Gender
A person’s sex, as determined by his or her biology, does not always correspond with their gender; therefore, the terms
“sex” and “gender” are not interchangeable.
“Gender” is a term that refers to social or cultural distinctions associated with being male, female, or intersex.
Sexuality
“Human sexuality” refers to people’s sexual interest in and attraction to others, as well as their capacity to have erotic
experiences and responses. People’s sexual orientation is their emotional and sexual attraction to particular sexes or
genders, which often shapes their sexuality.
Sexuality may be experienced and expressed in a variety of ways, including thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes,
values, behaviors, practices, roles, and relationships.
These may manifest themselves in biological, physical, emotional, social, or spiritual aspects.
The biological and physical aspects of sexuality largely concern the human reproductive functions, including the human
sexual-response cycle and the basic biological drive that exists in all species.
Emotional aspects of sexuality include bonds between individuals that are expressed through profound feelings or
physical manifestations of love, trust, and care.
Social aspects deal with the effects of human society on one’s sexuality
Spirituality concerns an individual’s spiritual connection with others through sexuality.
Sexuality also impacts and is impacted by cultural, political, legal, philosophical, moral, ethical, and religious aspects of
life.
CHAPTER 10: MANAGING STRESS
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you sense danger—whether it’s real or
imagined—the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the ―fight-or-flight‖ reaction
or the ―stress response.
The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and
alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life— giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or
spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid a car accident.
Stress can also help you rise to meet challenges. It’s what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens
your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d
rather be watching TV.
