PART I - In the chapter on sexual behavior, we learned that different cultures and countries view sexual orientation in various ways. For example, in some places, sexual orientation is viewed as a learned behavior that people have a choice over, and individuals are ostracized if their orientation or behavior is not the same as the majority’s behavior. In other areas, sexual orientation is considered a biological matter, implying that choice is not part of it. In other locations, sexual orientation is considered a mixture of biology and environment, where both influences are present.
Please remember your readings on genetics and epigenetics, or any related studies or concepts as you answer the following.
Do you believe that it is ethical for agencies, institutions, or organizations to try to change people’s sexual orientation through means of punishment or suppression? Why? In what ways have institutions and organizations done this? Give examples.
Do you believe sexual orientation is an issue that we, as a society, should be involved in? Assuming that there is no abuse (e.g., child abuse, animal abuse, rape and violence, etc.) present in your bedroom, would you want society to tell you the gender of the person that you are allowed to have sex with? Why or why not?
PART II - Reflect upon late adulthood. How do
