In 1993, five men engaged into activities, which to them only brought gratification and satisfaction. However, it was evident when the “Law Lords upheld the original convictions of the men under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act for engaging in sadomasochism” , that the law saw it differently. All “five men were fully consenting adults, who willingly and privately participated.” Still, the Law Lords held that “it is not in the public interest that people should try to cause, or should cause, each other actual bodily harm for no good reason.” This decision, has become a very controversial one, with many questioning its merits. This essay will therefore try to negate whether consent should have been a sufficient defence, if this decision
Consensual sex in is a complicated and serious issue that affects college campuses throughout the United States. On September 18th, 2014, the Governor of California, Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill No. 967 and with it, established a new standard and definition of consent. California is the first state to pass an affirmative consent law for its universities (Grinberg 2014). The law mandates that public universities, community college districts and private colleges that receive state resources for student financial aid to incorporate affirmative-consent language into their sexual-assault policies. Furthermore, the law stipulates that all students attending the colleges and universities must seek “affirmative consent” before engaging in sexual activity. The law reads that consent must be “ongoing through a sexual activity” and “lack of protest or silence” does not mean that consent is given (SB-967 “Student safety: sexual assault”, 2014)

There is increasing indication suggesting that social relationships and social support are protective of ill health. Thoits (2010) points that negative impacts of stressors on health and wellbeing are reduced when people have social support. Stansfield (1999) distinguishes the importance between social network and functional aspects of support; this included the number of frequency of contacts. The quality of support would include positive emotional and practical support and also any negative, undermining aspects of close relationships. Mittelmark (1999) suggests benefits of strengthening social ties can create better functioning individuals and improved physical and mental health.

Social resources can help one relieve the emotional impact of stressful situations. In a study done by Cohen, Doyle, Turner, Alper, and Skoner (2003), it was found that higher levels of sociability correlated to lower levels of illness. Furthermore, it was found that having a “positive emotional style was associated with a lower risk of developing a cold” (Cohen, Doyle, et al. 2003; 393). Supporting what I mentioned above, having social ties means that ones has a larger network to draw support from – whether they are percieved are actual.

Whirlwind I, the precursor to modern-day computers, was completed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Servomechanisms Laboratory in 1951 (Tom Rosko). MIT was found on April 10, 1861 by William Barton Rogers, two days before the beginning of Civil War. The first building of MIT was built in 1866 at Boston’s Back Bay,and by the end of the century, the buildings scattered throughout Copley Square. In 1916, all of the MIT moved to Cambridge, except for The School of Architecture which remained in Boston, during a three-day alumni reunion (MIT Libraries). MIT endeavor to “advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century” (MIT About).
The impact of loneliness on physical health can also be better understood by the study conducted by Uchino and colleagues (1996). They found that social individuals have lower blood pressure, better immunity and lower levels of stress hormones than the socially isolated people. In contrast another study described by Arthur 2006 demonstrated that it is not yet clear that group therapy or socialization can improve the secondary prevention of Coronary heart Disease. After considering all the studies and arguments by different authors it can be conclude that it is necessary to do more research on the impact of socialization on physical health of individuals.
