Faulty Arguments Used by Opponents of Same-Sex Marriages
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper outlining faulty arguments used by opponents of same-sex marriages. Arguments used by opponents of same-sex marriages are often faulty in that they appeal to prejudice, pity, and traditional marriage while at the same time attack the character of their opponents, present false dilemmas and beg to question the issue in order to draw the attention away from some of the real issues being argued. Because of this many of their arguments are based on the faulty use of evidence or incorrect inferences.

Female Androgynous Adolescents: Better Self-Image Than Being Either Very Masculine Or Very Feminine Girls?
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. When it comes to social acceptance, there exist some very strict guidelines: An individual is either male or female. Indeed, little room for approval is given for those who do not fall into one of these two confining categories, often forcing people to assume roles that abide by social dictates. Female adolescents are particularly susceptible to issues of androgyny as they relate to self-image and overall social acceptance. One can readily argue that those female adolescents who display androgynous tendencies do not, in fact, feel better about themselves than if they were either very masculine or very feminine girls, inasmuch society places much too much pressure for an individual to offer a clear and recognizable distinction between the two portrayals.

Gay And Lesbian Marriages: Should They Be Allowed To Be Married In The Independently Same Way As Heterosexuals?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Perhaps no other issue in contemporary society strikes a chord of disharmony more than the current debate over gay and lesbian marriages. When one considers the volatile nature of this particular social concern, it is important to understand why such conflict exists and if any common denominators reside between opposition and supporters. In short, the crux of the dispute questions the sanctity of traditional marriage as defined between a man and a woman. Furthermore, the issue of children brought up in such an unconventional family setting has raised great concerns over whether or not such an environment is emotionally stable and or healthy.
