LEARNING OBJECTIVES ch7
1. Examine the various ways in which a person is sexually socialized, specifically through religion, law, and the media. Sexualizing young people to promote products ex: tiktokers
2. Analyze the impact of Kinsey’s study of sexuality related to how it changed the public’s perception of sexuality and how people are sexually socialized. People who engaged in more sexual activity were considered to be less than. As opposed to people who were more conservative with their sex life.
3. Summarize the impact of the Kinsey Report and the sexual revolution of the 1960s on American sexuality. It changed the way that people viewed sexuality, the studies conducted prompted people to view sex as something that is allowed to happen before marriage and a healthy sex life is considered normal.
4. Explain the development of sexual orientation (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or asexual) in terms of both static and fluid sexuality. Started as early as the Greek empire, they were one of the first civilizations to allow for people to be intimate with who they pleased. It eventually became ostracized because of the church’s practices and views. Nowadays things have changed and we as humans are focused on being more accepting of someone’s sexual preferences.
5. Describe the phenomenon of homophobia (both institutional and informal) and the implications it has for LGBTQ individuals in modern-day America. Institutional discrimination involves the state apparatus.If homophobic discrimination is institutional, it means either that non-heterosexual sex acts are criminalized or that LGBTQ individuals are denied the same legal rights as heterosexuals (“Discrimination,” 2020; “Employment Non-Discrimination Act,” 2020; “Homophobia,” 2020).Informal discrimination is not necessarily sanctioned by the state, but involves social pressures against LGBTQ individuals, behaviors, and identities.
