Date Rape
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper which discusses the occurrence of date rape and presents an intervention involving education as a possible solution to the problem. Too often the reason for date rape is inability to communicate so that the other understands. Currently, the methods approached primarily address what the woman can do to prevent date rape, and rarely do we see the men approached or taught about date rape and their responsibility. The intervention addresses group talks which will enable men and women in colleges to better learn to communicate and understand the implications and the seriousness of date rape.

The Crime Of Rape / Responsibility, Blame, & Reporting The Incident
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page research paper in which the writer discusses the failure of most women to report rape due to the unfortunate reality that society fails to accept their definition of rape in many cases and is not always sympathetic towards their plea for justice. Comparisons are made between male and female views of rape and who should be blamed. For example, men are more likely to blame the woman if she is known to have acted in a provocative, 'sexy' fashion whereas women may blame a rape victim because of their need to feel that they are in control of a violent situation and also because of their need to distance themselves from the victim. Disparate psychological issues concerning recovery & coping are also discussed. Bibliography lists more than 20 sources.

Affects Of Racial Stereotypes On Society
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Society has been struggling to overcome centuries of racism, racial conflicts and racial polarization. There is virtually no segment of society that is not affected by racial stereotypes, which are oversimplified or mistaken attitudes, opinions or judgments.

The writer discusses how racial stereotypes affect society. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

HIV: Cause and Effect
[ send me this paper ]
For many years, the origin of the HIV virus was unknown. Now, scientists believe that a subspecies of chimpanzee native to west equatorial Africa has been identified as the original source of HIV-1.

Since those early phases, there has been substantial epidemiological evidence that this is the most important epidemic of the twentieth century, both in terms of its toll on young adults in the United States and its toll in much of the developing world. The epidemic has been addressed by a broad-based attack: basic science studies, prevention efforts, immunology studies, vaccine development, and treatment.
