Human Sexuality: Scholarly Vs Popular Media
Human Sexuality
Scholarly Vs Media
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to compare scholarly versus popular media on human sexuality.
The journal that was chosen to be discussed is called “Infidelity in dating relationships” The authors of this journal are as follows: Richard McNaulty and Jocelyn Brinemen. This was published on December 1, 2007. This study was conducted using research from a discussion group of younger college aged students. These students were asked to define a word and also a definition was given to them and they were asked what that definition meant to them. They had issues with this study because not everyone has the same view on what infidelity or cheating actually is. Almost all the students …show more content…
The story seems to be very straight forward with the attitude of men cheat because they always have. A paragraph in this story suggests that men are really born cheaters by cheating on their taxes and etc. This article makes it sound like hey men always cheat deal with it. On the other hand it also discusses what makes a woman cheat. According to this story women cheat because when we ovulate it is natural for us to seek out and acquire the best sperm we can find. Boys will be boys and the cheaters will never stop cheating. Women accept the fact that men cheat and why should men change it? It even goes as far as stating as long as there are women who will fool around with your man then there will be …show more content…
The people interviewed for that journal were not cocky and proud of what they had done. They shared their answers based on their feelings. The media article is more of a straight cut what the boys talk about late on Friday night. The first story doesn’t idolize men or women for infidelity where the second story seems to focus on how great the men who were known for cheating are. When looking for an answer that is based on findings from asking regular people questions the scholarly journal is the one you need to look at. If you just want to read a popular men’s magazine website then the other story is for you. Professors dislike the media type websites when it comes to preparing a paper. You cannot base good research on a media website as most are on the net to make money. Sex sells and people who are looking at men’s magazine websites are not looking for solid defined answers but rather a good read. In conclusion I have read both of the articles and actually I feel that the media has made men who cheat something to idolize. It makes me sick to read that women have a thing for Bill Clinton. His looks alone are appalling and the fact that he would like to the whole USA and his wife makes me sicker. I dislike cheating of any kind and I have been cheated on by someone in my past. This is the reason I am alone
