Part 1:

You have spent time throughout this course reflecting on your own thoughts, attitudes and beliefs regarding sexuality and gender development. Now it is time to articulate those thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs.

For the first part of this assignment you will choose a minimum of four topics from the list below (Please choose 4 topics that would be easiest for you to write about) and discuss your values, attitudes, and beliefs regarding each (My values, beliefs and attitudes are open and whatever you choose for the sake of this paper). Describe the positive and negative experiences of each that have influenced you. Be sure to reflect on each topic you chose. You should use the topics as subheadings for your paper. Your paper should be in APA format and include a title page. No references are required. ­

• Premarital sex ­
• Same-sex relationships ­
• Gay adoptions ­
• Contraception/Protection ­
• Abortion ­ Masturbation ­

• Abstinence education in schools ­
• Treatment vs. Punishment of sex offenders ­

A number of factors may have influenced the development of your thinking about these topics. Examples include the following: ­

• Educational experiences ­
• Peers or friends ­

• Cultural or ethnic background ­
• Social experiences ­
• Other experiences that have been important to you

Be sure to include information about yourself such as your age, number of children in your family, birth order, parents’ marital status, etc. This SHOULD NOT be a chronology of your life- you should describe your attitudes, beliefs and values and how they came to be that way. Length of paper should be at least 7 pages not including title page.
