right or wrong; choices are made depending..."

"Introduction
The role of women in the early church reflects the role of women in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. The attitudes shown toward women in scripture and in the way the early church developed show a certain ambivalence, seeing women both as a treasure to be protected and as a source of potential evil. These attitudes begin in Genesis with the story of the Creation and the Fall, and indeed much of what follows in terms of how women are viewed can be traced to the belief that Eve brought disease and death into a world that had been perfect before she was seduced by Satan. In the early church, women were relegated to a subordinate position for both reasons -- they needed the protection of men, and they were not quite trusted because of their potential for sin. An examination..."

"This paper examines several concepts relevant to social work study which are raised in two short stories, David Leavitt's "Danny in Transit" and Jacquelyn Holt Park's "Columbia." Both stories offer sensitive and unique perspectives on the concept of homosexual identity formation and adolescent personality development. Both illustrate some of the personal and societal barriers faced by an individual coming to terms with a homosexual identity. "Danny in Transit" also provides insight into the effects of such identity recognition within a family and a boy about to enter adolescence, as he faces the subsequent breakdown of his family. These issues are important to social work because they present challenges, concerns, and prejudices which a contemporary social worker is likely to face in the course of providing help to both clients and their families. As more..."

Abstract
A discussion of Manuel Puig's ?Kiss of the Spider Woman" about the relationship which develops between two men sharing a cell. The analysis and commentary consists of a short summary of the plot of the book, commentary on issues of style, themes, historical or political context, language and structure, and questions for further discussion.

From the Paper
"In ?Kiss of the Spider Woman,? Manuel Puig weaves a story of two men sharing a prison cell in an Argentine jail and the unlikely devotion and friendship that develops as they are forced to pass their days together. Molina, a middle-aged homosexual is serving time for corrupting a minor. Valentin, a macho revolutionary, is there due to his socialist politics. They pass the days and nights listening to Molina recite and act out scenes from his favorite movies. Their friendship eventually becomes sexual, and in the end they evolve into an ironic role reversal, with Molina dying from his involvement in politics and Valentin retreating into a dream world to escape the pain of torture (Puig 1991)."
