Motherhood

The LGBT young adults and adolescents were the two populations that were selected in this participatory research. They selected participants who matched their study based on age (21-25), self-identification to ethnicity to LGBT and having a minimal of one parent during the adolescence LGBT life experience. The LGBT young adults that were enlisted was taken sampled of 245 Latino and

Pascoe, in which they both explore sociological topics such as sexuality and gender in relation to American high school students. Though there are some differences, for example in terms of approach. In her book, Pascoe looks at the student body in general, while Woolley focuses on LGBTQ students. Specifically, Woolley’s research expands upon Pascoe’s chapter of LGBTQ violence by using more participants, and includes a much more detailed analysis compared to Pascoe’s. In this context, the two pieces of literature complement each other in a way that one can fill in any gaps that the other piece might have, and vice versa. Because of this, Woolley’s article is useful when analyzing the sociological concepts examined in Pascoe’s

Throughout Arthur Miller's The Crucible revenge is a common theme. Within the madness of the witch hunt many are convicted, due to people seeking revenge. In this play revenge corrupts people’s minds and tries to persuade them to do things that are unethical in order for one’s own benefit. In The Crucible revenge is portrayed negatively. By the cold hearted and greedy townspeople in Salem, as they accuse each other of witchcraft. Many of the characters disregard their own values and morals in seek of revenge. They act on their fellow townspeople’s fears, whilst taking great pleasure in blaming others is a common trait many of these characters possess. In Arthur Miller’s The Crucible the concepts

Ethical concerns, such as making sure to get parental consent of the minor participants and making sure students were aware of voluntary participation, were addressed and helped to meet ethical guidelines as outlined in ACA (2014) ethical standards. The researchers addressed a cultural strategy by including a question about students’ sexual orientation instead of just their gender identification (Hinduja & Patchin, 2013). This could help the gay, lesbian, bisexual, or questioning students feel that they are being heard because they are represented in the data. Also, the researchers wanted to obtain a sample representative of the diverse population and utilized random sampling and a large

The first three sets of theory incorporated the levels, shifting levels of identities shaped by outside agencies for LGBT youth. Another social factor that impending on young sexual minorities are the threats of poverty. These threats cause LGBT youth to experience vulnerability and detriment to their identities. Corliss et al. research validates that statement. In their article, “High Burden of Homelessness Among Sexual-Minority Adolescents: Findings From a Representative, Massachusetts High School, Sample,” they review the prevalence of homelessness in LGBT and heterosexual adolescents (Corliss et al. 1683). Their findings include: 40% LGBT student in the Massachusetts

It was concluded that 250 United States college students between the ages of 17-19 from the Mid-South region were the individuals being tested for this study. A total of 178 females and 72 males were given a multitude of surveys that they were asked to fill out as honestly as possible regarding their sexual gender stereotypes.

In “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe, love is the untouchable yet ever present theme from which all events flow. Roderick Usher, stricken with the results of incest, appears to refuse to do the unspeakable out of terror. Roderick Usher, also stricken with loneliness, appears to plead for the company of a childhood friend. Roderick Usher, stricken with terror as well, is slain as his house implodes. Each of these actions, upon analysis, demonstrates the most common love of all: self love. Self love is evident in prevalent selfishness, as at the center of every pivotal moment, there lies a wish of Roderick’s. While Roderick lives in a hell of the Usher family’s making, Roderick cannot escape his thoughts which drive him to the only thing he knows, himself. Because he only knows himself, as the narrator and Madeline are extensions of him and his insanity, he naturally fights to sustain himself and all that he knows. The love that could appear to be familial or incestory is a concoction of Roderick’s mind, demonstrating his insanity, depression, and loneliness. Roderick is enamored with himself shown through the character of Madeline and the narrator as extensions of Roderick, through his immense planning and thoughts of his fears, and through his general self absorption that can be referred to as love.

Grossman, Arnold H. Anthony R. D’Augelli. “Transgender Youth: Invisible and Vulnerable.” Journal of Homosexuality. Vol. 51, No. 1 (2006): pages 111-128. Web. 25 June 2015. Arnold H. Grossman, a professor of Applied Psychology at New York University, and Anthony R. D’Augelli, professor of Human Development at Pennsylvania State University, did a study of Transgender youth from ages 15 to 21. The study was designed to determine the factors that affect the youth, who either identify as transgender or their gender does not fit the normal gender descriptions. Focus groups were used as nonthreatening environment to examine the youths’ social and emotional experiences. The study not only provided insight on their emotional and social experiences but

"Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servant hood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves and enjoy doing their jobs as mothers." (Stanley) . According to Betty Rollin 's essay, "Motherhood: Who Needs It?", Rollin argues that mothering, preconceived as a biological necessity, is in fact, a psychological desire. Rollin quotes psychiatrist Dr. Richard Rabkin: "Women don 't need to be mothers any more than they need spaghetti... But if you 're in a world where everyone is eating spaghetti, thinking they need it and want it, you will think so too." (Rollin 102) Although one 's society may have the power to influence his or her eating habits, a mothers desire to have children is an entirely different issue. Many women often want to have children and go through motherhood because of social pressure, to please their spouse, and to be "happy".

The participants were 12 Old Dominion University students, six were female and six were male. The students were drawn from campus housing and the university library. Six of the participants received a vignette with Tara on it, and the other six received one with Michael on it. Each group of six was composed of three females and three males. The participants were between the ages of 21-24 years of age, the average being 22.3. The people that received the vignette with Tara were 3 Hispanic females, 1 Hispanic male, 1 Caucasian male, and 1 African American male. The people who received the one with Michael were 2 Caucasian females, 1 African American female, and 3 Caucasian males.

With the ideas Rollin presents, it gives the audience the idea that motherhood is not like it used to be. Humanity does not need or care for motherhood anymore. Motherhood is just an excuse to satisfy the needs of the majority of people. Rollin begins to convey the act of motherhood as an excuse for women to feel superior to men. Women feel empty and are in need for a change to show what they are worth. It has been passed on from generation to generation and is extremely common from females to continued to the path of motherhood.

The participants for this study consisted of 48 students from the University of West Alabama, recruited from the General Psychology Research Participation Pool. Individuals who participated in the research study received credit toward their course requirement as compensation for participating in the study. All participants provided informed consent and debriefing before the study began. All of the participants filledparticipants filled out a demographics sheetsheet (See Appendix D). More females than males participated in the study, with 66.7% representing females and 33.3% representing males. The majority of the participants were freshman with 60.4%. There were also 22.9% of sophomores and 16.7% juniors. The majority

There is an inherent irony in how the field of scientific study presents itself as 'objective ' and 'neutral ', yet is rife with gender bias, stereotyping and a severe lack of women/queer people in the field. This lack of visibility and equality does not simply exist within a bubble of the scientific community. Whether it is through the lens of the development of sexology or the medical community, the trappings of homophobia, transphobia and anti-queerness have had long lasting ramifications not only within the scientific community, but in normal people 's everyday lives. It is with this understanding that I will analyze critiques laid against the scientific community and its impact on my life as a self-identified queer person.

Methods: The participants in this study were found using advertising methods, and were willing to be a part of it with their own consent. This is an empirical research study because it uses actual statistics rather than quoting the experts. It is also a quantitative study because it results in statistical information and conclusive findings. There was a mixture of female same-sex, female mixed-sex, male same-sex, and male mixed-sex couples participating. Many people joined this study, but some had to be removed because they were not in a romantic relationship and some did not want to answer the questions being
