Carole Vance’s article, “Social Construction Theory: Problems in the History of Sexuality,” explains how the social construction theory can be used to help understand LBGTQ+ identities. As discussed previously, essentialism assumes that all things, at the essence, are the same or share a similar experience. However, this does not take culture into consideration, and just how far humans are constructed socially. Vance explains that the LBGTQ+ community would benefit from identifying as a socially constructed group, because assuming that sexuality is finite or natural is an essentialist argument that completely undermines people who are sexually fluid and rejects ...

Question 1

Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) is an energy intensive civil engineering material. According to the Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment studies done on the production of the Hot-Mix Asphalt shows that the process of mixing asphalt and drying of aggregates consumes more energy than the energy required in the extraction of crude oil and bitumen distillation. This aspect is unsustainable since the energy is primarily obtained from fossil fuels (70 to 80% of natural gas is used to produce Asphalt) which are non-renewable energy sources. One way of mediating this shortcoming is to obtain the energy from renewable sources such as solar, ...
