courtship, mating, and love making Or, is sex learned and
shaped by our culture, context, and cohort Is the process of
becoming sexual encoded completely in our DNA, being purely
maturational, dependent on hormones and time Or, is it also
learned, through the perspective of our experiences and
gender In this class we explore the interactive role that
evolutionary, biological, psychological and cultural influences
play in the development and expression of sexuality in our
society. We will detail the maturational forces that begin the
process but we will also explore the spectrum of human
sexuality, and the influences contributing to our diversity. The
goal is to be able to assess the role of these influences in
shaping perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about our own and
other‘s sexual behaviours
This course is an elective for students in Humber degree
programs. It is designed to develop students‘ reading, writing,
and critical skills through understanding, discussing, and writing
about a variety of non-fiction essays drawn from different
academic disciplines and focused on the theme of individuals
and communities. Its main objectives are to develop students‘
critical skills and academic writing abilities by 1) encouraging
analytical depth in textual analysis and 2) developing students‘
breadth of understanding through a focus on the
interrelatedness of the texts studied. These skills will be
developed through lecture, class discussion, and a series of
written essay assignments that will increase in complexity and
evaluative weight as the term progresses. The principles of
clear writing and reasoned argumentation will be emphasized in
lectures and expected in all assignments. In the final essay and
final exam, students will be expected to present a cumulative
and synthetic understanding of all texts studied during the term.

Individual assignments and group projects will have two goals:
to build a critical awareness of the rhetoric of advertising; and to
put into practice the students‘ understanding of the industry as
