Physical castration is an extreme punishment that benefits both the offender and the victim in the easiest of ways.

The Castration of Eloisa in Pope's Eloisa to Abelard If Pope's intent in writing an Ovidian heroic epistle is to show the entire range of his protagonist's emotions from meekness to violent passion, then he was wise to choose the twelfth-century story of Eloisa and Abelard as his subject. Eloisa and her teacher Abelard retired to different monasteries after her family discovered they were lovers and brutally castrated him. Years later, Eloisa by chance intercepted a letter from Abelard to a
of those who were no longer men. Castration has been a prominent practice throughout history, representing dedication to a higher power and the elimination of certain life pleasures. The idea may be pure in its intent, but the ramifications of mutilation created not only physical side effects but also mental and social effects that would alienate this genderless class. The eunuchs of medieval times were an interesting group of individuals who believed castration led to full dedication to a higher
common forms of self-destruction. These forms of self-harm often lead to suicide. There are three types of self-mutilation. The rarest and most extreme form is Major self-mutilation.

on Pig Castration Maria Belu Background: Castration of pigs has been a long standing practice in the U.S and has recently come under scrutiny as welfare issues have become more important. Castration of male piglets has been done to deal with a phenomenon known as “boar taint”. When male pigs reach puberty, they secrete a pheromone known as Androstenon, and an intestinal product, Skatole, both which give the meat an offensive odor many consumers find intolerable (AVMA, 2013). Castration alleviates
I choose Fight Club as my topic, because I am so familiar with it. Fight Club was the first movie shocked me deeply. Jack, Tyler and Marla are the main characters of Fight Club, a white-collar worker, a soap manufacturer, and a female smoker who makes a living by sale the clothes she steal off from washing machine. Jack is an insomniac, he find the cancer patients’ meeting can make him go sleep. Therefore, he is addictive for those different kinds of meeting, same as Marla. One time, when Jack went
representative of sexual difference, a signifier of the male castration complex. The woman is “displayed for the gaze and enjoyment of men, the active controllers of the look,” yet threatens to evoke castration anxiety. The male unconscious escapes castration by disavowing it, substituting a fetish object so that “it becomes reassuring rather than dangerous” (21). Mulvey describes this phenomenon as fetishistic scopophilia, which emphasizes the physical beauty of the object and converts it into something
calculable, harmless, and non-threatening. To speak of John in psychoanalytic terms, his preoccupation with his wife, her body, and her confinement, reveals unspoken anxieties: the fear of castration and the "lack" the female body represents. There are, as Mulvey explains, two ways a man can potentially escape castration anxiety. One is a voyeuristic route in which the man is concerned with re-enacting the "original trauma." Here the man is concerned with asc... ... middle of paper ... ...ican Fiction
Shelters all across the United States are filled with yapping, meowing, and barking animals. If these animals are not adopted in time to make room for more unwanted animals, they are euthanized. Animals are breeding quickly, causing fluctuation in the animal population. It is almost literally raining cats and dogs. An effective way to combat this problem is the spay and neuter the animals to ensure they do not reproduce. Spaying and neutering animals will decrease the animal population and prevent
Fritz Lang's Metropolis" written by Andreas Huyssen provided many helpful insights to aid in understanding the movie. Many of Huyssen's idea's are a bit extreme, but none the less the essay is very beneficial. His extreme views include ideas of castration and how it relates with the female robot, and sexulaity and how it relates technology. Although these ideas are extreme he does also provide many interesting ideas. One of the issues that was raised is the idea of the relationship between femininty

Should Chemical Castration be performed on Sex Offenders? Okay suppose your five-year-old daughter was brutally attacked and raped by a known sex offender, would you rather the offender to be sentenced to a few years in prison, only to get out and destroy another innocent victim’s life or have them chemically castrated?

Thousands of animals are put to sleep each year due to not having any available homes for them to be adopted. According to Jennifer Sexton and Tom Warhol in Domestic Animal Overpopulation, “The average female cat can produce two litters of six kittens per year, a female dog can produce one litter of six or more puppies per year, making pet overpopulation a significant problem.” Animal overpopulation is costing money and you can help the pets with spay and neutering programs. A new solution is mandatory
According to the human society of the United States, there are more than 6-8 million animals checked into shelters each year. Out of this 6-8 million, 3-4 million of these animals are euthanized due to the over population of animals. Animal euthanizing in shelters need to come to an end. Shelters are there to help people find their lost pets or give lost pets a new loving home, not to kill healthy animals that still have life left. A few ways to help end this is to make it a law to have animals spayed
Hearing loss for elderly animals is more common than we think. It can be very challenging to both the aging animal, and its owner. Just because your pet may be losing his hearing permanently, does not mean that he would not be able to continue his life as a full functioning animal in your household. According to the article, “Communication with Deaf Cats” by Joe Gordon, all animals have strong survival instincts, and deaf ones are no different. In order to communicate with your cat, you must first
Psychoanalysis, Cinema, and Symbolism In the article “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” Laura Mulvey discusses the relationships amongst psychoanalysis (primarily Freudian theory), cinema (as she observed it in the mid 1970s), and the symbolism of the female body. Taking some of her statements and ideas slightly out of their context, it is interesting to compare her thoughts to the continuum of oral-print-image cultures. A great deal of this interesting comparison is encouraged by the
Chemical Castration for Repeat Sex Offenders Child molestation and sexual assault is an ever growing problem in the United States today, but an even bigger problem is that these pedophiles are being released after only serving as little as one quarter of their sentence. In California alone (at the time the bill was first passed), there was an estimated 680 individuals on parole for molestation and other sexual assaults including sodomy by force with a victim under the age of thirteen as well
