This week in sociology we learned about masculinity and how men are viewed. In t.v shows and movies, men are portrayed as the really tough guys and that leads to men's behavior in real life. Even in real life, men have the attitude to act tough and have all the power. Two weeks ago, we were shown how girls act and what they do when they are little. Little girls have their Barbie dolls and their makeover house/kit. They treat them so gently and lovely as a daily routine life. Now, boys on the other hand play with these action figure type guys and beat down on them with other action figures. They like to rough-house with these action figures. These action figures are displayed as very muscular and tough looking. Theses action figures have a role on how young boys play with them and that leads on to them later in life. This is a huge contributor to how boys and men act in their daily lives showing competitiveness, toughness, and coolness. They think they have all the power and this truly leads to violence. In my opinion, this all started because of a three dollar muscular looking action figure. Look at what this had lead to for masculinity in our society.
