In a single topic-driven,
well-developed paragraph, clearly identify each author’s thesis and where the
three articles “triangulate”—where they form a general consensus. In other
words, where do they all AGREE? Be specific. Use examples from each text in
your summary—textual evidence (summary, paraphrase, and quote).

In the article, 'Why Women Are Leaving Men for Other Women' is about a female that is married to her husband but she ends up leaving him for another woman. "Cynthia Nixon did it. Lindsay Lohan's doing it. TV shows are based on it. Is it our imaginations, or are wives and girlfriends ditching their men and falling in love with other women? New science says that sexuality is more fluid than we thought". From this quote it is clear that females are falling in love with same sex because they feel more comfortable about it. This makes homosexuality more fluid in today's society. In the article, 'The Deadly Deception of Sexual Atheism in the Church' is about female Christians that are trying to live two different types of life styles. "Usually this gender scenario is reversed, but the sex, love and dating landscape continues to move in a progressively liberal direction among Christians without any solid indicators that it will change anytime soon. Both genders today, across all ages and Christian demographics, are prone to compartmentalize their faith away from their sexual life". This quote is talking about Christians being unaware of the fact that they are slowly drifting away from there belief. All of the articles all come together because they both have similar opinions when it comes unto homosexuality.
ReplyDeleteIn the three articles each writer presents that sex is very rampant in our culture and that idea is presented in many different ways. The first article, “Why Married Women are Leaving Men for Other Women”, written by Mary Fischer explains that married women are more sexually aroused by certain situations or environments towards women than men are towards other men. This makes women more prone to become “sexually active” with other women. She argues that women are drawn to masculine qualities that they find in a woman. The second article “(Almost) Everyone’s Doing It” written by Tyler Charles talks about the importance (and hardship) of abstinence and how the church needs to work better with those struggling. Charles brings up the main point and shocking statistic of how, “eighty percent of young, unmarried Christians have had sex.” Obviously that is a problem and with the church looking at sex as “bad” and not being able to talk about it openly it has almost condemned it when rather the idea of marriage and sex needs to be talked up. Charles also explains the average age for first marriages has been going up and explains this by saying, “in 2010, the average age was 28.1 for men and 26.1 for women.” Which means thats almost 30 years for men and women to go and have to control hormones that are raging and with culture throwing sex at people all time it makes it difficult to remain pure. However he explains how the wait is worth it and that nothing compares to the your first wedding night. The third article, “The Deadly Deception of Sexual Atheism in the Church” written by Kenny Luck explains the idea of a “Sexual Atheist” which he explains as someone who believes God is sovereign and all powerful but will not and can’t be apart of their sexual living. Luck calls this the “ultimate oxymoron” because it doesn't make any sense to believe in God and then think that you can just go around doing anything you want sexually and not see any consequences from God about it. All of these articles focus on the sexual activity of this generation and how sex has almost lost its meaning and purpose in God and now it has been thrown around in very loose ways. The sacredness of sex is gone.
ReplyDeleteThe three authors Mary A Fischer, Tyler Charles and Kenny Luck all write in their articles about the changes in the society to accept sexuality more and more. Fischer describes the people who started being “straight” and who are later gaining experiences in homosexuality. These people “are attracted to the person, and not the gender”. Charles shows statistics about how many people are having sex, before marriage and with which age it starts. He concludes, that even “people who call themselves Christians” are not able to resist the “media’s marketing of sex, the cultural endorsement of the ‘do what feels good’ mentality, [and] the prevalence of pornography”. Luck states that the people who follow Christianity are truly “Sexual Atheists”. Especially in sexual behavior, these people forget the will of God and the bible. These three articles combine that they are dealing with sexuality in the society nowadays. All three texts are showing, that it is easy for the people to get affected by sexuality. As a result, the sexuality is “fluid” (Fischer).
ReplyDeleteThe three articles are all about how sex is becoming more and more accepted in different situations. It is more common for women to be attracted to other women. These articles show that it is easier and easier for people to be affected by sexual temptation and act on it. This makes sexuality more fluid,
ReplyDeleteIn these three article the main idea all of the authors are getting across is the idea sexuality in todays world. In the first article, Fischer talks about people who later in life experience homosexuality. She says that the people do not care about gender but instead about the person. Charles in his article tells us of how many proclaimed Christian people are having sex before marriage. Luck then explains that "Sexual Atheists" are basically anyone who follows the word of God. These articles lead to the conclusion that sexuality is fluid.
ReplyDeleteThe three authors all write there articles about the changes in society to accept more. Charles shows stats about how many people go on to have pre-marital sex and with which age it starts.People who claim to be Christians often times are not able to resist the medias marketing of sec. Todays society endorses a do whatever feels good/ right mentality. Fishscher delves into people who started being "straight" and who are later gaining experiences in homosexuality. These people are attracted to the person rather than the gender.Luck then explains that Sexual Atheists are anyone who follows the word of God. The three articles all come to the conclusion that sexuality is fluid.
ReplyDeleteIn the three articles we read, all share a common ground in what they believe is the allowed standards in todays society. Fischer writes on the topic of straights becoming homosexuals. Charles writes on the topic of pre-marital sex and, Luck writes of how christians are "sexual atheist" in sexual content and to the ones that follow the word of God. All three of these articles so how sexuality is playing a roll in todays society and the effects that it brings to not only christians but all people.
ReplyDeleteThe three articles "Why Married Women are Leaving Men for Other Women" which is about a married women who leaves her husband for another lover who is a female, "(Almost) Everyone is Doing it" which is about peer pressure and venerability for modern day Christian Virgins, and "The Deadly Deception of Sexual Atheism in the Church" which is about modern day Christians questioning the rule of sex before marriage. The one point that all of these articles have in common with is the peer pressure into sex and the sex itself before finding your true love. All of these articles counter each other in different ways, but come in the end agreeing with each other about being strong for your sexuality and virginity or gay virginity. Also not giving into peer pressure. These articles claim to be the difference and live the way these people need to live the way they know is the right way. Nobody needs to pressure or control your sexual life.
ReplyDeleteThe three articles read all have a similar topic about how people are becoming more and more attracted to the same sex. "Why women are leaving their husbands for other Men" is about how it is becoming more acceptable and practiced to be with someone of the same sex. And people are being judged less now because of it which makes people do it more. Fischer talks about hoe they become homosexuals and why. And finally Luck talks on "sexual atheist" in other words people who steer away from having sex in general.
ReplyDeleteIn the three articles the all have a topic that are similar to each other. Charles talks about how many people have pre marital sex and what age it normally starts at. People these days do things based on the concept that if it feels good then do it. The there articles talk about the peer pressure into sex and sex itself before you find your true love. Luck talks about how sexual atheist are people who avoid sex all the time.
ReplyDeleteAll three articles share the consensus that society today is obsessed with sex no matter the race, gender, age, or martial status. In “Why Women Are Leaving Men for Other Women” author Mary Fischer describes the story of how a woman who was divorced from her husband began dating a woman. She said “I was still inscribed a heterosexual framework that said only a man could provide for my kids and be part of a family”, but soon she began dating a female coworker and “they became lovers”. In the article “The Deadly Deception of Sexual Atheism in the Church” author Kenny Luck talks about Christians not waiting until marriage for sex. In a recent study by Christianmingle.com, sixty-three percent of Christian singles said that they would have sex before marriage. Christians themselves can not resist the marketing of sex that is all around the world we live in. Christians really are “sexual atheists” in which they believe God has nothing to say to them on the matter of sexual impurity. In the article “(Almost) Everyone’s Doing It” author Tyler Charles talks about abstinence in the church and how it should be addressed more. He points out a statistic that states 88 percent of young unmarried Christians are having sex. Sex between two people is suppose to be the most sacred and intimate act, and now it is casually thrown around as if it is no big deal. The article states “Holiness, in its fullness, means living a life centered in our sexuality in the love of God… It means living out our sexuality in the love of God- instead of [through] sexual feelings.” All articles are addressing society revolves around sex and that sexuality is fluid.
ReplyDeleteThe authors from the three articles that we read share their own views and ideas on sex and sexuality in today's generation. Their views and beliefs on what is "right" is where triangulation takes part. Tyler Charles expresses his feelings about pre-marital sex as where Mary Fischer's topic is on heterosexuals becoming homosexuals. Lastly Kenny Luck who speaks on Christians and their beliefs on sex.
ReplyDeleteThe three article all speak on the issue of how our society has become so immersed in sexual immorality that it doesn’t matter how they get it; they just want it. Women are leaving men and marrying other women because they will get more of what they want in a relationship. Sexuality has become a self identification matter that gives people the chance to try anything and find out what they want. Even Christians have become so numb to sexual immorality that they think God has nothing to do with their sexual actions.
ReplyDeleteIn each of the three articles the authors present a problem that is running rampant in our world, and that is sexual sin. Kenny Luck calls it for us Christians “sexual atheism”. Even Christians in today’s times are having premarital sex. It’s like we want God to be part of our everyday life except for that part. We want him to stay out of our way when it comes to sex. It’s not so much even just teenagers now. Kenny Luck says “these are adults who populate our weekend services.” These people that are falling into this sin are your typical Christian and that’s what is so scary. We seem not to care what God has to say about our sexual sins anymore just whatever feels good is now fine with us.
