"Fang Fu Ruan's fascinating book Sex in China is a history of sexual behavior in the world's largest nation during the past 3,000 years. As Ruan demonstrates in the historical data he has compiled, sexual liberty, rather than repression, was usually the rule in China for the first 2,000 years of recorded history. Yet, for the past 1,000 years, since the Sung Dynasty (960-1279), the repression of sexuality increasingly became the norm. In the last half of the twentieth century, under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), this repression has reached its highest pitch. Prior to the centuries of repression, however, the Chinese made the broadest and most practical of contributions to sexology of almost any nation in the world. It is Ruan's hope that these ancient texts will prove to be helpful to the Chinese people once again. But, in the meantime, he studies the ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the combination of sex and art, looking at two poems where the poets have made an attempt to work out where sex and love connect. The erotica of Sharon Olds' poem "Sex Without Love" is explored, as well as E.E. Cummings' sensual poem "She Being Brand".
From the Paper
"Two terms seeming to often coincide, making love and poetry. The act of making love, sex, and sensuality are greatly utilized topics in writing, painting and even music. However, some may argue that this combination, sex and art, is odd in our media drenched America. Today, Eros parallels pornography and explicit sexual content, both ?located on a continuum of erotic desire and dread? (Ostriker 327). Many poets have made an attempt to conquer the tangles and complications of sex and love, drawing connections between love of bodies and love of mind, leaving the abstract to the sensuous and the logical to the emotional. Sharon Olds, author of the poem ?Sex Without Love,? presents her audience with physically and sexually charged poetry. From no angle do her poems disguise erotic desires."

From the Paper
"Guilt and shame are often intimately tied to criminal acts involving sex offenses. There is a body of research suggesting that the presence of guilt and shame among sex offenders may inhibit any efforts toward building empathy within the scope of a rehabilitative treatment program. Kubany & Watson (2003) for example suggest that the construct of guilt has received relatively little attention from researchers but may have a negative impact on programs designed to help build empathy among sex offenders. They propose a multi-dimensional model to measure the magnitude of guilt one may experience after a negative event, suggesting that the more guilt a sex offender feels the more likely the guilt is to affect their ability or capacity to express empathy."

Abstract
This paper examines the possibilities of more than two sexes from a biological and sociological viewpoint. The paper points out the problems faced by those who do not fit into the two sex definition.
From the Paper
"The definition of intersexuality sets a basis to be able to group Sterling?s ?five sexes? into their own subgroups. The standard medical definition of intersexuality or intersex refers to the three major subgroups with some mixture of male and female characteristics, which include: the ?herms,? ?ferms,? and ?merms.? The hermaphrodites or ?herms,? posses one testis and one ovary, the productive gonads. In some cases, with the true hermaphrodites, the testis and ovary grow separately but bilaterally. In other people, they grow together within the same organ, forming an ovo-testis. ?Usually the sperm cells or eggs function quite well, along with the production of sex hormones such as: estrogen and androgen.? (Taylor 99-101)"

From the Paper
"Sociological theory has identified behavior that is outside the norms of a society to be deviant behavior. This report will present the major theories of deviant behavior and will discuss premarital sex. The major sex therapists will be identified in part three, and the controversy of abortion will be presented in part four.
Theories of Social Deviance
Social living is, by definition, living according to the regulations of a group (Horton and Leslie, 1982). Those regulations may be formal, as the codified laws of a society, or informal norms, such as the customs and expectations of a society. Deviant behavior occurs when a person or group of people violate the norms of a society. There are several theories regarding why deviant behavior occurs."

Single-Sex High Schools, 2005.
Research proposal for studying how students that attend single-sex high schools are affected by the lack of contact with the opposite sex.

Abstract
This research proposal addresses the impact that single-sex high schools have on those who attend them. The proposal includes a discussion about the problems associated with single-sex schools, as well as an examination of single-sex schools and co-ed schools. The paper examines the consequences of attending a single-sex high school and then moves on to a co-ed college in terms of academic, relationship, and human nature issues. The paper also discusses some of the drawbacks expected from attending a single-sex school and asks what the outcomes of those assumptions are. Relevant literature is reviewed and a method of study is proposed.
From the Paper
"When students enter college they are expected to have both the experience and maturity to handle the venture. Students are expected to be able to interact with many different types of people from both genders. They are expected to understand how to have a platonic relationship with the opposite sex so that teams, projects and other things can be fully experienced by all of the students. It is presumed that attending coed schools leading up to the college years will prepare the students for the college experience. During high school students get crushes, learn to study with and participate in class activities with the opposite sex and generally by the time they attend college they have moved past the giggly girls of middle school or the boys who become tongue tied when faced with female companionship."

Sex Has Been Gender All Along, 2007.
An examination of the re-framing of the concepts "sex" and "gender".

Abstract
This paper re-frames the concepts of "sex" and "gender". In this paper the term "sex" refers primarily to biological traits, while the term "gender" refers to the behaviors associated with a particular biological sex, rather than merely the biological sex itself. The paper shows that the existentialist Simone de Beauvoir was one of the trailblazers who opened up this field, while Judith Butler completely re-framed the concepts of "sex" and "gender." The paper then points out that Butler's re-framing moved the spotlight from a subject self with a biological sex/gender, to a performance of gender. The paper also looks at how this re-framing of "sex" and "gender" has had the consequence of freeing gender expression from previous restrictions - at least theoretically. The writer concludes that no gender positions are natural, or entirely dictated by biology. Rather, they are all constructed.
From the Paper
"Up until around the middle of the 20th century, it was almost universally believed that gender is assigned by biology, so that maleness inevitably implies masculinity, and femaleness inevitably implies femininity. It was also widely assumed that all infants are born clearly and indisputably either one sex or the other, and that once they reach sexual maturity they will inevitably and universally wish to choose a sexual partner of the opposite sex. This group of assumptions is sometimes referred to as biological essentialism (Butler; Fausto-Sterling, Sexing the Body; Salih)."

Sex Education: Safety or Abstinence?, 2002.
This paper argues that a comprehensive sex education curriculum should be followed instead of the abstinence-only sex education curriculum.

Abstract
This paper explains that 81 percent of parents and guardians polled favor sex education programs that teach all aspects of sex and sexuality, which include how to use birth control and how to protect against STDs, instead of the widespread abstinence-only and dangers of sex program. The author stresses that, even with most schools teaching abstinence-only programs, the approach isn?t working very well; teenagers are not abstaining from sex. The paper concludes that teaching teens about the dangers of STDs and the consequences and responsibility that surrounds sexual relationships may actually be reinforcing abstinence as the safest way.
From the Paper
?In 1996, a companion bill was put onto the Welfare Reform Act. This bill budgeted $440 million over the span of five years to support abstinence-only sex education. In order for school districts to receive funding, they are required to tell the kids that ?sexual activity outside the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects? and that ?a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity.? The kids are not to be told about condoms, birth control, or any other protection methods except to highlight their failure rates. Right now, every state except California accepts this funding. In recent news, the Bush administration is attempting to put forth an initiative to increase the funding for this abstinence-only policy."

Abstract
Relationships are complex and can be complicated by a longing for a lasting commitment. For this reason, many have opted to simply have sex without any type of commitment (sex with no strings attached). Others hold the belief that sex is a pledge to be committed. The purpose of this discussion is to explain why sex must involve commitment.

Definition of Sex from a Committal Point of View
Adverse Affects of Noncommittal Sex
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another reason why some believe that sex should be committal is the adverse effects of noncommittal sex. They assert that there are social, physical and emotional ramifications to noncommittal sex.(Mathewes-Green) The social ramifications have to do with the stigma that is attached to people (mainly women) that engage in noncommittal and or promiscuous sexual acts. In addition, noncommittal sex can lead to unwanted pregnancies, which increase the number of individuals that are dependent upon the welfare system. (Mathewes-Green) Unwanted pregnancies also increase the number of abortions that are performed and the overall being of our society is jeopardized when unwanted children are born to mothers that are immature and not ready to parent.

Sex Offender Notification, 2002.
This paper looks at the issue of sex offender notification, making the claim that the rights of potential child rape victims take precedence over the rights of convicted sex offenders.

Abstract
This paper argues that community notification of the presence of sex offenders in their neighborhoods should be required. Some of the points the writer emphasizes are that a sex offender's right to privacy is surrendered when he commits his first offense and that the rights of normal law-abiding citizens must in the case of sex offenders outweigh the rights of criminals.
From the Paper
"In recent years the issue of the safety of potential victims versus the privacy rights of convicted sex offenders has been debated hotly in the media. Emotional reaction runs high when a child is brutally assaulted and murdered. Public outrage multiplies when a repeat offender is the perpetrator. In 1994 Megan Kanka, a 7 year old new Jersey girl was raped and strangled to death by a twice convicted sex offender living in her neighborhood. Shocked response resulted in the passing of what has come to be known as Megan?s Law. Since Megan?s Law was passed in 1996 all states are required to enact sex offender notification statutes. States have complied in various ways, instituting laws and registries. Databases for at least thirty four states can now be accessed via the internet. The constitutionality of Megan?s Law has been argued and re-argued as activists contest violation of individual rights of released perpetrators. Publicity has made it difficult for parole boards and social workers to place discharged offenders. In a few instances neighborhood groups have responded to notification with unprovoked vigilante action. It is the argument of this paper that justification for the notification of communities to the presence of sex offenders far outweighs any counter argument. People should most definitely be notified of sex offenders in their neighborhoods. This notification should not only be attempted but should me aggressively pursued to assure total coverage."

Confucius Thought and Shaolin Kung Fu, 2004.
Examines how the martial art of Kung Fu draws its philosophies from Confucian ideas.
2,021 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Comprehension of Confucius's ideas opens the door to understanding the philosophical reasoning of other Chinese principles, such as the martial art known as Kung Fu. The paper shows the message that seems to be extolled in ?gong fu?, or Kung Fu, is that there is a way, path, or message that, if followed, will lead to happiness and Heaven. This is a Buddhist philosophy and an integral component to the disciplines of Zen Buddhism, as well as the martial art of Shaolin Kung Fu. The paper explains that, while Kung Fu is considered a martial art, and, as such, deals with the physical realities of learning to defend oneself, it is also a component of a spiritual or religious sect. It shows, therefore, that the tenets of Confucianism cannot be separated from the art of Kung Fu.
From the Paper
"It is only by going 'outside oneself' that a person is able to overcome the restrictions of suffering and to reach Nirvana. Kung Fu embraces an understanding of reason, modeled on the natural world, which equates spiritual attainment with the successful manipulation of nature and natural phenomenon."

Abstract
This paper reviews the article "The Fundamental Argument for Same-Sex Marriage," by Ralph Wedgwood. The paper discusses the arguments in the article in favor of same-sex marriage. It analyzes the history of same-sex marriages and looks at the efforts to lobby the government to legitimize these marriages as equal rights.
From the Paper
"A Critical Review of "The Fundamental Argument for Same-Sex Marriage," by Ralph Wedgwood Same-sex relationships have been part of human life for thousands of years. During those years, people in those relationships have sought some kind of legitimacy for them. Recently, efforts have been made to gain both legal and societal acceptance of same-sex marriages. These efforts have been made largely in the political arena, with various groups lobbying for what they term as equal rights under the law. Ralph Wedgwood addresses the objections that accompany this argument in his article, "The Fundamental Argument for Same-Sex Marriage." "

Same-Sex Adoption, 2005.
Shows through a literature research that adoption by a same-sex couple should be encouraged.

Abstract
The subject of same-sex marriages and same-sex adoption are very hot topics these days. The author of this paper argues that same-sex couples are just as qualified to be parents as are heterosexual couples when it comes to adopting children. The author argues that same-sex couples are looked upon as being different from the norm of society and they are being unjustly judged by their sexuality and not their ability to love and care for a child. Does sexuality determine if we are good enough to care for a child? The paper shows that same-sex couples have the ability to raise a child and to educate them as well as anybody else. If they have good jobs and are able to provide an excellent life for a child then why would they be considered unfit to be able to adopt children? This idea has been supported by some state legislatures as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics. The paper concludes that same sex-couples have just as much right to adopt children as anybody else.

From the Paper
"It is widely felt that children who have two parents in the family, whatever their age, sex or relationship, do better than a child who has just one parent (4). The AAP's policy statement is consistent with positions on same-sex issues already adopted by APA and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP). Both organizations believe that there is no evidence to suggest that gay or lesbian parents are any better or worse when it comes to parenting skills. There is also not data that supports the conservatives' issue that children who are raised by homosexual parents are more unstable emotionally, or have more developmental problems than children raised in traditional heterosexual families."
