The implicated ...

Hence, applying sociological concepts to study behavior and way of life in a particular country will help an individual know what to expect and anticipate changes or adjustments that he or she ...

The philosophies of Dr. Hofstede's dimensions are distance versus power, collectivism versus individualism, avoiding uncertainty, femininity versus masculinity and short term orientation versus long-term orientation (Sergiu, 2011). Over the years after he came up with these dimensions, there has been a variety of arguments.

Mental Illness Treatment – History of Community Orientation

In the early days of mental illness treatment in the United States, those suffering from severe and chronic problems such as schizophrenia, retardation, depression and insanity were often relegated to the asylum (Trickett, et al., 2011). Prior to World War II, most patients were committed to governmental institutions only if families could afford their care. Those patients considered by law enforcement to be the most dangerous to themselves and others were usually committed to state institutions or jailed. If a mentally ill patient did not fall into these categories, they were often institutionalized for short periods ...

- Introduction
It was Sigmund Freud who first suggested that human psychosexual development is heavily influenced by one’s relationship with one’s father or mother (Katz-Wise 2). However, in reality, the development of sexuality is quite different and significantly more complex. Gender identity has become different from sexual identity, and one’s sexual orientation is different still (Katz-Wise 2). Before detailing the prevailing arguments regarding sexual identity and all the issues that go along with it, it is first important to understand the nature of the discussion.
Sexual identity, for the purposes of discussion here, will be taken ...

Introduction

Throughout Christian history, Christianity considered homosexuality as a sin, and its cause (as in general any reason sin) was due to damage to human nature and its propensity to sin after the Fall.

The debate on sexual orientation has been going on for a long time in the world.

There are those who take a position in between the two and belief that gender and sexual orientation are as a result of the interplay between the environment and the genetic and hormonal state of the individuals.

According to the Kluckhohns and Strodtbeck’s value orientations (Samovar et al., 2008), people of all cultures deal with five universal questions. In particular, these five questions aim to determine the character of human nature; the relation of human kind to nature; the orientation over time; the value placed on activity; and the relationship of people to each other (Samovar et al., 2008).

Gender Fluidity is Sound

Gender Fluidity is Sound

Perhaps gender fluidity provides a mirror image of repeated violation on societal definitions on gender traits. As Linda Stein argued in her art exhibitions, the society is in a state of constant change concerning the ways of defining gender (Penn-Goetsch, 2010). For many years, human roles and behaviors have been defined based on gender lines, and this has been a great influence in determining human interactions and perceptions of being male or female. Gender fluidity makes it possible for individuals to convey flexible and wide ranges of behaviors and interests that may change from time ...

Elements of the Self-Determination Theory

The Self-Determination Theory proposes that autonomous motivation is distinct from controlled motivation (Gagne and Deci, 2005) where autonomy “involves acting with a sense of volition and having the experience of choice” (Gagne and Deci, 2006, p. 333) while controlled motivation involves external regulation. It proposes that uninteresting activities require extrinsic motivation; thus, making the activity externally regulated.

External regulation is the use of external factors to initiate and maintain a behavior. However, the Self-Determination Theory names another type of extrinsic motivation where the regulation of a behavior and the value that is associated with it becomes internalized. Internalization is ...

Sexuality is a vast topic which covers many different subtopics. Generally, society is becoming more accepting of conversations in most realms of sexuality.

The development of quality systems in the field of software engineering has been a core driving goal in the previous two decades of system development. Other core qualities that a system must have include maintainability and reusability.

            Though LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) prisoners face challenges which other prisoners face, sexual orientation, prejudice and gender identity makes the challenges to be more difficult for them. Other human rights violations faced by LGBT persons include: physical and mental integrity rights, freedom of association and that of expression, laws that are discriminating and application of laws in a discriminatory manner (Forsyth et al, 2002). Though most of the unique challenges that LGBT prisoners face have not received extensive litigation, those that have already been litigated might receive a significant change, if the Supreme Court makes a decision that is relatively still. It becomes hard to make a prediction of the claims outcomes. The combination of the unpredictability, transphobia and homophobia may interfere with the decisions that juries and judges make, meaning that, when LGBT prisoners bring their claims in court, they face so many challenges (Kupers, 2010).

Bullying and discrimination are a pervasive and highly damaging situation within school systems throughout the country (NYSUT, 2013). In recent years, this trend has expanded to include issues of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) related bullying and abuse, and the increasing dangers of cyberbullying (i.e. the use of the Internet to abuse classmates), making it paramount to pass legislation that is effective in controlling these trends.

The ones that possess power and status in the society have been the writers of these rules. With the passage of time, the thought process behind the ...

- Can such violence also be attributed to individual violence, based upon the perceived notions of a "lax society?"
As against individual violence, violent homophobic crimes are a manifestation of an irrational and visceral feeling towards homosexuality. The extreme vilification and discrimination against people with same-sex sexual orientation is often justified by invoking the notion of lax society, where ‘lax’ implies something that is ‘lacking in strictness’, ‘derelict’ or ‘not easily controlled’. This notion is rooted in the ‘right realism’ school of thought that regards all criminal incidents as social problems warranting prompt and practical solutions. (Right Realism and ...

Introduction

Foster care is a relatively understudied topic among a wide spectrum of social issues in the United States. In plain terms, it competes for funding and the attention of the public consciousness with social security, Medicaid, medicare, food stamps, the United States Veterans Initiative, and many other programs. There is also the fact that absolute numbers of children in foster care have dropped in recent years (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2013, p.2).
