Document Summary

In the form of a short essay (introduction, 3 premises/sub-arguments, conclusion) take an argumentative stance regarding the following statement: In western cultures, attitudes, beliefs, and treatments of sexuality (or ideas related to sexuality, like sex and gender) conform to a teleological narrative of progress: as time passes, north american cultures become more sexually liberal, progressive, and/or liberating. Teleological = belief that everything has a special purpose or use. So a teleological narrative is = a story or description of events in which this belief is the directing motive. You may agree, disagree, or take a balanced perspective (i. e. i both agree and disagree with this statement because ) in relation to this statement. You must support your argument using premises or sub-arguments. Please see document on owl for full instructions, but i want to highlight: You need 3 premises (sub-arguments) that draw upon a course reading in a substantial way.
