Persuasive Essay On Same Sex Books

“The Feminine Mystique was the spark that ignited second wave feminist”. Yet without this book, we would not have been where we are today with feminism.In fact, if it was not for this book women would still be a home mom, this was the second-wave feminist in the united states. “ProCon.org” claims that “Even books or materials that many find ‘objectionable’ may have the educational value”. In this case most books do have a lesson to be learned and mistakes to be fixed and the reader also learns new things that they will need in life in the future to be prepared, they need to be prepared for racism, sex, adultery, bullying, sacrifice and strength like How To Kill A Mockingbird. Strangely something from other banned books will happen to someone in life. These books have taught us a lesson even though they have been banned and we have learned more too.

The LGBT community in the United States has always had massive difficulty fitting into our society. For many years they put up with constant mistreatment and other forms of abuse coming from the those who do not agree with their lifestyle. They have for long advocated for the acceptance of their existence and punishment for crimes committed against them. One of the hardest battles the community has had to face was the right to marry in a society that still holds the values of a traditional relationship which is between a male and female. The struggle was quite harsh but it all paid off by 2015 when the supreme court granted gay couples the right to marry. This historical decision did not go without outcry and criticisms. Most of the dissatisfaction came from those who hold very religious values and beliefs that claims homosexuality is a sin. Religion has always been a part of the American way of life since the nation's founding and with that homosexuality has been demonized throughout our society. Now that gay couple possess the legal rights to have a marriage license, religious companies and/or stores are now denying service to LGBT couples as they believe it sinful on their behalf to even take part. Many people gay or straight who fought for gay rights believe these is pure discrimination and that stores should not have the right to deny service for any customer for any reason. However, this belief is unconstitutional and goes

Next month will be very exciting for the LGBTQ community, when several of the openly LGBTQ communities, athletes will head to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics to compete, which will be the most LGBTQ’s to participate in the Winter Olympics than ever before. Nonetheless, there were also seven openly LGBTQ athletes who competed in the Sochi games in 2014, which were all female athletes in the LGBTQ community

Censoring books is perceived as a way of parents protecting their children from scandalous subjects, however, by banning books they deprive them essential lessons they can use in society. An example that Lee Burress offers in Battle of the Books, is how a book can give a modern perspective on a subject, children are unfamiliar with, but may encounter. “Foster Child by Marion Bauer is a banned book that gives a modern perspective of how modern foster children are treated” (Burress). It touches the subject of sexual abuse and although parents try to protect their children from these subjects: it is better for children to know what sexual abuse is rather than remaining ignorant. In this case ignorance is not bliss and it can lead to children being unable to identity when they are being molested. It can also teach children empathy and lead them

The purpose of this essay is to prove that people who read books are better than people who play sports. The main reasons are:

“I wrote this book as a blueprint for healing. I wrote this book to end the silence . . . It’s for people who have been through terrible things and need hope and support...” (My Record Journal) Likewise, some out-of-context pages can deemed inappropriate when not explained fully. Pages 217 and 218 describe sexual abuse and aforementioned molestation which is one of the many deep secrets revealed in the novel. As earlier in the novel, the protagonist witnesses rape which was not intended for sex but for violence. Albeit, mentionings of drugs and alcohol, that can not be regarded as harmful for young readers because of lack of great detail and vaguefulness experience. These topics should not entitle the novel as bad and it should be read for the symbolism and meaningful

Young adults in school settings need to be exposed to difficult and bold ideas. Unfortunately, misfortune, evil, and tragedy all exist in the everyday lives of people all over the world. While parents have good intentions to protect their children from the harsh realities of life, kids who are never exposed to the very real problems people face everyday will have a difficult time handling these problems when they are exposed to them in real life Books should not be banned for attempting to depict realistic problems that people face at some point in life. As humans, everyone learns how to deal with their struggles ¨by facing adversity and getting past it¨. It is important for kids to learn about these kinds of adversities in order to be prepared to face their own one day. (Cytowic 1). Sheltering children from all of the world’s problems can end up harming them more than helping the child. If people have no idea how to handle conflict or disaster, they will not be prepared to face those struggles someday. The realistic and often harsh realities of life

An important aspect is the entry of the marriage between people of the same sex. This phenomenon began in the Netherlands in 2001 and spread throughout much of northern Europe, generating great controversy and debate not only locally but globally. The controversy surrounding homosexual marriage has been a constant in the panorama of what is considered unfair or discriminatory. In this sense, we have found public opinion divided between extreme defenders of gay equality and staunch opponents of this position. however, equal marriage must be legal in order to promote equality, family stability and freedom of religion.

This issue continues to arise and spark debate year after year and decade after decade however the facts remain that this issue should simple be answered with a yes due to the fact that all humans deserve a right to freedom and as such that right to freedom will technically dictate that they will be given the right to decide any decision they may come across, however on the technical side of debate the four main theories of morality& religion, ethical naturalism, moral relativism and nihilism all present a different side and different approach to the issue.

Controversies, like equal rights for LGBTQ, are being debated and resolved as the world advances. Same sex marriage is an important topic in America and continues to mold the United States. Now that the LGBTQ have the same civil rights as a straight man or woman, different groups have already begun to express their opinions and ideas concerning same sex marriage. Also, people of different ages and races in general are feeding off the views of others to determine for themselves if same sex couples should have the right to marry.

Love is universal for everyone no matter what race, sexual orientation, or religion. However, one cultural difference that is effected by society is gay marriage. Gay marriage should be viewed as equal to straight marriage and all over the world be viewed as socially equal. Three things that prevent gay marriage from being viewed equal are religion, political issues, and stereotyping in regards to sexual orientation. I have been raised in a gender equal house all my life and this has influenced me to be the women I am today and allow me to view people as equal no matter what race, gender, and sexual orientation. These three reasons are why the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) are not accepted into society, but they should be

Today, we live in a society that sometimes pushes the envelope, in regards to topics that may seem controversial, and evoke uncomfortable emotions in our school classrooms, and also the parents of the children reading these books. It is important to establish the profound impact children’s literature has not only children, but also these books we once read and have shaped our emotions and feelings as we matured into adults. One book can change a reader’s life forever. It may be the timing of the book, or hardships we are enduring while we are reading the book. These emotions can feel positive or negative, and ultimately change the way we see the world. According to Kiefer and Tyson (2013), “So much of what we teach in school is concerned with facts. Literature is concerned with feelings and the quality of life. It can educate the heart as well as well as the mind” (p. 7). Children’s literature provides an avenue to allow our children to escape and feel emotions they may not have experienced, but will someday.

Americans’ support on gay marriage remains on a high 61%. I, as a Republican, 100% support everything for gay marriage. Everyone should be treated the same as everyone else, either if you're gay or not. I think that we should make everyone's life easier and better by leaving the argument over same-sex marriage alone. Republicans say that this is one of the most considered issues in the upcoming elections. Republicans also say, “We condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling in United States v. Windsor, which wrongly removed the ability of Congress to define marriage policy in federal law”. Having the right to stand up to the government is a big thing for religious people. Everyone should have the right to marry whoever they would like. Democrats believe that gay marriage should be left to the state as an issue, that religious entities should be allowed to make decisions about marriage as a religious sacrament on their own. Same-sex marriage has really increased in America. The voters put a good deal of weight on this issue, making it a topic that could make and also break elections in the upcoming years.

In today’s society, there are certain stereotypical people that are uninterested in gay or lesbian marriage. Everyone should have the right to decide on who they would like to marry. Gay marriage should be legal and a non-punishable offense because it can prevent teenage suicides, more children will be adopted, and people will not feel like second-class citizens.

“Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea. Understand that your morality is not law. Understand that we are you. Understand that if we decide to have sex whether safe, safer, or unsafe, it is our decision and you have no rights in our lovemaking,” said Derek Jarman, a well known english film director and author in the late 1900s. This statement is showing how sexuality can not and should not be mandated by laws. Many people arguing this topic do not know all the facts on whether it is genetics or the environment. Homosexuality has always been a very controversial topic throughout history. This issue has broken up many families and have caused many conflicts. Especially the older generations, who are very quick to judge on one's sexual orientation. Those who quickly judge others usually are the ones who are not informed that being homosexual is not a choice. Homosexuality, which has been proven to be caused by genetics through studies done through the field of human biology, many traits in genes have been found and many gays have been born into anti-gay cultures.
