Description
I will have a photo of the description of the paper and rubric! Thank you! I will also put the description in here as well!
Write a 3 page paper on a topic of your choice (anything related to Psychology 259- Human Sexuality). You must give your paper a title. You must include a minimum of 1 scholarly journal article as reference and 2 additional references. You may use additional references but at least 1 must be from a Scholarly Journal which includes information about an actual study involving your topic. Remember that a Scholarly Journal Article will have an abstract and original research (not just an article that discusses another study). Publications such as Psychology Today, Web M.D.,etc. do NOT count as scholarly articles. See the LRC page for more information on selecting a scholarly article. A reference page must be included (see APA format) that cites these articles.
This paper must be typed (double–spaced) and in APA format (see resources previously given). Your topic must be approved by the instructor. This will be a review of the literature (see APA form and website for additional information). Remember a review of the literature means researching what other psychologists have learned about your topic through their research. You will have an introductory paragraph (your title will appear above). Next you will present your research findings. Finally you will write a conclusion (called Discussion) in which you sum up what you have learned and what you conclude about your topic. The Disussion section is a separte section in your paper. Your last page will be your References. See the APA handouts or check the “Purdue Owl” for actual examples of papers that review the literature.

shelter or gifts. However, it is different from prostitution in that prostitution is characterized by
sexual intercourse for the exchange of valuable properties such as money with many partners,
while transactional sex is mostly practiced with one or two partners. A better distinction between
transactional sex workers and prostitutes is that the former deal with boyfriends while the latter
deal with clients. Transactional sex is practiced in rural, urban and semi-urban areas and its
primary drive is the desire for money and other material benefits. Interests in research on factors
that promote this type of sex started way back in the 1990s, and it has remained an area of
concern in the current times (Robinson & Yeh, 2011).
Social scientists worldwide have a hard time due to the different societal views. Among
different societal cultures, gifts of all kinds are appreciated in sexual and romanti...
