Read lecture then answer 7 questions.Write 1-2 paragraphs for each question.Question 1REPRESENTING SEx- Symbolic shapes and traditional symbols in art that represent female sexuality include the downward triangle representing the pubic triangle, the mandorla representing virginity, and the shell representing the symbol of the vulva. Traditional symbols that represent the male sexuality include the maypole, obelisk, sword and other phallic shaped objects to represent virility and fertility. What other symbols represent human sexuality, reproduction, and fertility?Question 2REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN- How are women depicted in popular culture today? The expression “sex sells” can readily be validated by looking in virtually any magazine, those geared for either men or women. What are the different roles for women in popular media? Use a specific example to support your idea. if possible upload a low res image. Conversely, how are men represented in popular culture? Is it more positive then women? Why Question 3SAME SEX- This chapter only addresses couples of the opposite sex. Little mention is made of same sex couples depicted in artwork or artwork by homosexual artists, such as the works by Robert Mapplethorpe and Felix Gonzales-Torres. Why do you think this is? Should it be included? Why or why not? Question 4Fertility Goddess The Venus of Willendorf , the Idol from Amorgos , God Te Rongo and His Three Sons , and the Ashante Akua’ba Dolls are all fertility gods/goddesses/figures. What are their similarities? What are their differences?Question 5Art or Pornography? Some of the images in the text are rather graphic images of couples having intercourse. Moche Pottery Depicting Sexual Intercourse is a Moche ceramic vessel from c. 1000-1250 depicting a couple having intercourse that could have been for sex education. Kitagawa Utamaro illustrated a Pair of Lovers for the Pillow Book in Japan in 1788. Two examples from India include a relief sculpture from the Kandarya Mahadeva Temple of a group and sole individuals engaged in sexual activity from c. 1000 and a miniature painting Krishna and Radha in a Pavilion of a woman and man (Krishna the incarnation of Vishnu) involved in intercourse from 1760. All of these examples depict people having sex, but all are considered art. When are graphic images of sex considered art, when are they considered biological illustration and education, and when are they considered pornography? Can pornography be considered art? To what extent?Question 6Aware or unaware that you are being viewed. Discuss the differences between portrayels of women in this chapter where they are aware of being viewed verus being unaware. The women in Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres’ Grande Odalisque and Edouard Manet’s Olympia are aware of the viewers voyeuristic gaze. Mary in Rogier Van Der Weyedens nurses the baby Jesus seemingly unaware of our presence as do the figures in the Iniatiation Rites of Dionysos. What is the viewer invited to do in each case? What is the attitude of the women to being viewed? Which images are the most sexual? The most sensual? The most disturbing? The most provocative? The most controversial? Why?Question 7Pick one image from the chapter that you think best exemplifies Reproduction and Sexuality. Explain your answer.

This is only a discussion board thread and NOT A FORMAL THREAD!!! READ THE ENTIRE POST!!PLEASE READ COMPLETELY THE READINGS THAT ARE BELOW!!!!THIS IS GRADED VERY STRICT AND AT A COLLEGE LEVEL!!!NO MORE THAN 600 WORDS!!Thread: In this course you have spent a considerable amount of time studying metaethics, examining various ethical theories that promise to provide you with a methodology for determining right from wrong. These included a simple “list” metaethic, Virtue Ethics, Natural Law Ethics, Ethical Egoism, Utilitarianism, Duty Ethics, and the Revelational Christian Ethic, as well as related metaphysical views such as Social Contract Theory, Moral Realism, Divine Command Theory, and Divine Nature Theory. Now it is time for you to decide for yourself how you are going to distinguish what is moral from what is immoral. This is your chance to devise your own metaethical theory and present it to the class.In a post of 500 to 600 words, systematically describe what you think is the best way to approach ethics. Your goal is to explain how we can know what makes an action moral or immoral. In doing this you must interact with the ethical theories that you have studied in class. You are not required to adopt one of these theories; you may make up your own or use one that you have come across in your research from other assignments/readings, but you can adopt one of the theories that you have studied if one of them seems best to you. Alternatively you can combine theories if you think certain aspects of various theories work and complement each other, but be careful that you do not adopt theories that contradict one another. In your thread, explain your theory and give a rationale for why you think yours is the best approach. Your argument(s) for your approach must be carefully-considered, logical arguments, not just “I feel like that would be best” or “that’s what I was raised to believe.”Do not stray into a lengthy discussion of applied ethics. Be sure that this assignment focuses strictly on metaethics. Save applied ethics for your next Discussion Board. Be sure to carefully define your terms. You are encouraged to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count.You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. This is a university-level writing assignment and therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Do not use slang, emoticons, or abbreviations (as if you are texting or sending an email to a friend).
