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.
