Medical Case Study Miguel

During the late 19th century, the ideals of middle-class, respectable sexuality were in a state of flux. Published findings by renowned psychiatrists such as Richard von Krafft-Ebbing and Sigmund Freud helped to recreate and build upon sexual knowledge, establishing never before heard of terms for a variety of sexual behaviors. Often, therein lies an implicit bias when codifying topics of study. Therefore, due to the major shifts during the late 19th and early 20th century in how sexuality is classified scientifically and medically, psychiatry plays a primary role in creating concepts such as “normal” and “abnormal” sexuality.

This assignment will help you explore the way a topic in human sexuality is covered in two very different sources: 1) a scholarly journal; and 2) a popular media source.For more information to help you understand the difference between those sources, please use this link to the APU library http://apus.libanswers.com/a.php?qid=5312. You will summarize a scholarly article (peer-reviewed, evidence-based, original research) and one popular media article on your topic. Once you see how the topic is covered in each source, you will write a paper:

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

Cabarrus Memorial Hospital (CMH), in the small town of Concord, North Carolina, came to be the vision of Mr. Charles A. Cannon, a mill business owner and the largest employer in the area. Mr. Cannon employed thousands of employees and believed his employee should receive the best medical care. This mission and vision of Mr. Cannon translated into his opening of CMH. For his vision to give his employees the best medical care, he was able to draw in the educational and visionary support of Duke University Medical Center. CMH grew from a 50 inpatient bed facility in 1937 to a 457 bed hospital by 1982. The current case study, by F. Campbell and D. Caldwell, evaluates and analyzes the need and addition of an open heart surgery service at CMH.

In an era where human sexuality has been taboo for many centuries Alfred Kinsey pioneer sexuality research late 1940s and early 1950s, in the highly unsupportive social and political environment of the time. His approach and methodologies provided the foundation for most of the survey research about sexuality and are still cited today as a source of statistical information about sexual behavior (Hock, 2012). However, Kinsey’s research had information gap about how the human body functions anatomically when we engage in sexual behavior.

The movement from “a symbolic of blood to an analytics of sexuality” (148)—from a power concentrated in death to one concentrated in life—resulted in an increased concern with naming and documenting individual presentations of sexuality, in part because sex provided, and continues to provide, a way to access both the life of an individual and the life of a population.

Throughout history it is evident that human sexuality changes do to religious, governmental and societal influences. The perception of human sexuality has gone through many changes such as being very open and unlabeled activity; to being very “conservative” and a topic that shouldn’t be talked about in public or at all. In any case, human sexuality has always been a topic of interest because humans are sexual beings who want to understand the consciousness of themselves as male or female and see their personal response when encountered in erotic experiences with other individuals. Unlike many other species whose sexual force is strictly for reproduction, human’s sexual drive seems to be driven by many factors that intertwine with each other which leads to very different outcomes. Do to these obscure human emotions and personal gratification, sex is always shown every culture’s art, literature, social norms, and laws.

Upon entering this course, my understanding of human sexuality was decent; I was aware of certain aspects of sexuality such as being straight, gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, etc. Nevertheless, I did not realize how expansive sexuality is; it never occurred to me that sexual health, prostitution, marriage, rape, sex trafficking, divorce, families, etc., all fell under the umbrella of human sexuality. Books and essays such as Renee Hill’s Walk Together and David Shneer’s “Out of School” showcased the multiple facets of human sexuality and how terms like queer are not directly related to homosexuality. While sexuality and homosexuality are linked, frequently, people mistake them as being synonymous; before entering this class, I was searching for a definition of sexuality, and often in the thesaurus section of dictionary websites homosexuality and or sexual orientation was considered a synonym of sexuality. Formerly, I too would have agreed they were the same, however, after taking this course, I concluded that homosexuality is just one topic in the broad discussion of sexuality. My understanding of sexuality now is that it

La sexualidad es un punto clave de la vida que incorpora nociones, creencias, hechos, comportamientos, fantasías, rituales, actitudes, valores y derechos con respecto a la identidad y rol de género, actos sexuales, orientación y aspectos de placer, intimidad y reproducción.
