	Maslow's hierarchy of needs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory in psychology that Abraham Maslow proposed in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation, which he subsequently extended.
		Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the four lower levels are grouped together as deficiency needs associated with physiological needs, while the top level is termed growth needs associated with psychological needs.
		Humans want to be accepted and to belong, whether it be to clubs, work groups, religious groups, family, gangs, etc. They need to feel loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others, and to be accepted by them.

		She is critical of the dominate perspective which she describes as intolerant of sexuality that does not fall within the married, heterosexual, and procreative relationship.

	Sexual Assault Pervasive in Military, Experts Say
		Sexual trauma is the subject of an increasing number of studies about workplace safety in the armed forces, according to Pentagon's Web site and health care experts.
		A new assessment of risk factors for sexual assault in the military says that 28 percent of female veterans reported sexual assault during their careers, with consistent rates found across eras, according to a report in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.
		The issue of consent to a sexual encounter is also more complicated in military situations than in civilian life because of the hierarchy of military command, says Gene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice, a private group.

	The Life of Lesbia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A hierarchical organization of sexual objects in antiquity was based on the social status of the passive partner, the basest being the slave, either a domestic or a prostitute, who by coercion, not by will, is subjected to sexual penetration.
		Her function is purely sexual and she is integral to society because of the male's hunger for sexual release.
		The former is sexual, the latter domestic and fertile.

	Jouvert: (Re)sexualizing the Desexualized Asian Male
		Gay sexuality serves as a primary theme for Ken Chu, who simultaneously depicts his own frustrations with the overwhelming dominance of the colonizer's sexual hierarchy and his tireless search for an alternative to that hierarchy.
		Joo implies that sexual possibilites for Asian men and women are strictly limited by the colonizer's perception of Asians as objects to be purchased, reproduced, consumed and disposed.
		In their works, race and sexuality are ultimately intertwined and the artistic identity of either Ken Chu or Michael Joo does not center on race alone, and to deny or deprioritize the integral themes of male sexuality would be to emasculate the potency of their works.

		The verb is the same as the action of the heavily sexualized key of Riddle 44 ("wile þæt cuþe hol/ mid his hangellan heafde gretan" 5b-6).
		The sexually enthusiastic partners are appropriately gromheortum, "fierce-spirited," while the riddle-subject is presumably winterceald because slæpwerigne in contrast with such enthusiasm.

		In cases of cross-class adultery, the lower-class male convicted of sexual intimacy with his employer's wife would, because he had violated taboos of class and property, be beheaded together with her.
		What ever its origin, the function of the male's sexual antipathy is to provide a means of control over a subordinate group and a rationale which justifies the inferior station of those in a lower order, "explaining" the oppression of their lives.
		Woman is still denied sexual freedom and the biological control over her body through the cult of virginity, the double standard, the prescription against abortion, and in many places because contraception is physically or psychically unavailable to her.

		The Maltz Hierarchy of Sexual Interaction model is predicated on the notion that certain conditions shape the nature of sexual interaction -- whether it is experienced as healthy or hurtful.
		Sexual energy can unite a couple in a dance of tenderness and passion, heightening their self-awareness and strengthening their self-esteem and commitment to one another.
		According to the Maltz Hierarchy, sexual energy is channeled along one of two routes: the path to disintegration and disconnection, or the path to integration and connectedness (see Figure 1).

	Clueless At The Top: What is a Hierarchy
		David is male and Asian-American, so David is higher on the gender hierarchy than his female co-workers and is lower on the race hierarchy than white co-workers.
		David participates in a religious hierarchy in which he is lower than the clergy, but higher than people not of his faith.
		Hierarchies are systems in which the naturally diverse, interconnected complexities and options in our world are ranked.

	Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Dear Boss: Hoax as Popular Communal Narrative in the Case of the Jack the Ripper Letters
		The Secret is the founding principle of a particular hierarchy (e.g., private property ownership in the case of capitalism, the Trinity in the case of Christianity).
		Political hierarchy was also at issue, particularly given the fact that the crimes emerged from the East End only a year after demonstrations led by members of the East End working class had been staged in the heart of Westminster.
		The fact that the victims themselves existed at this nexus of economic, social, and sexual hierarchies guaranteed that any discussion of the crimes would entail a wide variety of collective anxieties about secrets and desires for order that otherwise might not have been present.

		Somehow, the professional literature implies that there is a hierarchy with sexual mistreatment at its nadir.
		But it is thought to be a common response to egregious sexual molestation of infants and to other forms of deviance and perversions with minors.
		While sexual and physical abuse are slowly coming to the open and being recognized as the scourges that they are - psychological abuse is still largely ignored.

	Sexual Orientation and Television
		To a large degree, of course, this construction stemmed from the larger context of American society in which the ideals of heterosexuality and family dominated the overall hierarchy of sexual orientation.
		Given the baby boom mentality of the 1950s and 1960s, the sexual orientation of Gunsmoke's characters and their sexuality replicated the dominant values of American society, at least as they were perceived by network programmers and advertisers.
		This has not necessarily meant that their sexual orientation has been ignored, but has been woven together with other concerns to create multi-dimensional, sometimes contradictory characters that reflect some of the experience of gay men and lesbians in American society.

	CHRISTIAN SEXUAL ETHICS
		3) She attributes the sexual hierarchy promoted in the Bible to the social institutions of ancient Israel, and the cultures in which Christianity was first institutionalized.(84) Aquinas's view that women are naturally subordinate to men in history is attributed to his philosophical and theological sources, and his social milieu.(Ch.
		Concerning the question of absolutes in sexual ethics (perhaps the most controversial question in contemporary sexual ethics), the approach taken by Lisa Cahill, as well as some of her conclusions, is markedly different from those taken by Paul Quay, and Ronald Lawler, Joseph Boyle and William May.
		Sexual symbolism, I think, can be related to such basic human goods as knowing the truth, self-integration, interpersonal goods including friendship and marital love, and human life including health and procreation.

		The sexual abuse of children and young people by members of the SOciety of Jesus is both illegal and seriously immoral.
		Working in consultation with our lay review board, we will thoroughly investigate all accusations of child sexual abuse and remove from active ministry all those regarding whom a complaint of sexual abuse of a minor is admitted or established.
		Any charges of sexual abuse by members of the New Orleans Province should be brought to the attention of Rev. Paul Deutsch, S.J., who is Assistant to the Provincial and has been designated to handle all such cases.

		The hierarchy consisted of main men (Cake Daddies), second men (Second Hitters), and third or fourth men (Third Players), with placement depending on age, income, and social status.
		Sexual and economic bartering formed the basis of the hierarchy, and the secrecy involved in such arrangements presented a considerable challenge for STI control.
		The findings suggest that STI control efforts must take the sexual hierarchy and its privacy implications into account if partner notification methods are to be acceptable to African American men.

		Sexuality in a ‘coloured’ context is not exempt from the sexual roles which also pervade white sexual encounters.
		Here Wicomb works with the traditional sexual hierarchy which suggests that Frieda and Moira will be objectified by the men, and these expectations are fulfilled when the women are reacted to not as people, with conversational acknowledgment, but with whistles.
		In this instance of sexual harassment, Wicomb again writes in contradiction to draw attention to the fact that sexual relations, even in the same racial category, are not necessarily characterized by an equality.

	Sexual Freedom, Polyamory, Christianity: The Case For Compatibility
		A sexuality that is bound hand and foot with artificial and legalistic religious restrictions cannot participate in that freedom and thus cannot be a true Christian sexuality.
		In terms of the sexual sphere, the way I have interpreted Scripture does not provide an excuse for an obnoxious, discourteous or careless approach to sexual activity, which might include such foolish behavior as disregard for the emotional sensitivities of others or the neglect of various safety and health concerns in alternative sexual lifestyles.
		Although it focuses on sexuality issues rather than on poly ones, a paper I wrote, published by Liberated Christians, titled "The Cult of Childhood and the Repression of Childhood Sexuality," may be helpful to parents in thinking about sharing difficult issues in these areas with their children.

	Question 41 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		We bring up homosexuality because we believe that the feminist minimization of sexual role differentiation contributes to the confusion of sexual identity that, especially in second and third generations, gives rise to more homosexuality in society.
		It would appear that, in Paul, issues of sexuality are theologically related to hierarchy, and therefore the issues of Biblical feminism and lesbianism are irrefutably intertwined.
		We need to grapple with the possibility that our conflicts over the appropriate use of human sexuality may rather be conflicts rooted in a need to legitimate the traditional social structure which assigns men and women specific and unequal positions.

	Thinking Sex: Sexual Cleansing Forum
		Perhaps one could contrast the point of sexual negativity in that sexual cleansing appears as the OPPOSITE of this (sex disperses evil spirits from women, thus cleansing them versus the construction of sex as 'bad' or 'dirty'), but even this is stretching it.
		The Cleanser brought up the key point, however, that for many communities the elders are less in tune with the concept of HIV, which, as a consequence of sleeping with the cleanser, is less tangible than bad crop yield, a consequence of not sleeping with the cleanser.
		The sexual educator certainly wouldn't be able to influence the villager's beliefs if s/he couldn't bridge the enormous cultural differences.

	Clinical depression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychological factors related to depression include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors such as stress.
		This theory is a special case of a more general theory derived from the psychic pain hypothesis: that the cognitive response that produces modern-day depression evolved as a mechanism that allows people to assess whether they are in pursuit of an unreachable goal, and if they are, to motivate them to desist.
		They are used less commonly now because of their side effects, which include increased heart rate, drowsiness, dry mouth,constipation, urinary retention, blurred vision,dizziness, confusion, and sexual dysfunction.

	"Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
		Shy individuals underestimate their own ability to cope with social situations and are pessimistic about social situations in general, failing to expect favorable responses even when they believe that they are able to perform appropriately and efficaciously.
		A hierarchy of ten feared situations is constructed with the client to role-play in simulated exposures in the group sessions and to practice in-vivo during self-assigned behavioral homework between sessions.
		Our clients are given copies of these hierarchies to guide their practice, and to be revised as goals are met or changed.

	The Pope Just Doesn't Get It
		This interpretation of the role John Paul and the Vatican hierarchy have played in the American scandal comes from interviews with church commentators and academic observers in Canada and the United States, virtually all of whom asked to speak anonymously because they are either priests or teachers at Catholic universities.
		A U.S. Catholic scholar said that because the hierarchy has appeared so duplicitous in dealing with the issue, America's Catholic laity now have no faith in the church's leaders to sort out the problem, to design appropriate screening mechanisms and sanctions for offenders.
		A U.S. commentator on the church said the Pope's statement this week about sexual abuse being a crime and the vow by U.S. Cardinals to put tough national policies into place does not mean the problem has been solved or that it will now go away.

		The hierarchy model is currently being used by marriage therapists, sex educators, abuse and addictions treatment specialists to help individuals understand the conditions for and benefits of practicing healthy sexuality.
		Sexual energy is presented as a benign, natural force, which can be channeled in either destructive or life-affirming ways.
		As a tool in sexual abuse and addiction treatment, couples therapy and sex education, the hierarchy helps individuals understand the need for communication, safety and trust, and points to authentic sexual intimacy as a peak experience in human sexual relating.
