B. ESSAY (5 points each)

11. Discuss what comprises Body Image, what does it include?

 Body image is a person's impression of their own body's beauty or sexual appeal based
on their thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. Body image is a word used in a variety of
fields, including psychology, medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, philosophy, cultural
and feminist studies, and the media. There is no single agreed-upon definition across
these disciplines, but body image broadly refers to how people perceive themselves,
including their memories, experiences, assumptions, and comparisons about their own
appearances, as well as their overall attitudes toward their own heights, shapes, and
weights, which are influenced by social and cultural ideals. These factors include family
 environment, ability or disability, the attitudes of peers, social media, cultural
background and more. Individuals who are underweight or overweight may have a
negative perception of themselves. Those who are normal or overweight on the BMI
scale, on the other hand, are more likely to have a negative body image if they are
frequently taught and shown the cosmetic attraction of weight loss and warned about the
consequences of obesity. If women have internalized the thin ideal, we expected them to
feel worse about their bodies after seeing ultra-thin models, compared to no models,
mirroring earlier findings.

12. What does it mean when we say, “We are social beings”?
 Humans are social beings with mirror neurons that allow us to instinctively and instantly
match each other's emotions. We share our feelings with one another. If we're in
connection or agreement with anyone, we predict and mirror each other's movements,
since we're both on the same league. This social behavior is a critical part of our adaptive
toolkit. It allows us to come together and do things that we wouldn’t be able to do on our
own. We’re only just beginning to uncover how these mechanisms may operate in real
world activities, and the findings are really exciting.

13. What does Intolerance of body diversity got to do with prejudice of size and shape?
 Discrimination of size and shape in our culture has a lot to do with intolerance of bodily
diversity. Being slim, toned, and strong has become synonymous with being
hardworking, wealthy, famous, attractive, muscular, and disciplined. Being overweight is
connected with being sluggish, ugly, low, and weak-willed.

14. How can we build a strong and positive body image?

 Positive body image is vital to maintain in today's society, not only for a person's
physical well-being, but also because it can influence a person's emotional condition and
well-being. Women, in particular, are more concerned with maintaining and gaining a
"body" that is acceptable in society. On a daily basis, women face social injustice
regarding their bodies and what their ideal body should be. The proportions and weight
targets for such a "perfect" figure can be nearly hard to achieve. The media portrays ideal
body proportions, weight, and characteristics. Nowadays, Confidence is crucial in our
life to help us get through difficult times. The same is true of self-esteem. Everyone
should be proud of themselves and feel good about themselves. It is thought that feeling
good about yourself has an impact on your mental health, which in turn influences how
you behave. In terms of body image, we humans, particularly those in their early
adolescence, are extremely concerned with their physical looks. It all boils down to
whether or not we appear attractive enough for others to find us appealing. All of these
are common occurrences that cannot be avoided in one's life.

6. Discuss the 4 phases of human sexual response cycle. (10

points)
  The sexual response cycle describes the physical and emotional changes that occur when
a person is sexually aroused and engages in sexually stimulating activities such as
intercourse and masturbation. Understanding how your body reacts during each phase of
the cycle might help you improve your relationship and pinpoint the source of any sexual
issues. The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and
resolution. Both men and women experience these phases, although the timing usually is
different. For example, it is unlikely that both partners will reach orgasm at the same
time. In addition, the intensity of the response and the time spent in each phase varies
from person to person. Understanding these differences may help partners better
understand one another's bodies and responses, and enhance the sexual experience.
Excitement general characteristics of the excitement phase, which can last from a few
minutes to several hours, include the following: Muscle tension increases and Heart rate
quickens and breathing is accelerated. Plateau general characteristics of the plateau
phase, which extends to the brink of orgasm, include the following: The changes begun
in phase 1 are intensified and the vagina continues to swell from increased blood flow,
and the vaginal walls turn a dark purple. The orgasm is the climax of the sexual response
cycle. It is the shortest of the phases and generally lasts only a few seconds. General
characteristics of this phase include the following: Involuntary muscle contractions begin
and Blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing are at their highest rates, with a rapid intake
of oxygen. The phase is the Resolution
During resolution, the body slowly returns to its normal level of functioning, and swelled
and erect body parts return to their previous size and color. This phase is marked by a
general sense of well-being, enhanced intimacy and, often, fatigue. Some women are
capable of a rapid return to the orgasm phase with further sexual stimulation and may
experience multiple orgasms. Men need recovery time after orgasm, called a refractory
period, during which they cannot reach orgasm again. The duration of the refractory
period varies among men and usually lengthens with advancing age.

ESSAY (5 points) What does the editorial cartoon mean?

 -Computer-mediated communication is centered on the Internet. It is a global network

that connects millions of computer networks, allowing teens to access a vast amount of
information. Despite significant differences in use between countries and socioeconomic
classes, young people all throughout the world are rapidly accessing the Internet. The
amount to which young people have access to resources that encourage their
development is a major cause of concern for their health. This is tied to early worries
about how children and teenagers use the Internet, which has been linked to harmful
consequences. Kids' exposure to inappropriate content was also a source of concern.
Pornography in its different forms, whose development and mainstreaming has
apparently influenced young culture and adolescent development in unprecedented and
diverse ways, is one key growing worrying facet in internet. As a result, the deliberate or
inadvertent reading of pornographic items on the internet has increased. Although there
is no empirical data on the impact of Internet pornography on the lives of the teeming
young and children.
