Sexuality and Society
Professor Angel Why is it so hard for society to discuss and acknowledge sex practices of the elderly? Society for some reason prefers to avoid the idea that the elderly are sexually active. This belief is quite peculiar because they are human beings like everyone else with sexual drives. The elderly just like the rest of society want to feel that closeness and compassion everyone experiences through sex. Instead of ignoring the fact that they are sexually active we should accept it and understand that one’s sex drive doesn’t fade with age. Sometimes it seems as if we see the elderly as “older” children by downplaying their sexual needs and desires.

I think the author has this opinion…

Revised DBQ The causes of the peasant revolts in the German states were religious conflicts such as the misinterpretations of Luther's teachings and social issues, such as their mistreatment by nobles under serfdom.
