Welcome back! I am composing my blog #14. I am exited for that I have starting my research project. Before start my research I had no confident. I had fear how I start my research project. When I am join with FRANCIS BRACEWELL and FLORENCE EBUN as a group I felt confident. because I knew team work much more better and efficient than individual. Individually we chose different research question while we decide to make group we argue each other for research question finally we made decision to work the question How can American parents redefine masculinity for their sons? and we chose out research topic Masculinity Impact on American Boys for a Positive Society. My last blog post(#13) was about our research introduction and thesis statement.
I believe group work is the best technique of learning. I am learning lots of thing with group. I hope I will excellent done my research with group. I am grateful to Sabatino without him nothing possible to do. We interact friendly with each other and spent more hours together to completed our first draft. In first draft we talked, how Parental Attention and Care play important role for their boys lives. The need for parental attention and care is one of the two factorsfor redefining masculinity. Giving listening ears or building friendly environment would definitely encourage the boys to open up whenever they are going through any challenges. Parents need to speak to the boys about masculinity rather than give a negative impression. We shared individually our prior knowledge, skills and experience to made our research.

Welcome back! This blog will give an insight of our group research writing project for ENG100 class. In the blog I am writing how masculinity impact on American boys. Me and with two authors FRANCIS BRACEWELL and FLORENCE EBUN made our research writing group. With the aid of our professor, we'll do our best. I am going to post what we've written so far (Introduction Page) and more to be published soon.
The Mask You Live In is a documentary produced and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom that explores the negativities of masculinity with in the American culture. Newsom’s inspiration for the documentary originated from her getting pregnant with her son. She was quoted during an interview when she said, “It was really important to me that I could nurture a son who could be true to his authentic self, who wouldn’t always feel like he had to prove his masculinity. There’s so much loneliness, pain, and suffering when one is pretending to be someone that they’re not.” We imagine the mixed view this documentary had. Some saw it as gender bias against men and some saw it as the wrong view of masculinity by female. This research paper will traverse masculinity and redefine masculinity as it relates to how American parents raise their sons. Newsom argues that we’ve constructed an idea of masculinity in the United States that doesn’t give young boys a way to feel secure in their masculinity, so we make them go prove it at all time. According to Dr. Caroline, masculinity is not organic, it’s reactive. It’s not something that just develops. It’s a rejection of everything that feminine. We believe that documentary definitions toward boys and their parents are harmful to society and has the propensity to initial violent among boys, we differ with the film on those issues. Parental attention and care, moral orientation as well as redefining masculinity awareness will positively impact the lives of boys in America. Let me start by first given an historical over view of masculinity to give the basic to my argument. ENG 100 Welcome back! In this blog I'm visually representing two documentary movie theme Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. These I have watched for getting research idea. In my last blog I have discussed inside the theme of these movie. After that our Thursday (04-04-19) Dr. Sabatino ask our to make poster and annotation for these movie. Below sliding images showing our works. We made photo gallery inside our classroom. The class was amazing we took picture our made gallery's, also discussed about how poster representing these movie inside. It was qualitative learning session. Below I shared my made poster. Welcome back! This is blog post #10 and #11. To composing this blog I have to watch these films Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. Also I got idea what is theme of the films from these Miss Representation Discussion Guide, Miss Representation Script and The Mask You Live In Discussion Guide. After that I have to interpret by considering these questions: How does the argument in the film make you feel (impact on your being)? How does the argument in the film make you think (impact on your knowing)? How does the argument in the film make you want to make change (impact on your doing)?
Miss Representation First I like to share the theme of the film. The film themes was, the battle for women’s rights has been waging for centuries. Why is 21st century America not closer to equality? The media, a lack of role models, and women themselves are some of the factors keeping progress at bay. The media is the message and the messenger and, increasingly, a powerful one. --Mitchell “You can’t be what you can’t see.” Initially, I felt uncomfortable for way of representing american women by media. The media shows them down, making big distance between man and women. A women said, media delivering content that is shaping our society, shaping our politics, shaping our national discourse and most of all, they're shaping our children's brains and lives and emotions. Girls get the message from very early on that what's most important is how they look, that their value, their worth, depends on that. And boys get the message that this is what's important about girls. We get it from advertising, from films, from television shows, video games, everywhere we look. So, no matter what else a woman does, now matter what else her achievements, their value still depends on how they look. There is no appreciation for women intellectuals. It's all about the body, not about the brain. In the film most of the time has shared some successful women and their point of view. My knowing, media doing miss representation about their being, their ability, position, achievements and intellectuals etc. By the media's miss representation their going down also difficulties of equality. I have an argument for their indication, they're indicated women importance depends on their body or look also indicated sexual behaviors but I disagree with their statements because man has interest to women by naturally since the creation of the world. They think their existence behind the man. I think they're existence with man. The Mask You Live In First I like to share the theme of the film. The film themes was, what makes an innocent young boy turn into a violent, angry, emotionally troubled man? A barrage of stereotypes and aggressive masculine typecasting is damaging not only men, but society at large. "Be a Man is one of the most destructive phrases in this culture." In my being, during I'm watching the film made me think about our world. Also I had go back to childhood. My parents treat me 'masculine' in childhood. You are boy, you hove to go this way. You can play football, you can ride cycle, lav, lav lav. You are girl, you can't. In my knowing, By this films I have learned something different way. How parent's guide to their child perspective of their gender; e.g. do you want to be a flying monkey mama's boy snitch? or do you want to be a man? Now being a mama's girl or daddy's little girl, that's wonderful. Another one: A boy crying but mamma says football players don't cry. In my doing, when I will go parenthood, I will teach my child or others by considering these problems. I will give priority, what they want. |
