...As a repercussion of original sin, lust entered the world and the perfect spousal meaning of the body on Earth was lost. Man lost trust in God and grasped at what was thought to be happiness and through that loss of trust came sins such as lust. “Man no longer experienced sexual desire as the power to be a gift to one another. Instead, they desired to grasp and possess one another for their own gratification”. “This indicates that they have lost sight of the meaning of the spousal meaning of their bodies, but it also indicates an inherent need to protect the spousal meaning of the body from the degradation of lust” Lust is defined as an uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire. “Lust is often thought of as some benefit to the sexual relationship or it is conceived of as an increase or intensification of sexual desire. In reality, lust is a reduction of the original fullness God intended for sexual desire.” One would argue that denying lust is a restriction but lust is actually like chains, enslaving. “A person who cannot say ‘no’ to lust is enslaved”. When we desire the true, the good, and the beautiful, which we can find through the gospel as well as giving our sexual desires to God to help us with our struggles against lust, then we are free: Free from the compulsion of lust and the compulsion to grasp and possess. In the The Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit and created original sin, they looked upon each other’s naked body, felt shame, and covered...

...3/5/15 Mr.Bannecker Ms.Jacobs Mariah Williams Gay Rights Research Essay Many people are brought up to believe that marriage is the union of man and woman in love and that's it. But to me there is much more to that I believe that marriage is a symbol of your commitment to your soul mate Beyond the boundaries of a regular relationship. So what's your definition of marriage? For many years people have argued that marriage is and always has been about uniting the two sexes and linking mother and father to child. That allowing gay couple to marry will only destroy and redefine the definition of marriage and for anyone to say different is wrong. When really the best definition of marriage is the one that most marriages people sign up for the second they say those magic words "I do".Extending the boundaries to include gay couples doesn't weaken it but in fact reinforces that definition, and for anyone to say that the Supreme Court should leave the question of marriage equality to the political process of the states is like saying states should remain free to discriminate. To impose such pain and humiliation on gay families is unconstitutional, it did not tolerate it with respect to bans on interracial marriage.So why is it different now?...

Both Candy and Sharon believe that having a deaf baby is their right of choice. However, the opposing viewpoint believes that their choice to have a deaf baby is violating the sacred duty of parenthood.

... in fact, research. If they determine it is research, the next question is to ask is if the activity involves human subjects. These are important because the answers determine if the activity is subject to IRB oversight. Federal regulations for protecting research subjects provide basic definitions of "research" and of "human subjects." This module will interpret words and phrases used in the definitions from the perspective of research in the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. Learning Objectives By the end of this module, you should be able to: * Explain the definition of research * Explain the definition of human subject * Describe the differences between private and public information and behavior Defining "Research" Research is defined by the federal regulations, as "a systematic investigation including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge." "Systematic investigation" A great deal of research in the social and behavioral sciences uses what is commonly thought of as the scientific method. However, the interpretation of the term "systematic investigation" depends largely upon discipline-specific methods. It is possible for research to be systematic without conforming in every respect to the elements of the conventional scientific method. For example, when ethnographers study communities, they may not have a priori hypotheses, but many aspects of their research may be systematic...

...regulations define both "research" and "human subject." Studies must be reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) only if both definitions apply. A study that meets the definition of research, but does not involve human subjects, does not need IRB review. Similarly, a study may involve human subjects, but not meet the definition of research and would, therefore, not require an IRB review. This module interprets words and phrases used in the definition of research and of human subject from the perspective of research in the social and behavioral sciences, education, and the humanities. Learning Objectives By the end of this module, you should be able to: Explain the definition of research. Explain the definition of human subject. Describe the differences between private and public information and behavior. Defining Research Research is defined by federal regulations at 45 CFR 46.102 (Protection of Human Subjects 2009), as "a systematic investigation including research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge." Systematic Investigation A systematic investigation is the opposite of a disorganized, random venture. In other words, researchers need to have constructed a research plan with ideas about what they want to learn and how best to do that. Both qualitative and quantitative researchers use systematic investigation in the course of their research. Both types of research are organized, albeit around...

...Towards a Definition of Socio-Economic Research for the RESPECT Project A draft working paper by Ursula Huws, RESPECT Project Director Introduction The term ‘socio-economic research’ is in widespread use in the European Commission’s work programmes and elsewhere. In the Fourth Framework Programme, for instance, there was a programme entitled ‘Targeted Socio-Economic Research’ (TSER) and in the Fifth Framework Programme there were numerous calls for proposals to carry out socio-economic research related to Information Society Technologies (in the IST Programme) and to other issues of relevance to EU policy. At national level, there are also economic and social research funding councils in most European Countries. However, nowhere in this documentation, as far as I can tell, is any definition offered of ‘socio-economic research’. For the purposes of the RESPECT project, however, it is necessary to have some sort of functional definition. This short discussion paper is designed as the first step towards the development of such a definition. As the project develops, this definition will be tested in relation to the actual practices of socio-economic researchers, whose activities, qualifications and professional affiliations will be profiled as part of the project’s work. In the meantime, a brief survey of projects described as socioeconomic research projects indicates that they cover a very broad range in relation to the backgrounds and qualifications of...

...Question 1 Question : According to the federal regulations, which of the following studies meets the definition of research with human subjects? Your answer : A researcher conducts a linguistic study of comments posted on a local public blog. Correct Answer : A developmental psychologist videotapes interactions between groups of toddlers and their care givers to determine which intervention methods most effectively manage aggression. Comment : The study of passenger lists is a study of individuals who are no longer living. A human subject is a living individual. Questioning individuals to acquire data about the number of newly diagnosed HIV cases is asking "about what" questions rather than "about whom" questions. Conducting a linguistic analysis of comments posted on a public blog involves neither interaction with individuals nor collecting private identified information and thus does not meet the definition of research with human subjects. The study proposed by the developmental psychologist does meet the definition of research with human subjects. It involves interactions with living individuals and is designed to contribute to a field of knowledge.
