        The Article by Dilvin and Mustafa, is based around the "hidden side of migration" and this article dives into that theme being sexuality. The first point they make is that some places aren't exactly secure or safe for someone who fits outside the social norm. The study examines the sexuality and gender identity of these migrants leaving their home country to find a more welcoming and suitable home. The article then mentions something called the toxic triangle, which is a hostile environment, structures and cultures that hold away freedom to sexuality. This then leads to the vast migration of people who don't fit the norm, they risk getting put through imprisonment or even death.


        When referring to the Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center, I picked the more grim section, the child abuse death review section(CADRS). This program is centered around on recording the deaths of abused children, turning their tragedies into a hotline system to hopefully prevent further deaths. The purpose of this program is to develop a community based approach to address child abuse and to hopefully reduce the future deaths from child abuse.

        When I first approached the website and saw the option to look at the CADRS, I was a bit surprised that they would actually mention that children die from abuse and neglect, but I understand why it is there, just a bit sad these things happen.


        When I picked an article to look over to learn a bit more about Panama City's diverse history, I chose the one based on Sexual Orientation. When I first read the line "My office is the gayest place on campus..." I cringed a little on the inside. Personally I believe the concept of "gayness" is a harmful social construct, however, I can't really say much. The article mentioned on multiple queer studies such as a book called "Men Like That" which was a report made in Mississippi in 1999. The Article further mentions that there is more to study about "Queer History" such as other studies such as the Lesbian Study done back in 1950.

  SOCILOGICAL STUDY: The Marriage Paradox The Authors:   W. Bradford Wilcox ,  Alan J. Hawkins Weblink to the article:   https://doi.org/10.1002/pam.22637 Theory: The Marriage Paradox is a theory that is based on the increasing rate of divorces in the last six decades. The reason they found this is for a varying plethora of reasons, but the main one was the fact that the values and virtues that once upheld a long and loving marriage, one of these values being monogamy. The study then goes on to say that for men, women, and children that are in a marriage are said to be happier, healthier and financially more secure. However in more recent years the cultural demographic for marriage has been downplayed even though they have been proven to be true through study (for what we are to believe from the outside). Thus came the "Marriage Paradox", where marriage is viable, however it isn't exactly given credit where it is due. The Research Methodology: The study's Research s...

However, that question can mean a lot more than you think , mentioning what kind of pets you have could reveal more than you intend to . For example owners with cats and dogs have better physical health than non owners or owners of a whole other type of pet , fewer also visit the doctor more often than non owners , and tend to be less lonely .
