In this essay, I will be writing each political party's solution to sexual problems within our society of the United States of America. The first political point of view I will write about are the Conservative's point of view. Conservatives believe that each person should have a good moral compass on what is right and wrong sexually. Conservatives that sexuality should be used within marriage, and not outside of marriage. They believe that issues such as premarital sex are social issues, and think that they have the potential to increase the population of pregnancy in teenagers and sexually transmitted diseases. Conservatives are against pornography and prostitution for their effect of damaging marriages and morality.
Conservatives show strong dislike for abortion laws because it ends the lives of innocent unborn children. Therefore, they believe that encouraging higher levels of being sexually responsible will also prevent unacceptable pregnancies from emerging. However, not every conservative person agree on each point of sexuality. An example for a topic is homosexuality. While a percentage of conservatives do not endorse homosexuality for morality and religious reasons, another percentage of more moderate conservatives approve of homosexuality and are supportive of gay marriage. Conservatives believe that every social problem in the sexuality spectrum can be cured through social environments such as church, schools and good family lives.
The next political view I will cover is the Liberal's solution to sexual social problems. Liberals believe that people should have their own exclusive freedoms. Liberals believe that an individual should have the rights to how they feel about sexuality. Therefore, this gives Liberals a personality that is more tolerant of sexuality. Liberals are also more tolerant of premarital sex, as long as the individual is mature and has a good knowledge base on the responsibilities of their actions. Liberals have boundaries of their tolerance towards sexual violence, AIDS and teenage pregnancy for examples. While liberals believe in freely speaking about sexuality, they believe that pornography are harmful to women.
They also believe that schools can give guidance to younger people in making wise decisions about sexuality. They also view the Criminal Justice System as a method for fighting against crimes such as domestic violence and rape. Liberals also believe that the government can use the tools they have to bring the ending of AIDS into the realm of possibility. Lastly, Liberals are supportive of abortion and abortion being funded by the government. The last political point of view is the Radical Left. Individuals on The Radical Left believe that sexual orientation, sexual violence, prostitution and pornography is the result of a socially unequal society. Radical Feminists within The Radical Left believe that the United States of America has too much patriarchy, therefore resulting in gender inequality that makes men dominate over women.
Therefore, the Radical left believes in erasing the classification of gender as a whole. They also believe that if technological advantages in reproduction are achieved, than women will be separated the historical stereotype of pregnancy. Therefore, radical feminists encourage teamwork to stay away from being dependent on the male population. A small amount of women also recommend breaking sexual connections with men to show respect for lesbians.
In conclusion, sexuality will definitely be in existence a century from now. However, one must choose where they stand sexually.

The Social Problem Of Sexual Harassment
In our society, of the United States Of America, sexuality is commonly discussed and advertised in multiple forms. When sexuality emerges in our culture, so does violence. Therefore, because of the two activities, sexual harassment emerges. In this essay, I will be writing about why sexual harassment emerges, and the results of the crime. To begin, the act of sexual violence can consist of either abuse through words and sexual intercourse being forced upon the victim. Both men and women are victims of this crime.
Some forms of analysis state that in the culture of the United States Of America, Violence and Sexuality are interlaced. Sexual violence branches off into sexual harassment. Sexual harassment consists of inappropriate remarks, hand signals and molesting of a sexual personality. During the women's movement of the 1960's, the events of sexual harassment in various environments were put to a halt. The Civil Rights Act was accepted in 1964, which prevented employment discrimination from occurring among not only African Americans but Women as well.
By 1972, the Civil Rights Act expanded to other environments such as schools, colleges and universities. In the year of 1976, a case in court increased awareness of sexual harassment in public. Therefore, it was categorized as a severe problem. According to the EEOC, there are two different categories of sexual harassment. The first category is known as quid pro quo harassment. Quid Pro Quo translates from latin to "one thing for another".
This type of harassment involves sexual approaches and sexual desires to be applied to another employee or as an aspect of employment. The other type of sexual harassment is more mild behavior. This type of behavior consists of inappropriate jokes, showcasing photographs which contain nudity, giving complimentary comments towards an individual's physical appearance and touching an individual in inappropriate ways. However, the law is most concerned on how it affects the individual, and is not limited to the offender. Therefore, the goal of the law is to prevent any acts that are of hostile behavior, and shows no bias towards the offender's motivations. To move on, I will explain what gender sexually harasses another gender.
Eighty-five percent of men sexually harass women, due to men holding a majority of power in the United States of America, and therefore have multiple roles in our society. On some occasions, men become victims of sexual harassment by other men, with the offender's motivation to force the male victim to blend into gender stereotypes. The United States Supreme Court addressed issue of sexual harassment two different times in the year of 1998. Both cases consists of women being sexually harassed in both mild and severe areas within work environments.
In conclusion, there are many points of view to sexual harassment, ones that are corrupt and other points of view that are morally correct. Either way, no matter where sexual harassment originates, it is not an acceptable act whatsoever.

Radicals View On Violence
In our society, we not only have the Left and Right political viewpoints. However, we also have the Radical Left and The Radical Right. I will be reviewing their similarities in this essay, and what both points of view believe. The Radical Left and Radical Right both view violence as an act of insurrection. People on the Radical Left and Radical Right believe that violence is the result of too much control in the government. Both sides also believe that acts of violence is an act of rebellion against the government by people who have no power.
Even though the Radical Left and the Radical Right agree with those viewpoints, they disagree on others. How they differ in their views on violence is that while the Radical Left believes that a shifting in political institutions are necessary, the Radical Right believe that society should be independent from the control of the government. While the Radical Left believes that the Capitalist agenda should be shut down, the Radical Right believe that society should have the right to bear fire-arms. Also, the Radical Right believe that laws such as the Welfare System and banning prayer in schools disables individuals from relying on themselves and running to the government for help. However, the Radical Left believes that we need a economic and political system which is not controlled by wealthy individuals.
In conclusion, both the Radical Left and Right agree and disagree on the solutions to violence. We can also hope that violence will decrease over time.

Sociological Theories On Violence
In the studies of biology and psychology, they analyze violence from individual to individual. However, in the study of sociology, sociologists study society as a whole. This paper will be based upon the sociological theories on violence, and why it occurs. The first theory is know as the Structural-Functional Analysis theory. This approach mentions that traditions in culture are what establishes violence. An archived study which was done by Marvin Wolfgang and Franco Ferracuti studied the culture within Sicily, and how they feel that jealousy within their family makes their honor safe.
This belief states that if a man shows disrespect by fleeing with a daughter, the cultural standards results in violence. This form of violence would have the potential to violate the law in the United States of America, but in a setting such as Sicily, this form of Violence is a requirement. While the method does not occur as often in modern-day Sicily, the method i still present in many religious cultures. A thesis known as the "Culture Of Violence" mentions that a society's intensity in violence varies in its cultural standards. In a similar way, a subculture has the potential to endorse violence. Researchers have claimed that a minority of younger men that are resident in low-income homes in the city use violence as a life standard.
This can be the result of not finishing college or obtaining a great job. In a survey taken by high-school students, nine-teen percent of girls an forty-three percent of boys stated that it is acceptable for someone to attack or threaten another individual if the individual makes them mad. Sixty-percent of girls and seventy-five percent of boys have claimed they committed this act. The second approach is the Symbolic-Interaction Analysis. The origins of violence are learned through communication with other individuals daily.
Children learn about violence through their parents and other individuals who are mutual to them, and mimic their behavior. Studies have shown that when a child acts out in aggressive behavior, they are rewarded for their acts of violence. Also kids who are victims of violence obtain their own violent behavior as they age. Peer groups, who are individuals we grow up with, become a vital aspect of learning. In college campuses, men use sexual violence as a sport, and women become victims of their act of violence.
The third and last theory is known as the social-conflict analysis. This form of analysis views violence as a result of inequality. The first theory within this theory is known as the "Marxist Theory". Karl Marx stated that societies who have a capitalist agenda were separated into two categories. These two categories are ruling capitalists and workers. According to Karl Marx, the elite of the capitalists are in control of society, and the elite capitalists make people work hard to endure.
Karl Marx also thought that the elite capitalist use the national guard and police forces to prevent rebellion against this agenda. Within his theory, he felt that violence being used by capitalists to defend their control over society, which is known as Structural Violence. Therefore, the result of structural violence is poverty. The last theory inside of the social-conflict analysis is the feminist theory. Feminists feel that men dominate women the separation of society. Feminists also feel that violence is the result of women being second in rank.
Women have lower income than men, many of them do not have roles in the government and are lesser in power compared to men daily. Therefore, women become victims of sexual violence by men who view themselves in control. Both theories inside of this analysis view from their own status, therefore they both believe that crime and riots are rebellious acts, but not as breaking the law. They view rebellious acts a way to attack an agenda that is tainted with corruption.
In conclusion, all theories have good views on why violence emerges. Therefore, we must take the views into consideration. This is the reason why the Sociological Approach is more effective than other types of approach.
