A Short Note On Interactions Of The Peers

II. The intersection of sexual orientation and ability-level has enormous impact in both positive and negative way.

In order to collect data, I posted the link to my survey on my facebook account and sent the link to some students. They chose to voluntarily enter their responses. I left the survey open for about half a day and received 41 responses.

As human beings, our lives are circled around a thin line that separates conformity and individuality. There are countless times when we are confused about whether our choice was made by others, or yourself. Deep inside, we all want to be liked; we all want to be loved, we all crave the warm feelings of acceptance from others, or in other words, to conform: yes, that’s why we put our hands up for the most popular choice in the class, that’s why homosexuals and bisexuals are teased and pointed at, only because they are different from the most,

If a faculty advisor censors an article written by a gay student, they are following their traditional viewpoints against the homosexual lifestyle. Several researchers have addressed the issue of sexual preferences and consequential discriminative beliefs. According to research by Herek (1987), religion is one of the most important social agents in defining viewpoints against homosexuality, and their intolerance reflects on both the academic community and the entire society. As a moral realist, I cannot form prejudices because the main rule of moral realism states that the objective truth is not related to subjective beliefs. The perlocutionary analysis will be used in evaluating and responding to the issue because my goal is to

In the current society that we live in, there are many things that help shape our perception of sexual identity. In the discussion with the class, there was a consensus that family, media, religion were the major influencers on how we develop our sexual identities and how we view other’s sexual identity. From childhood, most of us are shaped by the view of our parents and often follow the same principles and views at them. Though many people usually divert from this thought process, it still serves as a foundation for our future views and principles, whether we agree with our parents or not. Going through our individual groups discussions, many people in my group felt that a large part of their perception about the LGBT community came from the media and how the community was portrayed in the media. We discussed that in our childhoods we were often presented with gay characters that were often very flamboyant, feminine

They would view the life of homosexuals with a clear mind that isn’t going to judge instead of fighting against what they have been taught since birth. The gender roles teach people how to act according to their sex; if someone goes against the traditional teachings than they are viewed as outcasts. Society looks at them as a mishap. This article strengthens the Kinsey scale because it shows how subjective views can affect the lives of people for the worse. For example, the subjective bias view of Wardle, a law professor at Brigham Young University has affected the lives of homosexuals in several states because he:

Schott, Holland, and Mathews (2009), reveals that students who go directly from high school to college experience multiple cycles of (re)socialization. Many hate crimes are committed against college students because this is usually when college students begin their “coming out” process. Most research is done based on the attitudes of students toward their peers with an alternative choice of sexuality. Their research was based on classification in a relatively diverse college setting. Younger students, freshman and sophomores are less likely to be open to the idea of homosexuality. Students of this age group are more likely still in the process of being (re)socialized and are still dependent on what is instilled in them by their guardians prior to going to college. This attitude is one that leads to hate crimes. Older students, juniors and seniors, have a higher tolerance for the alternative lifestyle for they have become adapted to the idea of people being different (Schott, Holland, & Mathews

The Class of 2019 page has over 9,000 members and since it requires a knights mail account it guarantees these participants are students. The Greek life groups also are all students which gave me even more results that I needed. I received 99 responses but 2 responses were from outside my target demographic so I used the tool Survey Monkey offers to delete their responses. I had ten questions that I asked. I asked their age so that I could decide if they were the right demographic for my study. I asked what video streaming websites they belonged to or used. I also asked the hours a day they spend on television and the hours they spend with friends, as well as if they watched television alone or with a friend. I asked if they watched similar television shows to their friends, as well as if they would prefer to go out with a friend or to watch Netflix. Finally I asked what device they use to watch Netflix along with how many episodes in a row they usually watch. I wanted easy quick questions so that I didn’t take up too much of my respondent’s time. I included an “Other” option because some of the questions I knew could have answers I was unaware of. The information I gathered in the survey was to see what college student’s television streaming habits were like so that I could analyze them.

My chosen topic is “How kids react to the LGBTQ+ community.”. I chose this topic because I wanted to find where the source of the abuse to gay individuals come from. Many kids find hatred towards the community because of the views of their parents on Religion. This is because, in the bible God flooded a city of gay people to banish them and it was Adam and Eve God created not Adam and another man. Previously, people hated homosexuals because they were different and others didn’t understand how they could be different to other people. However, some kids are gay and their families are religious which means that they hide who they are. This means that they hate other homosexuals who are open with their sexuality which then builds up this hatred and anger for others.

“Homophobia: the fear of and prejudice toward homosexuality, is present in every facet of life: the family, organized religion, the workplace, official polices and the mass media” (Schaefer, 379). Homophobia is the reason why families do not want to have homosexual teens. The book also states how even though homophobia has been decreasing, many people still express their homophobic feelings that the homosexual lifestyle is unacceptable (Schaefer, 379). Even in the home of adolescents their parents were raised in a generation were being gay was viewed as wrong. This ideology leaves families to discard their own children because they themselves fear the “repercussions” of having a homosexual teen.

In conclusion, sexual prejudice has become a major concern in our community and country. It not only has affected individuals physically but also mentally as well. We have made big strides in the United States in accepting lesbians, gays, and bisexuals. This will continue to be a process as we become more educated on this topic. In this paper, I compared

A homosexual couple gets in an argument on the bus loudly for all the passengers to hear. Hearing the argument, one man on the bus approaches another making the quotation, “It makes me wonder how I would react if my own son was gay? Also, what if I were born that way?” This comment of being born that way is derived from a pro-homosexual standpoint, “They are born that way; therefore it’s natural and good” (Corvino, 1997, p. 139). Research has suggested that people may be born with certain predispositions, but that is not to say whether you should or should not act upon them. There is a great deal of debate whether homosexuals choose to be that way or if they are born that way. It is hard for individuals to control their feelings and it is hard to control which activities people find appealing. What people can control is how they act upon these feelings. Overall, determining the cause of homosexual feelings still will not determine whether it is moral to act upon them or not (Corvino, 1997, p.

Moving onto the procedure, they used a hundred and eighty nine teenagers between the ages of thirteen and fifteen. The population that was being represented was all the adolescent of ages thirteen to fifteen. The sample was one hundred and eighty nine participants. This sample amount was selected to make sure it wasn’t bias. It was an experimental study and what was preformed was a participating study. The students or teenagers were randomly given one of the two Facebook accounts. One account showed other older students Facebook profiles where three out the four profiles showed pictures of drinking. That account was called the alcohol user condition. The other account showed other older students Facebook profiles where three out of the four profiles were not drinking. That account was called

Kids may have the advantage of open-mindedness, tolerance, and role models for equitable relationships when having homosexual parents. One instance shows that when children are raised by homosexual parents, they are believed to be more tolerant when reaching older stages in their life to the LGBT community. For example, a child is raised by a gay couple, which later the child when older will be more accepting of those around them and open minded to homosexual couples since they were raised by a homosexual couple. Following this, children will be taught not to judge people off of their lifestyle, but to judge off of their personality. Therefore, children who are raised by homosexual parents generally have better social skills, and peer relationships which result in a stronger buffer against stigma or discrimination.

In addition, how the parents communicate with teenagers about social media is also important to the research. The sample group is focus on parents whom have 13-19 years old children can participate in the survey. The sample size need 50 participants which include 15 questions about what they think about the influence of social media and how they build effective communication with teenagers. I obtain the samples from different secondary school entrance since I know some parents will pick up their children outside the school. The survey only has one long question and the other 14 questions are multiple choices as I consider adults don’t have much time to participate because of working. $20 Coles vouchers will provide to 50 parents participants after they finished the survey.
