Conversion
and Reparative Therapies for Homosexuals
[ send
me this paper ]
A 7 page examination of the predominant views among
professional organizations like the American Psychiatric
Association regarding the causes of homosexuality and
potential treatments. Emphasizes that views of professional
organizations have evolved considerably over time. This
evolution has occurred both in response to changing societal
views on homosexuality and on emerging research regarding
homosexuals behavior, the biological and societal causes of
this behavior, and potential therapies for that behavior.
The growing gay lobby has had an influence as well in that
they typically oppose reparative therapy. The previously
predominant view that homosexuality is an aberrant condition
which can be treated is declining and an approach geared at
allowing the homosexual to accept who they are. Bibliography
lists 10 sources.

Coworkers
And AIDS: Attitudes
[ send
me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Fear and intolerance comprise the vast
majority of attitudes towards AIDS within the workplace.
Even though the general public is well-educated by now as to
the safety issues associated with contact to an AIDS
patient, there still remains unfounded apprehension when it
comes to working within the same environment as those with
AIDS. Clearly, the HIV/AIDS population faces considerably
more challenges than other members of society do, in that
they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of
acceptance. Their societal counterparts, who are frequently
ignorant to deeper issues surrounding the disease, often
unknowingly make them feel inadequate and worthless when it
comes their life choices. Inasmuch as the workplace is often
a hotbed for judgmental attitudes, AIDS patients have
experienced undue stress that is directly related to
workplace attitudes. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
