Sample Solution
In “An End to Shame,” Reiss argues that America is ripe for another sexual revolution, one that will reduce our alarming rates of AIDS [Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome], teenage pregnancy, rape, and the sexual abuse of children—currently the highest in the Western World. Today’s society is a sexual playing field. Celebrities on television and movies, models on the covers of magazines, and even politicians have become sexual legends in the map of American society. The issue of sex is publicly discussed, on media and otherwise, and as such, it has become, to a great degree, a measure of self-worth. Issues such as breast size, penis size, and sexual stamina have flooded the American public with the idea that one is defined by how sexually appealing s/he is. As a result, it has become of monumental importance to the American male to remain sexually vigorous and virile.
