    Sexuality was redefined in France through what Historians and Sociologist considered then “The Sexual Revolution.” In recent years, historians have begun to emphasize the gradual nature of the sexual revolution that took place in the West from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Deeming it the “long sexual revolution,” they deemphasize the significance of any single event or moment in favor of a longer view that recognizes a slow and steady process of change. The Long Sexual Revolution is the change in sexual appearance, predominately, a women appearance through the course of many significant events, such as May 68, and with the influence of media. The Journal of the History of Sexuality is a multi-volume series…

    These included the sexuality of women, pedagogization of children’s sex, socialization of procreative behavior, and psychiatrization of perverse pleasure. “…It is worth remembering that the first figure to be invested by the deployment of sexuality, one of the first to be "sexualized," was the "idle" woman” (121). The hysterization of women’s bodies conceived a female’s physique as a symbol of sex; it became a focus for public attention and discipline. As a result, women became a center for medicinal knowledge. Second, the sexuality of children considered young adults as extremely carnal beings and thus, had to be studied and controlled via adults, pastors, doctors.…

    In a culture that supports the right of free choice, groups such as the Religious Alliance Against Pornography (RAAP) will have a very difficult time spreading their message and achieving their cause. RAAP is a group trying to mobilize a sexually driven culture against porn; this is an almost unobtainable task. They might have certain luck in a few individuals but ultimately they will never be able to make pornography go away. Pornography is defined by Ros Coward as acts that are sexual and is about sexual difference according to a society’s interpretations of the pornographic (Kaite, 1995). The definition of pornography given in our text states it as any written, visual, or spoken material depicting sexual activity or genital exposure that is intended to arouse the viewer (Crooks & Baur, 2005). These are textbook definitions, but adolescents of today have completely different views, most of them finding pornography an amusing subject. A definition taken from Urban Dictionary (1999-2007) says porn is “a great American pastime. Baseball lost its title when the Internet was invented.” The term “pornography” as said by Thornburgh and Lin (2002), has no well-defined meaning. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart observed, “I can’t define it [obscenity], but I know it when I see it” (Thornburgh & Lin, 2002). Clearly, not only would this group have to work against film industries and magazine empires, but there is also the boundless amount of sexually based material on the Internet. There is also the matter of the quickly aroused male. Being a girl, I cannot confirm or deny this, but from observation men can take anything they find sexually pleasing and turn it into porn. Whether from scenes in a movie, to an advertisement billboard with a half naked woman on it, anything can be taking and made into porn, it is a matter of the person not the material. In the end I do not think that the RAAP or any group like it will ever be able to stop the flood of pornography.…

    Ethics can be described as a set of moral principles or the discipline of dealing with what is good and bad. Every individual has their own opinion of what is right and wrong so the subject of ethics is a very controversial one. There are a wide variety of situations in which ethics can be applied. Three of these situations include, human resources dealing discrimination in the workplace, drug testing on animals, and sexual harassment.…

    As with general sociological theory, one of the persistent issues in gender theory is a focus on the tension between human agency and social structure. While most theories of gender—including radical feminism, intersectionality approaches, postmodernism, and queer theory—address both agency and social structure, implicit in their theoretical assumptions are the sources of social praxis. Because of their differing analyses on the source of social praxis, they analyze structure and agency differently.…
