More Than Mere Consent: A Novel Theory of Sexual PermissionNorthey, Sydney January 2024 (has links)
Sexual consent is something that is receiving more widespread attention in the face of the #MeToo movement. However, sexual consent as the gold standard of sex is misguided and emphasized to the extent that all other relevant areas of consideration in terms of sex are all but eliminated. In this thesis, I begin by focusing on the flaws of sexual consent. I argue sexual consent is flawed in theory as it conforms to the masculinist tradition of philosophy, it oversimplifies sex, and it attempts to be objective in the face of sex. Further, there is a misguided attempt to fit sex into one-size-fits-all normative ethical approaches. I then argue that any sexual education surrounding consent is ineffective and overruled by the pervasive and poor representations of sex in mainstream media and mainstream pornography. I will then resolve these flaws by arguing for more emphasis placed upon non-mainstream theories of sex, namely theories put forward by Ann Cahill and Quill Kukla. I will then argue for the consent-forward approach to be replaced by a care-forward approach, following care ethics and Joan Tronto’s four qualities of care. Finally, I will argue for an improvement of sexual education and sexual normalization, by fixing sexual education and improving representations of sex in mainstream pornography and mainstream media. In doing so, I will formulate an approach to sex that is more conducive to good sex than the consent-forward model. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA) / The question of sexual consent has received a lot of attention as of late, with many expressing confusions surrounding the term. This confusion varies from questions about obtaining consent in an acceptable way to complaints about the seemingly ambiguous nature of the term. Recently, consent has been deemed the gold standard for participation in morally acceptable sex. I will argue that sexual consent is not as useful a tool as it is given credit for since it fails to consider morally relevant relationships, it oversimplifies and attempts to be objective, it is not properly learned or taught, and it focuses on a normative approach to consent—where sexual consent aims to be applicable to all scenarios, no matter the differences in said scenarios. I will argue throughout this thesis that sexual interactions should be more than merely permissible and rather should fall under the definition of good sex.

Volenti non fit iniuriaAnderson, Ian 02 October 2023 (has links) (PDF)
The topic of this dissertation is primarily concerned with evaluating the practical and jurisprudential merits of the modern principle of volenti non fit iniuria as it is applied in the context of the South African Delictual Law on patrimonial loss. Though a similar evaluation of the volenti doctrine in respect to the modern Actio Iniuriarum .falls outside the scope of this dissertation, reference will also be made to the Valenti defence in that context.

Uninformed Consent? The Effect of Participant Characteristics and Delivery Format on Informed ConsentRipley, Kyle R., Hance, Margaret A., Kerr, Stacey A., Brewer, Lauren E., Conlon, Kyle E. 03 October 2018 (has links)
Although many people choose to sign consent forms and participate in research, how many thoroughly read a consent form before signing it? Across 3 experiments using 348 undergraduate student participants, we examined whether personality characteristics as well as consent form content, format, and delivery method were related to thorough reading. Students repeatedly failed to read the consent forms, although small effects were found favoring electronic delivery methods and traditional format forms. Potential explanations are discussed and include participant apathy, participants trying to save time by not reading the consent form, and participant assumptions about consent forms.

A dangerous game : male adolescents' perceptions and attitudes towards sexual consent.Kann, Lisa 11 February 2009 (has links)
This study explored adolescent township boys’ attitudes and perceptions towards sexual
relationships. There has been substantial evidence in recent literature that violence
against women is a problem worldwide and a growing concern, especially in South
Africa (Human Rights Watch, 2001; Jewkes, Levin, Mbananga & Bradshaw, 2002;
Statistics South Africa, 2005; Stats SA Archive, 2002). In addition, it appears that South
African girls are more likely to be sexually assaulted by one, or more of their male
classmates (Haffejee, 2006; Human Rights Watch, 2001; Mirsky, 2003; Posel, 2005).
Moreover, adolescents’ attitudes regarding violence against girls have been found to help
perpetuate such violence (Lewis, 2000; Varga, 2003; Vogelman, 1990). On the basis of
the socialisation theory, it was postulated that the way in which a boy is socialised in his
home, school, peer group and society at large, impacts on his attitudes and perceptions of
rape and hence the incidence of sexual violence in South Africa (Vogelman, 1990). This
study therefore aimed to understand and investigate male adolescents’ perceptions and
attitudes towards gender stereotypes, sexual consent and rape supportive beliefs or myths,
in particular, focusing on what the construct of ‘rape’ is perceived to be. The subjective
world of adolescent township boys was explored within the qualitative paradigm.
In investigating the research aims, 11 adolescent boys, aged between 16 and 19 attending
one high school in Alexandra participated in the study. The research was conducted in
the form of both semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups of 3-5
participants. Various psychological, social and emotional themes relating to the theory of
socialisation were explored. The participants’ responses were recorded and then analysed
utilising content analysis. From the analysis one can infer that society has got a major
role to play in attitudes towards sexual assault and how it is dealt with. It was found that
the majority of the participants in this study have adopted some rape supportive beliefs
and ideas, and have been heavily encouraged to display, and hence do display some sexrole
stereotypes and hegemonic masculinity. This study therefore supports the notion
that socialisation factors play an important role in the development of stereotypical
notions of sex role behaviour in adolescent males, which may further contribute to the
incidence of rape.

Defining the Role of Mature Minors in the Medical Research Consent ProcessFrench, Isabelle M.A. 26 August 2011 (has links)
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of minors included in a broad range of medical research studies. To date, however, little attention appears to have been paid to how the role of minors in the consent process leading to participation in these studies should be defined.
This thesis reviews the legal and ethical instruments and principles that define the role of mature minors in the medical research consent process in Canada at present. The thesis goes on to recommend a framework that should be added to the Tri-Council Policy Statement whereby all minors undergo a capacity assessment using a validated instrument. According to this framework, the consent of those who are found to have decision-making capacity (i.e. are mature minors), unless precluded by law, shall be necessary and sufficient. There are few instances where the law prevents mature minors from consenting to their own participation.
