Abstract This paper looks at the stages of a child's development as seen through Freud's work. The different stages of development are briefly discussed including; oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital.
From the Paper "Children are the eyes to the future. How a child's life is formed determines how our future is shaped. Sigmund Freud laid down the basic foundation of a person's personality. He said that person 's personality is formed by the time they reach the age of five. Freud said that a child's early experiences determines their adult personalities."
Abstract This paper discusses the various sodomy laws that invade people's privacy and govern what they can and cannot do in the bedroom. It states the weird laws in some states, with even life in prison punishments for sodomy. Sodomy laws prohibit oral and anal sex between consenting adults. It includes tables and charts containing historical data about sodomy laws in the United States.
From the Paper "Many hold the opinion that in a free society, consenting adults should not be put in jail unless they physically harm the person or property of another. The government, however, feels that it has an obligation to protect the people from the use various acts. By making and upholding laws that make these acts illegal, the government goes so far as to govern the bedrooms of American citizens with sodomy or crimes against nature laws. This paper will examine the origin of sodomy laws, their restrictions, their proliferation, and the people's right to privacy. Origin Sodomy laws generally prohibit oral and anal sex, even between consenting adults. The exact origin of sodomy laws is not clear, but they probably stem from religious and historical beliefs about sexuality and sodomy. "
Abstract This paper discusses the diagnosis, treatment and short and long-term prognosis of VATER. The paper relates that, in order to assess VATER, one first needs to understand why this condition is named VATER. VATER stands for V(Vertebral Anomalies--where half of the vertebra is formed or the bones are abnormally small), A (Anal defects, such as anal atresia or imperforate anus), TE (Tracheo-Esophageal Defects--Esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula), R (Renal defects--a single umbilical artery, which might be associated with urinary defects), L (Limb Defects--absence or displaced digits or fused digits). The paper concludes that it will be likely be a while before the root cause of VATER-the genes (one or more) are identified.

Treatment and Prognosis
From the Paper "Based on the symptoms that VATER association presents, it would appear that treatment modalities would involve intensive and corrective, and perhaps, repeated or simultaneous, surgery. One of the concepts that are used in the treatment of VATER is combined surgery. This involves a team of surgeons who perform the surgeries simultaneously. A study on three patients illustrates this treatment method. A ten month old boy underwent surgery of the left aortic arch as well as esophagogastronomy for esophageal atresia. The second patient a 15 day old girl also underwent a cardiac procedure and additional surgery to shift the diaphragm. An eight month old boy underwent surgery to repair an atrial septal defect and also surgery of the trachea. All surgeries were successful and the prognosis based on follow up testing was good.

Abstract This paper explains the evaluation of emotional development of Freud's Five-Stage Theory. The writer claims that his theories on the inner workings of the human mind, which seemed so revolutionary at the turn of the century, are now widely accepted by most schools of psychological thought.
From the Paper ?Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is probably the most well known theorist when it comes to the development of personality. Freud's Stages of Psychosexual Development are, like other stage theories, completed in a predetermined sequence and can result in either successful completion or a healthy personality or can result in failure, leading to an unhealthy personality.?
Abstract The paper studies Sigmund Freud and his many theories about sexuality. It details his early childhood and how his theories are used today. It also describes his way of dividing life into five stages: the Oral stage, the Anal stage, the Phallic Stage, the Latency stage, and finally the Genital stage. It concludes by examining the question of Freud's sanity, was he crazy or just a genius?
From the Paper "Sigmund Freud is best known for his theories about sexuality and how an individual develops from it. In his eyes, sexual development is the main focus of psychopathology. Even though his theories were very controversial they were the most influential in his time and even today are still held very highly in some societies. So, who was this "rebellious" man? What are his theories? Are his theories really valuable today? "

Abstract The following paper discusses the issue of child molestation, a pervasive social issue, which in all cases proves to be psychologically, and emotionally damaging for the victim. The writer examines how child sexual abuse cases have declined somewhat after a sharp rise in the 80s decade but are still a persistent social evil which cannot be ignored because of its profound effect on the victim and his/her family. The paper thus addresses the question of the victim's recovery and the impact of the incident on people close to him/her.

Methodology
From the Paper "Child molestation or child sexual abuse is a heinous crime, which can be psychologically and emotionally damaging for the young victim. The reason why the healing process at this age takes longer than it would in the case of older victims is because children are cognitively unprepared fro sex. They are thus unable to analyze the actions of the molester and are left in a state of utter confusion, which often includes shame and embarrassment. Thus children are unable to forget the experience or overpower its negative impact and when not treated in time, the scars of sexual abuse can later destroy a person's adult life and relationships.It is believed that many school aged children in the United States encounter sexual abuse in one form or another but the reason why tens of hundreds of such cases go unreported is because of the embarrassment of the victim which often doesn"t allow him to discuss the situation with anyone and the threat of dire consequences often given by offenders."
Abstract This paper defines various forms of abuse and focuses on sexual abuse on children. It looks at the effects of this abuse from many different angles. It begins by examining the emotional effects which are expressed in the form of traumatic sexualization, stigmatization, betrayal and powerlessness. It also explores the developmental effects, both short term and long term. The paper concludes with a look at "Megan's Law" which requires local authorities to inform a neighborhood if a convicted child molester lives there.
From the Paper "Child sexual abuse involves a broad range of sexual behaviors that take place between a child and an older person. These sexual behaviors are planned to erotically stir the older person, commonly without concern for the consequences, choices, or outcome of the behavior upon the child. Definite conducts that are sexually offensive frequently involve bodily contact, such as in the state of sexual kissing, touching, fondling of genitals, and oral, anal, or vaginal contact. Nevertheless, behaviors might be sexually abusive even if they do not entail contact, such as in the case of genital exposure, verbal force for sex, and sexual abuse for purposes of prostitution or pornography."

From the Paper "INTRODUCTION
This research examines environmental health regulation in the United States and Canada. The approach to environmental health regulation in the two countries is compared and contrasted through considerations of historical development, motivations2 for intensified legislation, and current and future trends.
DEFINING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Environmental health, as a concept, contains elements of both environmental protection and public health, although the scope of environmental health does not encompass the totality of either environmental protection or public health. An important element of environmental protection, as an example, is the development and implementation of public policy to protect sensitive ecological areas. The policies designed to protect areas such as Prince William.."
Abstract This paper depicts the representation of race in the novel "Passing" by Nella Larsen and describes the role it plays in the lives of the characters involved.
Abstract The structural theory is about the id, ego and superego, their interaction and how equilibrium between them is necessary for a human to grow normally. The psychosexual stages of development outline the oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital stages. The Oedipus Complex must also be resolved in order for a person to develop healthily.

Abstract This paper analyzes Alfred Hitchcock's film "North by Northwest," while detailing the areas in which the director inserted homosexual references, albeit on a sub-textual level. This paper discusses the critical analyses of Robin Wood, author of "The Murderous Gays: Hitchcock's Homophobia" and D.A. Miller author "Anal Rope," who both explore Hitchcock's use of gay images in many of his films. This well-written paper details the manner in which the main character of Roger Thornhill's homosexuality is portrayed as perverse. The writer of this paper clearly describes how Thornhill's character is at first gay, his perception of the perversity of homosexuality which force him to become somebody else, resulting in his being reborn as a heterosexual. This paper also touches on the attitude of the film industry in the 1940s and 1950s regarding the issue of homosexuality, which at the time was considered illegal.
From the Paper "The scene at Townsend's is a critical situation in Thornhill's character development. This is the first time that Thornhill is introduced to Van Damme, and at this point, Van Damme closes the drapes and turns on the lights. This presents two points that portray a homoerotic meaning. First, drapes in Hitchcock movies are usually portrayed as vaginal symbols. When Van Damme closes the drapes, he is denying Thornhill any kind of heterosexual sex. His turning on the light symbolizes the lighting of Thornhill's passion for Van Damme. The other point is that, with the drapes closed, they are free to do whatever they want without the intrusion of voyeuristic eyes. This is the beginning of the subtextual homoerotic relationship between Thornhill and Van Damme, which will play a major part in the overall context of homosexuality in the film."

Abstract Sexual practices of all groups of people have been under the microscope since the first discovery of HIV/AIDS. Most of the data has been related to gay and bisexual men and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV/AIDS. This paper argues that there is a group of people that also have a risk of transmitting STDs who have not been studied extensively. This group is the lesbian and bisexual woman.
From the Paper "While the incidence of STDs may not be as great, that, by no means, indicates a low risk factor. The lack of knowledge about the transmission of diseases is a factor in the prevalence of transmission. There seems to be a lack of printed information about the transmission of STDs in the lesbian community. Additionally, the lack of communication in the lesbian community with each other about these increasing risks leads to unsafe sexual practices. As with heterosexual partners, the possibility of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases through oral sex seems to come as a surprise to many people."
Abstract The paper relates that the human papillomavirus is responsible for a number of different conditions, including anal warts, genital warts, precervical cancer and cervical cancer. The paper explains the risk factors for genital warts, their symptoms and possible treatments. The paper then discusses the effectiveness of pap test screening which is the single most important tool for preventing cervical cancer.
From the Paper "Human papillomavirus is fairly common; everyone has heard of it. Most people know it as the sexually transmitted disease that causes genital warts and cervical cancer. Those people are correct; however, there is so much more to HPV than that. With over 100 types of HPV there is a huge number of possibilities as to what can be learned about HPV.
"These viruses are called papillomaviruses because of their ability to cause warts, or papillomas, which are benign tumors. HPV may also cause no symptoms. In the majority of cases, the virus is present silently in the skin and goes away spontaneously within three to six months. Unlike the Herpes simplex virus, HPV does not persist throughout one's lifetime after infection. The human papillomavirus is responsible for a number of different conditions, including anal warts, genital warts, precervical cancer, and cervical cancer."
Abstract The paper explains Freud's structural theory about the id, ego and superego, their interaction and how equilibrium between them is necessary for a human to grow normally. The paper then explains Freud's psychosexual stages of development and outlines the oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital stages. Finally, the paper shows how Freud's Oedipus Complex must also be resolved in order for a person to develop healthfully.

From the Paper "Sigmund Freud was undoubtedly one of the most controversial psychologists of the 20th century. His psychoanalysis theory deeply influenced developmental psychology during the 1910s to 1940s, and his theory of psychoanalysis--personality structure, dynamics, psychosexual development, mechanism, and psychotherapy technique was really accepted and favored at the time. However, he did have critics. Not only did psychologists of opposing theories greatly doubt his theory, but also some of his followers countered part of Freud's theory and established different theories that in general are called neo-psychoanalytic theories (Perlman, 1980)."
