In this assignment, you will explore the role that health and medicine play within your own family, and by extension, your cultural norms.
Discuss the following:

  • What role does medicine play in your family and for you as an individual?
  • What steps do you take to treat yourself when you are sick?
  • What do you do for a cold or for a headache?
  • If you take medicine, do you know what is in the medicine you take?
  • How do you feel about the nature of your culture’s healthcare overall?
  • Consider the theoretical approaches to understanding health. Which of these theoretical approaches do you think your responses would fall under?

Part 1
Sexuality is essential to the way one conceives oneself. It may depend on one’s experiences and considerations that often fluctuate throughout his or her lifespan. It gets impacted by different biopsychosocial, economic, cultural, religious, and spiritual factors.
The textbook states that with the passing time, the emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of sexual desire and expression become fairly stable in both genders. The Western views have equalized aging with dying, so most of the people probably have a confined view of aged adults as sexually active individuals. Unfortunately, our healthcare providers are also not exempted from these stereotypical attitudes.
Using the Internet, conduct a research on sexuality in men and women. Based on your research, answer the following questions:

  • Regardless of sexual orientation, how are men and women similar and different in terms of their attitudes toward sex and love?
  • Describe Sternberg’s Triangular theory of Love. Can you compare a relationship you have experienced to Sternberg’s theory?
  • How does a social cultural message add to the stereotypes toward sexuality in aging population?
  • Are there changes in the sexual behavior of the aged population?
  • Describe the changes in sexuality from puberty through late adulthood. Describe how a person’s definition and experience of sexuality and intimacy often fluctuates throughout his or her lifespan. What are some of the influences as it relates to “changes in sexuality from puberty to late adulthood”?

You may use the following article for your research:

Part 2
Buss, Larsen, Westen, & Semmelroth (1992) studied the differences between the sexes as it related to feelings of jealousy and found that that neither sex was more jealous than the other. However, women get more distressed when they feel emotional infidelity and men get more upset with sexual infidelity.

  • Do you agree or disagree? Why?
  • What is jealousy and what are the different types of jealousies?
  • What are the psychological dimensions of jealousy? Is jealousy always irrational? Can jealousy be based on fears?
  • How does jealousy hurt or help a relationship? How should you effectively deal with jealousy? What suggestions might you offer a friend to assist with managing one’s jealousy?
  • Your textbook presents two theoretical ideas about love that you may use when evaluating relationships. The sociologist, John Lee, describes six styles of love. What are these styles? Are there differences between the styles of women and men? How?

Theories on Love
One’s interpretation and understanding of sexuality generally vacillate during his or her lifespan. These experiences are affected by diverse factors that include biopsychosocial, economic, cultural, religious, and spiritual factors. Various theories have come into play and have helped in understanding the concept of love, intimacy, and commitment.
Using the Internet, research about the concept of love, intimacy, and commitment. Based on your research, complete the following tasks:

  • Provide your understanding of love, commitment, and intimacy.
  • Describe Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love.
  • Describe the eight basic ways in which intimacy, passion, and commitment combine.
  • Describe the geometry of love. Assess the validity that you think these above-mentioned theories hold.
  • Explain the different types of love. Sit with your partner, examine Sternberg’s triangle and chalk out your own triangle. Ask your partner to do the same. Now, analyze thoroughly and look how they match or did not match. Compare the balance of your relationship with the readings provided in the textbook (if you are not in a relationship currently, you may use a previous relationship).
