Jamie may not be able to defend his case because they are both blood brother and sister as we assume considering the facts given from the scenario , but if it comes out that she is not blood related, they cannot charge him with incest, but charge him with lewd or lascivious battery, committing a 2nd degree felony under Florida law. Florida statute 800.04 defines lewd or lascivious battery as engaging in sexual activity with a person 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age. Because according to Cersei, she claims that Jamie had sexual intercourse with her since the beginning of summer. In addition, Jamie knew her sister is a minor of age 14 and he is 23 years old.…

According to biologist and anthropologist, “ascribe what they coyly or quaintly call the incest taboo to an instinctual, genetically embedded, aversion, rooted in the risks of heightened homozygosity” (Goodman, 2010). Morally, it is wrong due to a child not coming out healthy and normal due to incest. According to Goodman in Some moral minima. The Good Society, offspring of close kin lose some of the protection of a diploid genome, which are copies of important key genes too often disturbingly match defective alleles inherited my an ancestor shared by the same people (Goodman, 2010). Biologically it in immoral. In my opinion it is also a privacy issue, as well as a safety issue because incest in the home may not be requested between the two persons and this leads to people being…

659-672). The four personality disorders classified in cluster B, Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD), BPD, Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Cluster B disorders share common symptomatic difficulties with interpersonal relationships, patterns of dramatic behavior and distorted sense of self-image. With each of these disorders, individuals struggle to relate to others which can cause impairment in social functioning. Symptomatic criteria having similar dimensions have a tendency to overlap during the process of differential diagnosis. If the criterions are met for more than one disorder then they are both diagnosed. Two conditions that share similar symptoms with BPD are Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder…

From this Theories of Personality course, I have learned many concepts that I can apply to my life and would help me in my future career. I really enjoyed the chapter on personality disorders. I find it interesting that there are various types of personality disorders that surround me on a daily basis and not being aware of them. The three types of personalities are distinguished by Cluster A (weird); Cluster B (wild); Cluster C (worried). The one that I am most intrigued by is the wild cluster. Cluster B is called the dramatic, emotional, and erratic cluster. Some personality disorders associated with it are antisocial, narcissistic, borderline, and histrionic. Between these disorders, I became most interested in in borderline and histrionic. I have encountered some individuals with this type of personality disorder before and now I can diagnose them. My previous relationship, I believe that my ex was in between borderline and histrionic. He used to be very controlling and would say things like he would die or kill himself if him and I were ever to break up. He…
One out of every ten homes is not a home, but the cell of an incest victim, a child waiting in terror night after night, hoping against experience that her father will not come to her room tonight, that her body and trust will not be violated again (Vander Mey & Neff, 1986). I brought up the topic of incest in a conversation I was having with some close friends and out of the 5 people I was talking with, only one did not laugh at least once during the conversation. Does this mean that we find the topic of incest something that both parties are consenting to or that the underlying problem of child abuse is not recognized because this abuse is within your family? A document from the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (2009) describes incest as sexual contact between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal (e.g., parents and children, uncles/aunts and nieces/nephews, etc.). This usually takes the form of an older family member sexually abusing a child or adolescent. Incest by a female (mother) is generally viewed as untrue because as a society we turn a blind eye to the fact that someone who is supposed to support us, teach us how to be a mother and be the shoulder to cry on could ever be the one to hurt a child sexually. Incest against females by females has added to the social issue of Incest because as society we are in denial. The social issue of incest has yet to be addressed as an ongoing problem as many people believe that it only happens once and that the person responsible feels guilty and does not do it again. Reality is that even if guilty many continue to abuse their children sexually “I remember that I touched my daughter about 60 or 70 times and a lot o those times we had intercourse. I usually felt really guilty about this and didn’t know how to deal with it” (Martens, 1988). As a society we are quick to place blame on…
