    When a student is told to find a university level novel to read, what are they to do but scour the Internet for “short, easy, university level novels”? After extensive research, my group chose the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey. This book elicited great response from my group members and me, for its interesting plot and subject. After reading the first part, a common theme I noticed throughout the book is oppression, more specifically, political and industrial oppression.…

    Ken Kesey’s greatest achievement in the novel is his ability to create images they can be understood as literal for the narrator has a figurative for the reader. Even the most obvious examples of Chiefs distorted perceptions such as The combine can function as sharp and suggestive metaphors for the machine dominate the world that the noel aims to expose. A further example of Kesey’s genius is his creation of a mind style that is very different and extremely accessible. While the reader immediately sees the oddity of Chief’s worldview we see no difficulties understanding what he’s talking about either when his use of the machine source domain is at its most dense.…

    The research is done in the 1970s at a time when ‘tearooms’ was a reference for public toilets where men could have sex. At the time of the research, it was illegal and a crime for men to have sex with each other in the United States. Humphrey thought it would be of value to the society by trying to understand what encouraged men to indulge in this behavior. Humphrey declares that the men that partake in these homosexual activities originate from different backgrounds from all over the world and have different personal motives for seeking other homosexuals.…

    While watching the movie Kinsey, I was slightly uncomfortable watching it in a room full of strangers. But I can't say that it was a good educational film. Seeing that back then no one took the risk or was knowledgeable enough to discuss it to other people or the whole world. Even though it was a big risk, Alfred Kinsey took up the research of the subject. Human sexuality has changed so much since the 1940s to present day. Today, you see it and hear it everywhere. From friends to social media. I really like the scene from the film when he asked a question and chose a girl to answer and she freaks out on him when the answer was the eye. She protest that he can't have her answer a question like that in a room full of men and women. Before Kinsey…

    Many conversations have formed and developed from the topic of sexuality by many different types of individuals. The truth being ones sexuality is not truly developed until that individual is completely mature. This means we never truly find complete satisfaction within our sexuality. There are many experiences in life that can alter ones sexual development and behavior such as upbringing, religion, or ones culture. In this paper I will discuss three scenarios, all of them experiencing their own unique phase of life dealing with different stages of sexuality. I am pretending to be a therapist, and I am listing to each or the patient’s perspectives and stories. Hopefully by doing so I will be able to come up with a conclusion to why they are faced with what they are facing. I also would like to help each individual form a healthy wise decision, as well as ways to overcome the obstacle that are currently presented in their lives by expressing their sexuality. Each problem every individual in every situation is dealing with a sexual problem that is why discussing their sexuality will help me in aiding their problems.…

    Alfred Kinsey was an important figure during the sexual revolution, this is because he was often called the “father of the sexual revolution” because of his studies about American sexual behaviour. Kinsey and some of this colleagues did a serious study on the sexuality of people in America, and in 1948 published their results which left the states in awe (Macionis, J., & Gerber, L. 2012). However, years later another scientist named Edward Laumann also studied the sexual behaviour of Americans, he and his colleagues’ research turned out to be more reliable than that of Kinsey because as Laumann said in Thermidor in the Sexual Revolution “Professor Kinsey and the horde of popularizers and soi-disant researchers who followed in his wake were not neutral observers but cheerleaders, exhorting us to emigrate to a…

    Between the years of 1965 to 1968 Laud Humphreys, an ordained Episcopalian minister, conducted a dissertation research on men who have impersonal sex with men (Humphreys, 1970). Humphreys stated that, “ In the summer of 1965, I wrote a research paper on the subject of homosexuality. After reading the paper, my graduate advisor raised a question. The answer to which was not available from my data or from the literature on sexual deviance. ‘But where does the average guy go just to get a blowjob? That’s where you should do your research’” (Humphreys, 1970, P.16). Hence, Humphreys decided to do his research on the ‘Tearoom Trade: Impersonal sex in public places’ from a voyeur’s perspective, which was acting as a participant.…
