Favorite Class Session Analysis

The ethical issue that I chose was homosexuality and the three religions are Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity. I chose to write about homosexuality due to the fact that it is one of the most common problems out there in the world. Homosexuality started back in the late nineteenth century in Europe. Also there is four different types of homosexual relationship in all major culture areas (Greenberg1988:25-26). The four types are transgenerational homosexuality, transgenderal homosexuality, egalitarian homosexual relations, and class distinguished homosexuality. According to Williams Institute and public policy think tank there is an estimate that the total number of gay, lesbian, and bisexual in the United States is near 8.8 billion based on an American Community Survey done back in two thousand five and six.

When I first read the prompt attached to essay 2, one topic in specific came to mind. My main choice for a topic at the moment is LGBT+ rights. I do understand that I would have to keep myself from directly stating that the community should indeed have their rights since this is an argumentative paper, not a personal opinion essay. Instead, I would be attempting to build a strong case as to why it is our country’s duty to allow all individuals in America to practice the rights that they deserve. If I am unable to write about this topic, I am also interested in discussing the need for better funding in school’s artistic electives such as band and art. Girl’s dress codes in public schools, women rights, and immigrant rights are also in my list of potential topics. However, I do mainly want to write about LGBT+ rights, and I thoroughly hope that I am able to work around the guidelines of the paper and make this topic work for me.

Question: “Assess the claims that Stonewall was the first and most influential moment of the early twentieth century queer rights movement. “

It is widely known that LGBTQ+ rights is a greatly controversial topic, and any individual could easily form an argument about why the LGBTQ+ community should or should not receive their rights. However, simply stating that homosexuality is moral or immoral does not form an intellectual research discussion. If one is to write a successful academic piece over their position on the matter, one must carefully backup their side of the argument with valid documentation and scholarly

The articles that stood out the most to me were Cheryl Clarke’s “Living As a Lesbian” and June Jordan’s “A New Politics of Sexuality”. These articles stood out, because while given a similar topic (lesbians) they both possessed very different, yet similar arguments. I found this interesting because it is a prime example of societies different views on controversial topics. Cheryl and June’s articles contain many differences, similarities and information to be reflected on.

The social issue I am exploring is abortion. The two questions I am researching are: “Please tell me whether or not you think it should be possible for a pregnant woman to obtain legal abortion if there is a strong chance of a serious defect in the baby” and “Please tell me whether or not you think it should be possible for a pregnant woman to obtain legal abortion if the woman wants to for any reason.” This social issue is important because it can be viewed from a legal, moral, religious, and social standpoint. It also has only become a large part of our society, and therefore a largely debated issue, in the last half century. It also is sociologically important because it is a debate over the ideal our country was formed on: freedom.

For this paper, we were to choose our own topic. The subject of our essay had to be arguable, and we could not take an ethical position. I chose to write about LGBT+ rights, and, since this is a highly controversial topic, I had some trouble when it came to writing about the opposition’s beliefs. However, I fixed these issues for my final copy. On this essay, I met the same four objectives as in paper one. On a portion of “LGBT+ Community: Why Does the Community Deserve Their Rights?” I stated:

There was a tremendous improvement from my first group leader discussion and my second one. I can evidently contribute some of this success to my topic, gender and sexuality, as most people felt it was a much more digestible topic than 21st-century capitalism. I have also discovered from another classmates discussion people actually enjoy sharing their opinions on deeply controversial current events, such as the transgender bathroom issue and third-wave feminism. Whereas I first avoided anything excessively controversial since I did not come to class to see people get offended and emotional. It was often during the controversial discussions, people had great critical discussions of gender and sexuality today. In my second attempt at this assignment,

Frank created quite a hook in the introduction of the article, but it was a little misleading. When I first begun to read, I had thought I would be gaining insight on the situational aspects of dealing with student misbehavior, rather, I dove into a word play that could practically be considered common knowledge. Regardless, I can only state such a notion in regards to no one else, but myself. I assume that it may amount to the fact that I have frequently engaged in material oriented around educational ethics in teaching. However, the article did bring forth information that solidified my beliefs in teaching ethics, while using extreme detail in addressing particular student misbehavior issues. It is this very detail that assisted in my ability to form connections to my previous experiences in a classroom, subsequently deeming itself useful in furthering my knowledge about the topic.

2. How would you judge your “attendance” in this class? (how often did you log into Blackboard and/or check your email)?

The third topic is homophobic think the things that matter is sexual orientation because I feel like this country is very against people’s sexual orientation. I can say that I am not a homophobic because I think if you love someone whether it is the same sex as you or the opposite sex from you should be able to love them without being discriminated. Many people in the world may be against gays, lesbians, and transgender because they are uncomfortable and are not educated enough. I know for a fact that I unaware of the transgender community, I am not against them in any way I just do not understand it nor I am educated enough on it. So when people ask me about transgender I found it strange because I never experience it or seen a transgender

The topic I choose to discuss is the morality of abortions. Merriam-Webster defines abortion as the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. Abortion has been a very controversial matter and the ongoing controversy surrounding the moral and legal status of induced abortion. Some individuals are pro life and completely against it; they feel that abortion is immoral is because it is the intentional killing of a human being. However, others are pro-choice and believe that a woman should have the right to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy. This dispute has become a huge political and a legal matter. There are anti-abortion activist that seeks to develop and pass anti-abortion laws. As well, there are abortion rights supporters are seeking the put an end to laws that stop women from having the right to abortions and making it more accessible to receive abortion care. Abortion laws differ significantly between many jurisdictions.

This had to be by far the most unique and distinct experience paper yet. The options were so relevant to the class and for the first time, in a long time, this was an exciting experience for me. All due to one topic: S-E-X. With that being said my topic of choice was a movie review. This was a bit common and challenging for me at the same time. Challenging because I didn’t know which category I haven't watched when it comes to porn and common for me because I watch porn very often. #NOJUDGEMENTZONE Why I chose this topic was pretty simple, there are a few subdivisions in the porn industry that I have yet to experience. I'm pretty sure, majority of society watches the usual: man on woman; woman on woman and man on man. Now how many of these people can say they have also watch intersex people having intercourse. Now to the average person, intersex persons are usually called trannys/transexuals/shemales in the adult film industry.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. These are all names that are given to those in society who view themselves differently from the world because of their sexuality. The LGBT community has grown tremendously throughout the years. Worldwide, millions of people have joined or are joining this community to depict their pride in who they are, as they walk the brave streets of New York and Los Angeles in their new beginning. This life interested me. Their transition, their journey, their process, everything. I wanted to become an observer and and get some insight into their lives, perhaps even make some comparisons to my own. I wanted to observe their nature in public places and how people react to them. I wanted to view the role they play in society for the other LGBTs in the world and even the heterosexuals. To get an overall idea into this lifestyle I interviewed several people who are really involved in the LGBT community, people who went through tough pasts, judgment, depression, anxiety and more all because they wanted to express who they really are. These three people have stories that are serious and inspirational, stories that are perfect for me to express through my paper and to give the world a message about the lives of the LGBT community.

One common theme throughout the course of this particular dialogue is the overall acceptance and tolerance towards gay rights. For example, you proposed the scenario in which a woman did not want to offer her services to gay couples, and everyone in the class agreed that she should indeed be forced to offer her services. Christina even stated why do people care what other people do in their life? While listening to everyone’s opinions on gay rights, I got the impression that we are somewhat intolerant towards individuals who did not agree with gay rights. I witness this same intolerance in my everyday life. It has become taboo within our generation/peers in the United States to openly disagree with gay rights or gay marriage. If an individual does not agree or support gay rights, they are often face backlash and are scorned at. For example, when American Idol runner-up La’Porsha Renae stated during a press conference that she does not agree with the homosexual lifestyle, she faced immense backlash. She stated, “I am one of the people who don’t really agree with that lifestyle. I wasn’t brought up that way….But I do have a lot of friends and a lot of people that I love dearly who are gay and homosexual and they’re such sweet, nice people. We should just respect each other’s differences and opinions and move on.” Although her comment was respectful and simply expressed her opinion and views on the gay marriage, many people were displeased with her statement. She was forced
