“Sex Lies and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen and “Why I’m Black After reading “Sex Lies and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen and “Why I’m Black, Not African American” by John H. McWhorter, I noticed that the articles differ in purpose. While Tannen’s articles seem to inform the reader of the difference in communication between men and women, McWhorter’s article seems to persuade the reader why people regarded as African Americans should instead be referred to as Black. The two articles make a specific point and provide support and reason to support the arguments. Tannen’s point is that men and women should have a cross-cultural understanding regarding communication, which would eliminate the misunderstanding in a conversation between men and women. McWhorter argues that most African Americans have been born and raised in America and only know America as their home. Therefore they should be called Blacks instead of African Americans. Both articles use a point by point organization addressing one point of comparison at a time. In terms of style, I think Tannen’s article takes the form of expository writing since it…

Same-sex marriage The Supreme court, in its 2015 ruling, made same -ex marriage legal in all 50 states under the controversial decision Obergefell v. Hodges. Granted that no court case remains permanent, should the Supreme Court re-consider the ruling in light of opposition from some states, mostly in the South and Midwest? Is the decision regarding same-sex marriage the prerogative of the state governments or the national government? Due to the numerous concerns that people from different countries have raised, the Supreme Court should reconsider its ruling on same sex marriage because the issue does not only affect social life but religious morals as well. The religious perspective points out that marriage should be between a man and a woman, therefore, rendering the Supreme Court decision void. Is the decision regarding same-sex marriage the prerogative of the state governments or the national government? The prerogative on decisions regarding same-sex marriage lies in the jurisdiction of the national government. The central government is in charge of making any legal decisions that affect all citizens and thus it is mandated to determine…

Comparison between the mutant phenotypes of Drosophila Melanogaster Abstract The purpose of this lab report is to outline the comparison between the mutant phenotypes of Drosophila Melanogaster, commonly known as Fruitfly to phenotypes of the Wild-type flies. In this experiment, the phenotypes are compared in the resulting F1 and F2 generations. The F1 and F2 were used in generating the two mutants that were used in setting up the parental cross; hence the appropriate phenotypic ratios were used. In the F1 generation, the white eye mutant was identified on the male fruit fly. In the subsequent F2 generation, there was newly identified mutant in both male and female in which two distinct phenotypes, the white eye mutant were observed again. Prediction of this outcome had much to do with the result which was created by setting up white-eyed males and wild type females Introduction The fruit fly, commonly known as Drosophila melanogaster, is an organism that is frequently used in studying different biological processes such as inheritance and genetics. The use of this organism has various advantages in that it…

 no evidence that peanuts reduce sex drive and satisfaction in women Presently, there is no evidence that peanuts reduce sex drive and satisfaction in women. Also called groundnuts or earthnuts, peanuts are common in many households. Foods that are high in fat are associated with low libido. And some women fear its effects on their desire and sexual performance. Let’s have a closer look at this legume. Yes, peanuts are high in fat (44-56%), which consists of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is the reason they are oilseeds. And the more substantial part of harvested peanuts goes into making peanut oil. Protein is another significant component in peanuts. It contains about 22-30% protein content making it an excellent plant-based source. On the other hand, they contain little carbs. The high protein, fiber, and fat content, and the low carbs mean that they have a low glycemic index (GI). GI indicates how fast carbs pass into your blood after eating. It is the reason peanuts are good for diabetic people. Peanuts are rich in minerals and vitamins such as biotin,…

Sexual Harassment in the Army             Cases of sexual harassment have continued to be an issue of concern despite the efforts employed to have the situation under control. The cases have been reported from genders, although females have reported more cases than their male counterparts. The causes of sexual harassment range from gender stereotypes to cultural experiences. A broader understanding of the root causes is needed in a bid to develop effective strategies to stop the menace. The current training approach plays a significant role in reducing the number of cases associated with sexual harassment since some causes can be related to a lack of sufficient training. However, more effective approaches are needed to see that the situation is put under control and that both victims and perpetrators are handled accordingly. Sexual harassment is still an issue of concern, and better strategies are required to see that the menace is put under control. Cases of sexual harassment continue to take place in the army due to several factors that have proved hard to deal with using the existing approaches. First,…

women’s sexuality Research done about women’s sexuality revealed that about 4 in 10 suffer from sexual dysfunction. And the problem that has always puzzled people is how to make their sex life better. So are there well-tested aphrodisiacs for women? No, there is no absolute aphrodisiac. However, smaller studies have shown that some popular aphrodisiacs from plants or animals may increase sexual desire. Let us see a few. First, we have ginseng. It is a well-known herb, and research on animals indicated it could enhance potency. There is no irrefutable study when it comes to women. Some researchers, however, claim the Korean red ginseng is a known sexual arousal booster in menopausal women. According to Mayo Clinic, apart from insomnia, there are no other known side effects. Maca, which has its origins in Ande, Peru, is another aphrodisiac that has been around for ages. Studies are not conclusive, but some subjects have confirmed it causes arousal, hot flashes, and fertility. Some quarters also believe spicy foods will stimulate sexual pleasure. Capsaicin found in cayenne pepper has been linked to this…
