...The penis By Hanif Kureishi This essay will focus on how Hanif Kureishi uses humor and different points of view to portray his image of the human relationship to and appreciation of objects and likewise. Hanif Kureishi makes use of two of the three theories that has been set around humor. Hanif Kureishi uses ‘the relief theory’ and ‘the incongruity theory’. The relief theory is based around the fact that the reader is going to have a set of taboos or subjects that they do not like to talk about or discuss. Some of these taboos are often things as pornography, genitalia and sex in general, all of which we see in the story. Talking about or being confronted with these taboos will often cause an individual to feel ashamed or nervous. So by confronting the reader with his or her taboos Hanif Kureishi is forcing the reader to deal with his or her shame and/or nervousness and the most common way of doing so is by laughing. Hanif Kureishi implements this in the text by creating a main character, in this case Doug, whom is an “actor” in the industry of pornography, and by writing very obviously about Doug’s work experiences, doings and deeds. And of course there is the huge walking and talking penis… Should it be the case that pornography, genitalia nor sex is not included in the readers list of taboos Hanif Kureishi also makes use of the incongruity theory. The incongruity theory is base aroung the fact that the reader has an assumption about how the world is and works, about...

...Valentine – 3). For most cultures all around the world, this is their case. People have grown up learning strictly about these distinctions; people are labeled as male or female according to the sexual organs they were born with and must identify as feminine or masculine with their looks, without there being an in between or even a slight glimpse of a change occurring in society. It could be that they choose to turn their backs on these issues because of their culture, religions, and/ or personal beliefs or people are just not well informed of what these titles carry. For someone that does not struggle to conform with society’s ‘acceptable way’ of gender it is no issue to fit in when it comes to that part of their lives. However, to a transgendered person, for example, fitting into a certain gender/ sex is an everyday struggle. Sex and gender have become the main distinction all over the world; it would be very hard to get rid of this. Personally, I do not believe that there will ever come a day where the existing gender binary completely disappears but I do believe that changes may be done to it over time. In an issue like gender binary, nurture ironically beats nature. People are not born hating homosexuals, transgender people, bisexuals, etc., that sort of hatred is acquired throughout the years and growing up in a society that puts a huge emphasis on such divisions makes it very difficult to have a majority support it rather than oppose it. It is an issue that unless a person...

Or for those of you who aren't exactly a spring chicken anymore, what would you pay to feel and look better than you did in your prime? What about you gym Junkies that spend hundreds of dollars on supplements protein powders and gym memberships but you can't get anywhere. At least anywhere close to any goal you've ever set for yourself. And you're definitely not anywhere close to having the body you want. what would you be willing to sacrifice or pay? All these things can be achieved with a simple injection a couple times a week for a couple months. For those of you who can't handle needles there's a pill. You guessed it steroids. Steroids have been given a bad reputation. Mostly due to overuse and abuse. Steroids can do amazing things if properly used. Let’s be honest. Fair amounts of us are doing far more damage to our livers consuming alcohol, Friday nights. This damage is far more than a healthy bodybuilder who eats good and exercises could possibly be doing with his use of an oralbased substance. Besides, the liver is the fastest repairing organ in the human body, so even if you did some minimal damage with an oral steroid, a little liver cleanse from your local GNC will have you good as new in no time. What makes me mad is anytime I hear anything about steroids all I hear is crap...

We will NOT have class that night. 1. Discuss the history of sex over the past 400 years. Have people always been uptight about sexual activity? What took place that changed attitudes regarding sexuality? Discuss devices used in Medieval times to prevent sexual activity. Do you think that suck devices could be used today? 2. Which method do sexuality researchers most often use to collect data? Name three (3) benefits and three (3) issues with this method of data collection. If you were a sexuality researcher, and you did not want to use the previously mentioned method, which would you use? What are the two (2) benefits and (2) issues with using your technique? **The most common methods used are surveys. Benefits of surveys are that they are less expensive than interviews, they are more convenient in a way that it makes people feel more relaxed, it reinforces anonymity, and you can do them on your own time, whenever you please. Some issues this method has are that self-report data can cause difficulties in recalling past events, embellishment, and not an accurate return rate. If I did not use surveys as a method, I would probably chose case studies. Benefits are that they are very in depth, and you get consistent data over a period of time through follow-ups. Issues with this method are that there...

... Gender Identity Introduction The endocrine system is made up of several glands that secrete different hormones. These glands are the: Pituitary, Pineal, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Thymus, Pancreas, and Adrenal Glands as well as the ovaries and testes. All of these glands have a hand in generating hormones responsible for different behaviors either directly or indirectly. “Gender identity is how we feel about and express our gender and gender roles — clothing, behavior, and personal appearance. It is a feeling that we have as early as age two or three” ("Gender And Gender Identity", 2001). While there is much to say about the brain and its relationship to personal gender identity it is also very evident that the interaction between hormones and behavior is a deciding factor as well. Biological Factors & Gender Identity Our personal biology is what we are born with, things that are distinctive to us. Whether someone has red or blonde hair, brown or blue eyes, or light or dark skin is part of their biology. More specifically our sexual organs are perhaps the most distinctive parts of our biology because they set the groundwork for how we will be viewed by society, whether we personally feel that way or not. I say this because our sexual organs will inevitably determine our appearance. Having male organs causes boys/men secrete more androgens or male hormones (testosterone) than girls. Because they secrete a larger amount of these hormones they will develop more “male” characteristics...

...Vol. 1 January 2012 IAMURE International Journal of Lesbian, Gays, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Morphological Analysis of Gay’s Spoken Discourse ARIEL B. LUNZAGA abl.slsu.to@gmail.com HERMABETH O. BENDULO VIOLETA B. FELISILDA SOUTHERN LEYTE STATE UNIVERSITY Philippines Abstract The language of gays known as gayspeak has now earned respect from the community and observably been infused in the mainstream language of the society. Language is evolving and with its changing nature, existing language needs to be documented for posterity reasons. Gayspeak is not an exemption. It has to be analyzed especially its morphology. This study focused on the morphological analysis of the language of gays who were studying at SLSUTomas Oppus in SY 2009-2010. Specifically, it identified the common vocabulary of local gays and the corresponding meanings through a self-administered questionnaire and an informal conversation. Based from the information provided by 20 purposively selected college gays, it was learned that gayspeak is simply an adaptation of the mainstream language like English, Filipino, and Cebuano. For purposes of shielding from the chasms of the heterosexuals, gays construct their language through simple reversal, syllabic reversal, simple reversal with affixation, clipping with affixation, straight words with affixation, and connotation through images. It was concluded that the spoken discourse of college gays in the campus violates the rules of English grammar yet used...

...sculptures, specifically his piece “Things that get you up/Things that get you down.” (Figure ) Bartel created a standing figure with outstretched arms with little bumps for hands, polka dot overalls with an erection showing through them, a skull in place of a head, and the figures are displayed standing in heart-shaped piles of dirt. Looking just at the figure, different sections of the body appear to be referencing different ages. The midsection of the body is more round, and with the outstretched arms seems to be referencing a small child wanting to be held. The size of the sculpture also re-enforces the feeling of being approached by a child, as it stands 40 inches tall, which is the height of an average 4 year old. The longer legs and erect penis suggests adulthood and fertilization. It also acts as a reference to the cynical humor and intense sexual drive of early adulthood. The head...

...Karen Horney-Pioneer in Woman Psychology Latascha Purdie PSY 310 June 4, 2012 Professor Meadowlark Karen Horney-Pioneer in Woman Psychology Men dominated the world of psychology but in 1885 a woman was born that was going to challenge his or her theories. Karen Horney was considered a pioneer theorist in personality, psychoanalysis and “feminine psychology.” Her life and works contributed to the change in how female psychology was looked at and studied. From birth to death Karen Horney was born September 16, 1885 in Blankenese, Germany that is near Hamburg, to a family of seven. Her mother Clothilde Marie was the second wife of widower Berndt Danielsen, and he was in his 40s when Horney was born (Hitchcock, 2005). She had little interaction with him because he was always away at work and during the times he was home, his four older children required most of his attention. She was very close to her mother and younger brother, so to her that was her family. In those times girls went to school up until 8th grade and after that they were groomed to be wife’s and mothers. This was not what Horney wanted to do and her opportunity came because in 1894 the first Gymnasium (our equivalent of high school) for girls opened in Baden, Germany, and finally in 1900 they started to offer classes for girls in the Gymnasium in Hamburg (Hitchcock, 2005). Horney was determined to join because the plans she had laid out for herself was to one-day attend a university. Both of her parents...

...Topic: Is Infant Circumcision Really Necessary? Circumcision, (in Latin circumcidere, means "to cut around"), “is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis” ("Circumcision," 2013). This is a practice that may be performed to an infant baby boy after birth or to a boy who is just approaching adolescence depending on the cultures or beliefs of the parents. There are many arguments concerning the best time for boys to undergo this procedure, and whether or not they should undergo this procedure. And like many surgical procedures, there are risks and benefits that may result from going through with this surgery. I believe in doing what is important and what is best for the child, meaning; catering to the boy’s interest is what I advocate. “There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%” ("Male circumcision for," 2012). World Health Organization also describes the efficacy of circumcision as proven beyond reasonable doubt, but states that provision of circumcision should be consistent with medical ethics and human rights principles. ("Male circumcision for," 2012). WHO and UNAIDS stated that “Informed consent, confidentiality and absence of coercion should be assured. . . . Where male circumcision is provided for minors (young boys and adolescents), there should be involvement of the child in the decision-making, and the child should be given the opportunity to provide assent or consent...

So this ment that sickert was unable to have intercourse.Sickerts artwork was one of the greatest clues to his crimes. His paintings are menacing and threatening towards women of a lower class. In other words, prostitutes. A few of Sickerts paintings resemble some of the Rippers crime scenes.

Sickert was a master of disguise and could of easily of lured a prostitute to her death and then escaped without being noticed. He had an unhealthy fascination with the human body that went far and beyond a normal person would. The ripper liked to write letters and disclose certain items in the letters at time. A lot of the letters were a hoax to keep the media buzzing. Over the course of the ripper murders, the police, newspapers and others received many hundreds of letters regarding the case. Some were well intentioned offers of advice for catching the killer but the majority of them were useless. “To date three ripper letters and eight Sickert letters have...

When people hear the news that they have been diagnosed with diabetes, it makes them feel frightened. In 2011, statistics show that in United States 25.8 million of children and adults has diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2012). American Indians and Alaska natives have a higher percentage of adults with diabetes than other ethnicities (Collazo-Clavell et all. 2009). Diabetes is a serious life-long illness caused by high level of glucose in the blood. This condition is when the body cannot produce insulin that is located in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that moderates the blood level. Diabetes affects the process of how the body uses blood sugar (Collazo-Clavell et all. 2009). Glucose is significant since it is “the main source of fuel” (Collazo-Clavell et all. 2009). There is no cure for diabetes but there are ways to lower the risks. Although diabetes is a disorder, it can also lead to other factors such as heart attack, kidney failure, or death. A person with diabetes has to maintain a healthy lifestyle including eating the right food, exercising, controlling their blood sugar level, and be optimistic.
