References in correct APA, 6th edition style General Instructions Select one of the topics listed below and develop a paper that analyzes issues of human sexuality from multidisciplinary perspectives. Apply concepts from three distinctly different disciplines of human study to analyze the particular phenomenon (see listing below, one from each column). Incorporate theoretical frameworks, theoretical constructs and other explanations that have been used by these disciplines to create a perspective that will provide a possible explanation for the issue. This should be the way the discipline approaches the topic, it should not be a listing of findings. For example do not give a historic account of the topic but rather how historians synthesize the historical significance of the phenomenon.
