Empirical Research and Developmental Theory

/in /by

What does evidence-based research say about the development of sexual orientation in young and middle adulthood? Though the body of literature addressing sexual orientation, including heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality, is far from complete, the literature continues to grow. Your awareness of this literature helps inform your social work practice as you address the needs of clients with a variety of sexual orientations.

For this Assignment, conduct your own research to identify at least one journal article that addresses sexual orientation. Select an article that you find especially relevant to you in your role as a social worker.

Must only use textbook I have attached for quotations

Do not use any outside sources. Quotations should
include the author and page number of the source “and must be cited thusly” (Foner, 649).
Consider the six major disruptions to the status quo that we’ve explored in History 104 since
February:
World War I
the 1918 Spanish Flu
the Great Depression
World War II
the Vietnam War and the Turbulence of the 1960s
the Recession of the 1970s and 1980s

Select two or three of the six crises listed above and answer this question: To what degree did these crises lead to reforms that expanded the boundaries of freedom for Americans? Give specific factual examples.* In the final sentence of the essay, students may wish to speculate about whether the current coronavirus crisis–like crises past–will lead to outcomes which will contract or expand freedom.

*Students may wish to define which definition of freedom they are using–negative (absence of
obstacles) or positive (presence of ability to achieve goals). As for specific examples in history, here are
some possibilities that students may wish to consider: WWI led to alcohol Prohibition–did that expand or
contract freedom? The Spanish Flu crisis led to expanded public health interventions–did that expand or
contract freedom? The Great Depression led to New Deal reforms–did that expand or contract freedom?
WWII led to a civil rights movement–did that expand or contract freedom? The turbulence of the 1960s
led to a rights revolution–did that expand or contract freedom? The recession of the 1970s and 1980s led
to a triumph of conservatism–did that expand or contract freedom?
