Philosophy: Is Sexuality Socially Constructed? Analytical Essay by Top Papers

This paper looks at the argument raised by Jeffrey Weeks that human sexuality is socially constructed. As time allows, the paper lists the five institutions that plainly influence human sexuality and "construct" it in a social or visible sense. After that has been done, the essay looks at two of the social institutions which invite the greatest interest from this writer because they appear to be the most intimate and impactful: our family and kinship ties and social regulatory forces like peer pressure and outside acceptance.
