Men

As well as women the media also explores men. Men are seen as good looking, abnormally strong, and sexy.  Often, men are involved in violent sites and fighting with other men.  This week we saw Tough Men, that documentary showed how men are seen in the media and how they are used to promote a product.  According to the documentary, men are more violent because of the media.  They are responsible for most of violent actions that happen in America and all the schools shootings.  That is because people around them are often pressured by this idea of masculinity and harm others either physically and/ verbally.  That causes others to react.  To prove their masculinity and set a point.  Bad things happen as a result such as school shootings.  However, in my opinion don’t think all of it is true.  Yes, it is true that men provoked other men and that causes bad situations.  But do they do that because of the media?  I don’t believe so.  I was never influenced in that way by the media.  I never acted in a violent way because movies or toys or whatever it was.  I sometimes acted with violence because of other people attitude towards me.  Now did they do that to prove something?  Their masculinity?  I’m not sure, but the media didn’t and doesn’t play a big role in those aspects.
