Pornography: Different Views
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the opinions surround pornography. Contrasts the views of two feminist, Catherine MacKinnon and Sallie Tisdale, each of which perceives pornography in widely divergent ways. While MacKinnon's 'Not A Moral Issue' explains the adverse impacts of pornography to women and society as a whole, Tisdale's 'Talk Dirty to Me: An Intimate Philosophy of Sex' is receptive to pornography despite these adverse impacts, suggesting in fact that the solution to the problems associated with pornography is a greater role of women in production of that pornography.

The Crime Of Rape / Responsibility, Blame, & Reporting The Incident
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper in which the writer discusses the failure of most women to report rape due to the unfortunate reality that society fails to accept their definition of rape in many cases and is not always sympathetic towards their plea for justice. Comparisons are made between male and female views of rape and who should be blamed. For example, men are more likely to blame the woman if she is known to have acted in a provocative, 'sexy' fashion whereas women may blame a rape victim because of their need to feel that they are in control of a violent situation and also because of their need to distance themselves from the victim. Disparate psychological issues concerning recovery & coping are also discussed. Bibliography lists more than 20 sources.

Abortion: Pros And Cons
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Of the top ten social issues troubling contemporary society, abortion is most assuredly at the head of the list. That the pro-life/pro-choice banter still exists within the twenty-first century speaks to the intense discord that continues to endure between the issue's two sides. Assessing the pros and cons of abortion from both an ethical egoist and psychological egoist perspective finds completely divergent approaches; indeed, when one attempts to pit one against the other as a means by which to provide a convincing argument, one soon realizes that both sides have equally as convincing foundations. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
