assignment.docASSIGNMENT
Please respond to each of the following five (5) questions.
Your response to each question must be supported with at least two (2) references, cited in APA format. At least one of these must be a “primary reference” (a primary reference is most often a peer-reviewed journal or periodical research article, not a magazine). Accessing and citing on-line journal articles is fine, but the citation must be in APA format. For the second reference you may cite any reputable on-line source that you wish, but once again the full citation must be in APA format. Please refer to the course home page for more information on APA style requirements. Each of the questions must have unique references (in other words you can not use the same reference twice). Thus, you will end up with a total of 10 references for your five questions. If you cite your textbook that is fine, but this must be a third reference.
It is anticipated that you will need at least two full pages to adequately respond to each question. Thus, your completed assignment will be approximately ten double –spaced pages total. Please use 1-inch margins and 12-point font, Times New Roman.

Religion plays a powerful role in regulating sexuality and influencing how we think about and experience sex. Identify a topic related to religion and sex (examples include but are not limited to: celibacy, virginity, sex as sinful, Adam and Eve, pro-creation, birth control, abortion, etc.). Then, using the two required references, explain the origin of the specific topic you have chosen, its impact on male and female sexuality, how the topic has changed over time, and its status today.

Different countries sometimes have very different beliefs and practices related to human sexuality. Identify a topic related to international human sexuality issues (examples include but are not limited to: female genital mutilation, prostitution, gender roles and expectations, female vs. male offspring, virginity, fertility, birth control, etc.). Then, using the two required references, explain the origin of the specific topic you have chosen, its impact on male and female sexuality, how the topic has changed over time, and its status today.
Ethical Issues and Human Sexuality
There are numerous moral and ethical issues related to human sexuality which collectively define our boundaries and limitations both as individuals and as a society. Identify a topic related to ethical and/or moral issues with human sexuality (examples include but are not limited to: sexual behaviors, sexual orientation, atypical sexual behavior, sexual coercion, sex for sale, abortion, sex as a weapon of war, etc.). Then, using the two required references, explain the origin of the specific topic you have chosen, its impact on male and female sexuality, how the topic has changed over time, and its status today.

Then, using the two required references, explain the origin of the specific topic you have chosen, its impact on male and female sexuality, how the topic has changed over time, and its status today.
Journal Article Review
Choose an article from a standard research journal (such as Journal for Sexuality Research). In your own words, provide a brief summary of the article. Using this article and the second required reference, explain how this specific topic relates to human sexuality in today’s modernized world.
