Can Sexuality be Standardized?

September 2, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Health Care and Life Sciences

Research on sexuality is particularly muddy because researchers cannot agree on definitions for describing hetro and homosexuality. This means every time you pick up an article on sexuality you will need to first determine what the researcher’s definition is before you can appreciate what conclusions are offered.

Many scientific disciplines offer strict definitions for describing, characterizing, and defining things: For example in anatomy an organ is defined as a group of tissues working together; In psychology the Diagnostic Statistical Manual provides a detailed description for every documented mental illness.

Take a stance:

Should the definitions for heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and bi-homosexual be standardized in the field of sexuality research? Can the definitions be standardized? What would your version look like?

Should definitions be variable depending on the nature of the research; keep in mind this may mean excluding subjects (that do not fit a given definition), or altering definitions to suit a particular study? Give examples and provide any insight that you can. Why can’t sexuality be standardized to black and white terms?

Assignment:

The goal of the short response pieces is to give you the chance to engage more deeply with an idea from the reading, either in a positive way by applying that idea to a practical context or in a negative way by challenging that idea. Thus, these will be graded purely on your engagement with the material.

In general, a short response piece should:

Take an idea from one of the readings assigned that day and explain how it expands or challenges a traditional approach to a policy problem. How would this idea change your practice as a policy leader? How would implementing this idea change your analysis of a public problem?
Challenge an idea from the reading with an alternative principle or a counterexample. What is the author missing, and why would that idea change the application of the idea to practical policy problems?

FIRST, do some freewriting; reflecting on your chosen text, write without stopping to correct or read your writing. Write down any ideas that come into your head about the text. Dont worry if they are dumb or smartall ideas in a freewrite are good ideas. You can mine the sentences for gold later! As you write, consider these ideas to get you going:

How does the text make you feel?
Do you agree with it? Why or why not?
Does it successfully convey its message? Why or why not?
What does the text want you to do after reading it?
Does it make you want to do that? Why or why not?
What details are most powerful?
Which details are least convincing / powerful?

NEXT, create an outline for your paper using the chart below and the work youre doing in your thesis workshop this week. Remember that a good thesis offers an outline of the major points youll make in your paper. The outline you do here will expand further on those major points and put them in a logical order. Remember also that an analysis is more than a summary; your topic/discussion points should not simply sum up various elements of the text; they should break down those elements to examine how they work on readers/viewers. These sections should be written in full, clear sentences.

Watch Elizabeth Loftus: The Fiction of Memory. It is a TED talk. Watch the entire video. I suggest taking notes as you watch because there is a LOT of stuff in there you can react to NOT just the opening story. If you only talk about the opening story in the video, you will only receive half credit at most.

Length: At least 1 full page

These papers are to be REACTION papers not book reports. I have watched this video; I want to know your thoughts and reactions to it. You must refer to parts of what you read so I know what you are reacting to, but it is to be a majority of your thoughts and words not simply reporting what you read — I think, I agree, I disagree, etc.
