Trigonometry And Regression Analysis

1. For your first relationship, identify the independent and dependent variables and describe the attributes of each. Remember to select social science variables.

11. For each of the following, indicate whether you would use a pie, line, or bar chart, and why.

I would use a bar graph because it would be easy to follow and understand the information presented.

‘Strand distinguishes between support for civil rights and support for civil liberties, arguing that heterosexuals are more supportive of civil liberties for gay men and lesbians, which are concerned with protecting individuals from undue government interference in their private behaviour, than they are

“Being gay is much more profound than simply a sexual relationship; being gay is part of that person’s core identity, and goes right to the very center of his being. It’s like being black in s society of whites, or a blonde European in a nation of black Asians” (Tamara L. Roleff). Although marriage, cohabitation and parenting styles of homosexual families pose no threats to the heterosexual society; many still believe same-sex marriage goes against its true purpose. “At the national level, American public opinion on the issue remains split (44 percent support legalizing same-sex marriage; 53 percent oppose same-sex marriage in a May 2010 Gallup Poll) even as opposition toward legalizing same-sex marriage is at its lowest point in decades

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:

Several factors play an important role in the hypothesis that Christians would disagree with same-sex marriage. Regarding the poll, respondents were asked to pick the choice that best represented their stance on the legality of same-sex marriage. Respondents could choose from the following answers: “strongly disagree”, “somewhat disagree”, “indifferent”, “somewhat agree”, “strongly agree”, and “undecided”. The group the hypothesis pertains to are the people who said “strongly disagree” or “disagree”. The first piece of evidence that would lead one to believe that Christians would show, to a certain degree, disagreement with legalizing same-sex marriage involves important passages in their holy book, the Bible. The Bible contains passages that both deem homosexuality as sinful, as well as affirm only marriage between man and woman. One passage that does an adequate job of displaying a view that homosexuality is sinful is located in Leviticus, which reads, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is

It showed that ninety-five percent of Disaffected Democrats believe that business corporations make too much profit while only fifty nine percent of the general public believe that. Eighty-two percent of Disaffected Democrats believe that there are still significant obstacles that make it harder for women to get ahead than men and only fifty-five percent of society believe that. I also answered that Homosexuality should be accepted by society and the study showed that seventy-nine percent of Disaffected Democrats believe this was and seventy percent of society. I think this is a great number from where we probably would’ve been only five years ago. Society is accepting change for Homosexuality, but you will always have that small percentage who will never accept that. It is okay for the people who don’t accept it, because in society you have your own beliefs and customs and it is hard to accept

Public opinion polls leave no doubt that a significant majority of Americans support laws protecting L.G.B.T. people from discrimination and approve of same-sex marriage. But that doesn’t mean that they prioritize the issue and punish politicians with contrary views. The results of many elections suggest that they don’t.

In reality, no more than 40 responders (only 1.3% of the sample population) had lived in a household with same-sex parents for more than three years (Regnerus 757). The study failed entirely to specify how many of even this tiny percentage of responders, if any, had lived in a household from birth until adulthood, as the children of heterosexual parents were.  The flaws in Regnerus’ procedures prove fatal to his conclusions. Regnerus’ experiment lacked generalizability because few, if any, responders had actually lived with same-sex parents for a long enough period of time to accurately describe them as having been raised in same-sex households. Even assuming that all 40 respondents who had spent more than three years with same-sex parents could accurately be described as having been raised in a homosexual household, the numbers are far too small to be representative of the larger group. Ironically, the lack of a representative sample size was the crux of Regnerus’ issue with similar

Subtract the opinion polls and the ‘gays function well in the workplace’ add the normalisation of sexual deviancy by the Kinsey report.

Lewis and Gossett’s central idea lies on the opinion of the individual with respect to the changes that may occur in an environment. In order to determine the relevance of partisanship in regards to attitude changes in gay marriage, the authors discussed a survey that shows the impact of ideology and perception of gays. Their findings suggest “net change is also 18 points larger for Democrats than Republicans, and 16 points higher for liberals than conservatives”. The results show a positive correlation between asymmetric polarization towards liberal values and a positive attitude towards same-sex marriage. Consequently, the study supported the idea that polarization regarding partisanship leaning away from social conservatism catalyzed positive attitude changes towards gay marriage.

This text studies the wage inequalities that homosexual men experience in comparison to heterosexual men. Although the gap between these sexual orientations is relatively small in comparison to other gaps such as race or gender, the results are statistically significant and show a disadvantage for homosexuals. Since the study centers on exclusively homosexual men instead of men who are bisexual or any other sexual orientation, the authors conclude that this wage gap is caused by being unmarried rather than being gay. Same-sex marriage is now legal

Q7: Create a bar graph or pie chart of the data you have collected. For example, you could create a bar graph that shows the employee turnover rate in organizations that do offer flexible work arrangement compared to organizations that do not. Alternately, you could create a pie chart that shows which types of flexible work arrangement workers want the most.

Heterosexuals with orthodox religious beliefs perceive the growing acceptance of gay men and lesbians as the decline of American morals (e.g., importance of heterosexuality; Herek, 1988). Younger people perceive older people as more dishonest than younger people, and older people perceive younger people as more dishonest than older people as well (Schniter & Shields, 2014).
