I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Sexual Taboo and Social Boundaries. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Among the prohibitions on masturbation, sex workers, expressions of sexuality in the young, and countless others, the criminalization of homosexuality in Britain, was implemented in the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 (Rubins, 1984). Hence, consensual or non-consensual sex acts were legally prosecuted in Britain until 1967 (Rubin, 1984). In the United States, a wider social movement began in the post-World War II late 1940s, in which the equating of homosexuality with Communism as a risk to the values of the country prompted what Rubin (1984) calls purges. But even before this the … first anti-obscenity law was passed in the United States in 1873 (Rubin, 1984). Police and other government agencies were relentless in the rooting out of such subversive (writer’s italics) elements. Homosexuality again, in the 1970s and early 1980s was the focus of attention. In this instance, though, not only the government agencies were involved. Queer-bashing has become a significant recreational activity for young urban males. (Rubins, 1984) – evidence of a wider societal rejection of homosexuals. What is it about a present society that has led to such responses toward particularly male homosexuality? &nbsp.Some clues are to be found in an examination of earlier human societies and civilizations. Davies (1982) argues that such taboos are the result of a society wishing to strengthen its identity by excluding groups such as homosexuals. She further proposes that such exclusion clarifies the boundaries between different status groups within religious or military organizations. Early Christian teaching – notably in the Old Testament Christian Bible book of Leviticus – is cited in this argument as evidence of the punitive and definitely exclusionary nature of such societies.
