Summary Of ' The ' I Am A Man '
1 On the eve of my twelfth birthday, my father sat me down to have a talk– He says, "Mary Amelia;" his using my full name and not what everyone
usually calls me had me paying attention right away. "You're my only daughter and you're about to become a young woman. I don't know much about
what I, as a father, should tell you; however, with your momma gone, I feel it is my responsibility to say something in the way of trying to prepare you
for womanhood... After hesitating a moment, Papa says, "Now, I don't know anything about all that woman stuff; that is something you will have to
talk to Becky, Aunt Georgiana, or Jenny about– I didn't tell him, but that woman stuff happened well before our talk that day, and when it did, it
scared the dickens out of me! Getting back to Papa's conversation, he says, "I'm a man; therefore, I know about the man stuff. There is something I
want you to know and the only way I know how to tell you is to say it is straight out. There is no delicate way to say this; men are vulgar creatures,
Molly. They're perversive rogues that only want one thing – to lay you down, spread your thighs and have their way with you. Don't let your head be
turned by just any boy you pass on the street. Even here in Butler County!" If I thought the woman thing scared me– what Papa said really scared me–
As soon as he finished with me, I went straight to Becky's cabin, told her what Papa had told me, and asked her what he meant. It's funny how that

Live And Die Like A Man Summary
Farha Ghannam's book, Live and Die Like a Man: Gender Dynamics in Urban Egypt, studies manhood in modern Eqypt. Ghannam takes this already
under analyzed concept a step further by exploring gender relations in the Middle East and pointing out how men and women are concurrently involved
in maintaining the norms of masculinity.
This book is important because in the past, the study of gender in the Middle East has been approached by focusing on women, rather than men. While
this work has been key in helping to dismantle stereotypes of women in the Middle East, it has also had the unfortunate consequence of showing
hegemonic masculinity as unproblematic. Being male becomes the norm against which the female other is assessed. This approach ignores the ways in
which gender is mutually constructed. Both masculinity and femininity are shaped through the structures of patriarchy.
Ghannam...show more content...
Masculinity is an ongoing process that begins with birth and continues until death. It is shaped through responses to the adversities of life such as
unemployment, marginalization, police brutality, marriage, fatherhood, and death. Women are particularly important in the dialectical cultural
processes through which a man creates his masculinity. She uses the example of Mushen to elaborate on this relationship. In Middle Eastern culture, "a
husband's ability to assert his domination and the wife's acceptance of (or at least appearing to accept) this domination significantly reflect on a man's
standing" (Ghannam, 95). Mushen is exemplary in asserting his dominance

Is Man Naturally Good Or Evil?
The question of whether man is inherently good or evil has vexed humanity since its appearance. Is man naturally good? Does he live in a state of the
noble savage? Or was his natural habitat ,nasty , brutish and short? These questions are important because they help inform the way in which we treat
our fellow human beings and structure of society. If man is in fact naturally bad then there is little to be gained in trying to make bad people better.
Similarly, if we think that people are naturally good, then one would tend to look at factors outside the control of the person to help explain egregious
behaviour. Our view of human nature often informs our view of social justice. Those who believe people are born stupid will be less willing to...show

Additionally the need for survival is stronger than empathy or sympathy which is why he believed that civilisation was needed to ensure that people
did not misbehave.
Despite the focus on whether man is good or evil I think that perhaps this is not the correct question. Does not everyone have good and evil in them?
Are we not good and evil? Does pure evil exist? Does pure good exist? Was hitler entirely evil? Should we not try to understand what makes people
bad?
Man is neither born good or evil but is heavily influenced by the people surrounding them and the influence of society. If anything man is
inherently good and evil. Even in the most extreme circumstances people have exhibited both compassionate and heinous behaviour. In the
holocaust people carried out egregious acts of depravity and what can only be classed as evilness. However people also undertook acts of compassion,
kindness and great bravery in order to save people from the holocaust, for example Oscar Schindler. If we really are evil, why do people carry out acts
of kindness with no care for personal gain? Whilst we are sometimes driven by selfish desires we also have a sense of compassion and morality.
What is good and evil? It is sometimes difficult to tell.The environment in which a person is brought up can alter his view on what is acceptable and

The Seventh Man Summary
Should the narrator of "The Seventh Man' forgive himself for his failure of saving K? What I think the narrator should do is forgive himself. So
many people might think he shouldn't because he lost this person.. But sometimes that happens everyday and people can't help it. But anyways,
why I think he should forgive himself for this terrible thing is because it is not his fault. No one should blame themselves for that the earth has
done to a human being. So these are the two reasons why I think he should forgive himself. Okay, in the first paragraph I said that he should forgive
himself and I have a lot of reasons but i have put them down to two good reasons why he should forgive himself. This first reason is you cannot
control the weather and how everything happens. The earth is a planet with things that happen for a reason. Such as what happen with the waves
taking K with it and he would was never seen again. Waves in oceans and lakes are dangerous. No one can track what will happen with waves
unless the wind is very strong and you can see the waves going crazy. I had one of those things happen to me once the wave was too strong but I got
out of it. Time will tell when everything happens and nature takes time too. Now on to my next reason why he should not feel bad about it....show more

Men's Health Magazine Analysis Essay
The target audience for "Men's Health" magazine has always been perceived as the stereotypical man's man. The weight lifter, the health nut, or perhaps
just the thirty to forty–five–year–old father of two attempting to fight back the hands of time and look younger just a little bit longer. This is no longer
the case as the social climate has begun to change over the last few years however, the magazine is beginning to recognize that it's readership is
made up of a much more diverse and not so cookie cutter audience. A very specific example of that can be found inside the June, 2017 issue of
"Men's Health" magazine displayed in a two–full page advertisement for a website geared towards the sexual health of gay men. Specifically, the...show

The website for this advertisement is a site geared towards the various aspects of sexual health associated with a relationship of any type. Proper
types of protection for yourself and your partner are referenced as well as ice breakers to discuss various topics that would be difficult to address
early on in any sexually active relationship. The most impressive message associated with them is the message at the bottom that reads "and talk to a
healthcare provider". It seems only a normal evolution that as social acceptance surrounding couples of every makeup would lead to a more open
and honest discussion about their sexual interactions and how to stay healthy and active at the same time. We have been observing messages of this
type since high school for the last 30 years, but only geared towards the more conventional ideas about sex and relationships. It is reasonable to
assume that the target audience for this message is the gay community. The individual models do not appear any different than any other person you
might encounter in the street or the subway or the local supermarket. The scenes are depicted so normally to send a very important message about how
normal a concept it should be to seek medical advice concerning your health whether you are gay or straight. The body posture and poses are very

the narrator of the story, "The Seventh Man" had to experience but instead of just his life being in danger he had a friend also who was swept away

Definition Essay On Becoming A Man
For generations, one question has been asked and continues to be asked by males all around the world. What does it mean, for one to become a man?
Man, a term defined as "an individual human; especially: an adult male human" in the Webster Dictionary seems like a straightforward concept, but,
like most words, has more than one meaning. Man is not just a word for the human race or one geared toward males, but rather a coming of age term.
We all start out as children, with an immense amount of immaturity, as we all grow older, we begin to lose the immaturity bit by bit, and ultimately
our choices and results of our choices build us into men and women. Becoming a man means; to grow up, to become mature, to be the best version of
yourself. However, many have trouble becoming a man and rely on others for some ideas to jump–start their brains. Leading to the creation of society's
idea of "Manhood", but just because there is a generalized idea of manhood does not mean that there isn't room for some individualization. There are
many ways for one to interpret the criteria they have to meet for one to be a man, this could be anything from owning a gun to having a successful
career. However, three areas are crucial in them determining what it takes for one to become a man: values, past experiences of men, and what kind of

Be a Man Essay
Many different people have very different perceptions on what it is to be a man. Since history began, different cultures have had different perspective
on how to be a man and what a man is. The definition of a man had varied from ability, performance, and behavior. Some see manliness as acting
foolish and overbearing. Others see being a man, as being a strong and courageous individual. This second version of being a man is the one all men
should seek to be, but is not the most widely accepted version of manhood. The common stereotype of being a man can have a lot of consequences on
society and men themselves. A good portion of Americans have a more negative perception on the definition of manhood. Many Americans see being a

Since little girls are encouraged to please adults in their appearance, men will respect women less in adulthood. As a result, women will always try to
find a way to please a man without giving thought to themselves. If a man continues to reject a woman because of their appearance, this can lead to
emotional distress among a woman. This distress can lead women to make conclusions and stereotypes about all men. This is why the "men are pigs"
statements are common among women. So, it is easy to say, that some parents are to blame for contributing to the stereotype of masculinity. Parents
need to be the ones to raise not only their boys, but their girls to help make the image of masculinity a better one. Another suspect would be the
environment of competitive sports. This competitive nature according to Theroux can lead to, in the future, bad marriages, moral degeneration, and
sadists. People can say that sports does a person good, but a few number of athletes behave like gentlemen according to Theroux (224). Sports need to
be reassessed and need to be changed to make real men, not overbearing morons. Sports are very common among young men, and very favored. If
sports were to change, then Americans perspective on masculinity would change through time for the better. Sports should be more about having fun,
creating memories, and fair winning. The perspective of masculinity we have today, can do a lot

The role of men in society has transformed immensely. According to Dr. Phil, if men want to be successful in their marriage and family life, they
have to change and broaden their definition of what it means to be successful as a man. Being a good provider, protector, leader and teacher is a
privilege that comes with responsibilities that many men aren't aware of. A Provider
Most men believe that being a good provider means supporting a family financially. It means much more than that. Aman should also contribute to the

Thus, these changes have resulted in male losing his image and ego as the dominant gender in society.
First of all, it is not possible to talk about the changing role of men without mentioning the transformation that the female role has come through.
The contemporary social situation was caused in large degree by women anticipation and making them more "equal" to men. Females are not
forced to stay at home nursing children and making diners, they are free to go to work and pursue a successful career. And even if a woman
chances to bear a child, now she is encouraged to return to work as early as possible and in fact reproved if she does not. Therefore, in many cases
men are expected to take over the duties of a housewife. Before long, it is men who do the everyday laundry, it is men who prepare children for
school and pick them up afterwards, it is men who cook dinners and sew a button onto a worn out shirt. Especially if the woman's career happens to
be more successful and profitable. Hence, the purpose of men as the 'alpha male', provider and protector within the family unit and the community as a
whole, has become obscured and belittled. The vision between roles of men and women became blurred, leaving modern men in state of bewilderment.
It is also key to look at the way in which the role of man as strong and

A Descriptive Essay : The Man
The Man The green grass has nothing on his beautiful, emerald eyes. The soft smiles he gives me in the hallways light up the world. A face like

like holding a bowling ball. Messing with his fluffy hair is like cotton candy I could tear into everyday. The noises he makes are so crazy they
become comforting. His smell is very unique, just like a cozy house on a winter day. A mammoth's heart is non comparable to how big of a heart
he has for the ones he loves. I get a delightful tingly sensation when his manly, but modulated voice speaks to me on the phone at night. No

looking at him. When I look at him I see a beautiful person inside and out. The way he laughs, you'd think we were at a comedy show. Hearing him
laugh until he's crying is the best feeling you get in your body that just brightens your day and all you can do is just stare and admire him. The
warm, soft hugs he gives is like laying in a freshly made bed after everything has been washed. His eyes dilate every time he looks at me and you

My Life Of A Man
I'd never shown a man my face. Far less my body. And I never understood how exposing my body or my face, visually, would be disrespectful. So I
didn't speak or associate myself with any man after the age of thirteen. It offended me. The idea of not being able to do things I wanted to do
offended me. It was in September 1994 when it began, though two years had passed and I was fifteen. I lived in Kabul, Afghanistan. I was scared at
first but that faded away. Mostly because I always had a thought in the back of my mind that I would end up either dead, or tortured and I would have
the idea of wanting to kill myself to let myself out of hell. However, suicide never crossed my mind.
My parent's only son had passed away when my mother was pregnant with me. My father started drinking when I was one day old. The worst part was
that my father believed that he died a man. A man. Not because he had a beard or because his voice was deeper than a lion's roar, but because
everyone had been convinced women are the weak gender and men are a symbol for strength and greatness.
I remember how it started. The conversation I had with my parents. My mother sat my sister and I down and spoke to us straight forward. She told us
that we wouldn't be going to school and that we couldn't play outside anymore. I was confused. I suddenly had to make drastic changes to my daily
life. And I hated that. I questioned her and kept repeating: why?

Analysis Of Giuseppe Mazzini's The Duties Of Man
Giuseppe Mazzini was instrumental in unifying the Italian nation as his ideals spread throughout Italy's intellectual community. Although many of
his attempts at rallying the common people to a revolution failed, he circulated and popularized the idea of a fully unified Italy for the first time
since the fall of the Roman Empire. In his work "The Duties of Man," Mazzini establishes that he is largely a romantic nationalist, since he draws
heavily on history; however, he utilizes the power of certain liberal nationalist sentiments such as individuals' rights in his own work. In this
document, Mazzini largely focuses on how the ideas circulated after the French Revolution regarding the rights of man have corrupted the true
nature of a nation by creating a culture of greed and egoism. While he openly discourages the erasure and pursuit of these rights, he is quick to point
out that individuals' egoism and each nation's separation of class "... has grown and grows worse in nearly every country, and especially where I write
the price of the necessaries of life has gone on continually rising, the wages of the working–man in many branches of industry falling and the
population multiplying" (87). He argues here that allowing any nation to be solely characterized by the rights of its citizens causes a nation to define
itself based on the millions of individuals, dividing any community or society–which he believes is the backbone of the nation. In Mazzini's view, the
solution to this is by fostering a national culture of duty to one another. When he asks, "What is Society but a collection of men who have agreed to
bring the strength of the many in support of the rights of each?" the audience is forced to question their own personal hierarchy between rights and
duties; for what is a nation if there is no work or duty in achieving and maintaining the rights of every man within the nation (89)? It is through this
investigation that Mazzini reveals his ideas of what makes a nation a nation. By using familial themes, much like the Russian romantic nationalist,
Khomyakov, he is able to portray the nation's people more clearly as a brotherhood and the nation itself as a maternal figure. Both Mazzini and
Khomyakov promote

My Life Of A Man
What grown some of the personal hate for the male community, were not the humiliations or occasional beatings, when I was a teenager. From the
seeming innocent school times to the gruesome times in the military, I have spend an enormous amount of time surrounded by men. Confused about
my own gender and not knowing any better, at the time, I 've tirelessly tried to learn and adapt to their culture and adapt to be a man. I wanted to survive,
to fit in, wanted to be just one of the normal guys. As soon as I figured out, that instead of beauty, it is the intelligence what men value the most.
Computers were becoming a huge part of everyones life, so I knew, that it was a great choice to learn everything about them. I spent years studying
them and soon enough, even as a child, I was good enough to make more money than some of the adults in full time jobs. (Thank you Mr. Bill
Gates for developing Windows and establishing Microsoft!). Computer knowledge proved to be very effective, because I quickly earned respect
and was accepted in successful male social circles. AT this point, the rest of the every day life, became to me, like a game. As long as I "played the

The Terrible Old Man Summary
During his time, H.P. Lovecraft was an author of fantasy and science fiction but was widely known for his horror stories; One being "The Terrible
Old Man." In this short horror story, Lovecraft really tries to involve the reader in becoming a part of the story. He creates an atmosphere for the
reader, but also allows them to get different perspectives on the story. In the end, the reader is left with an idea that can still be held true today: Truth is
putting on someone else's shoes and getting a sense of what that person's life is like, rather than just assuming and judging. In this short story, everyone
in Kingsport has developed some sort of idea or theory about the town's crazy old man. However, no one knows for sure what he is like.
Everything about him is almost assumed. Like the fact that he could possibly have Spanish gold somewhere hidden in his home. When three thieves
attempt to rob him, they were later found dead washed up on shore. Perspective allows the reader to infer the ending: The old man killed all three of
them and dumped them into the water where they later washed in with the tide. The story starts with the perspective of Mr. Czarek, one of the
thieves. He makes references to other characters and even himself. However, towards the end, we get the perspective of the town and almost the old
man himself. This style of writing lets the reader get the whole picture. The reader can see how the town is oblivious to the old man, but can also see

Summary Of A Satire Against Reason And Mankind
"A Satire against Reason and Mankind" is a poem written by John Wilmot the Second Earl of Rochester. Two things are argued against in this poem.
First, mankind and its base nature that causes men to exploit each other for seemingly no reason. Second, mankind's ability to reason which causes
them to compare themselves to God. However, at the end of the poem Rochester offers a chance for himself to be proven wrong, but only if a just man
can be found. This idea of a "just man" is not Rochester believing mankind can improve, but rather it is him supporting his own argument because he
knows that this man does not exist. When this "just man" is described he directly contrasts with human nature and shines a light on man's true baseness
and shows...show more content...
Next, a scenario is offered to the reader to allow them to come to their own conclusion. The poem states, "Be judge yourself, I'll bring it to the test,
Which is the basest creature, man or beast... Beasts on each other prey, but savage man alone does betray... man undoes himself for no good... But man
with smiles, embraces, friendship, praise, Inhumanly his fellow's life betrays; with voluntary pain distress, not through necessity but wantonness"
(2305). When animals prey on each other it is justifiable because it is out of necessity for food, but there is no way to vindicate men for attacking one
another. Rochester then states that even men who are friends will voluntarily betray one another without provocation. Next, Rochester's argument shifts
from being directed towards men themselves, but rather their ability to reason.
Rochester introduces a clergyman in poem to act as an adversary that argues for reason and mankind. The clergyman states that he understands
Rochester's argument but does not understand his hatred for reason and mankind. The clergyman begins his defense of mankind and reason by
saying, "Blest glorious man! To whom alone kind heaven and everlasting soul has been freely given; Whom his creator took such care to make, That
from himself he did the image take, And this fair frame in shining reason dressed, To dignify his nature above the beast" (2304). Biblical scripture is
paraphrased by the clergyman when he claims that men were made

I would change my paper by making more reverse on it because I generalize main ideas than clearly stating the idea, not to go off topic simply sticking

The thesis statement needs a bit more depth for the presentation of 'meat' and 'women' that marketers view them as. The thesis statement would be

I have more information in those paragraphs because they go beyond the scope of the intended analysis of the "I Am Man" advertisement. I would
remove the sentence "she accepts this way of life and goes along with the circumstances that are within their relationship" (second paragraph in the
paper) because it's telling you what is going on beyond in the future and not stating the actual behaviour or feeling that is presently happening in the
advertisement. In my paper, I have a tendency to generalize sentences that are underdeveloped and doesn't provide a clear statement of what I am
trying to come across. For instance, in the introduction sentence to paragraph two, it states: "this advertisement towards women suggests to viewers
that traditional thinking and behaviour, are still active throughout society". I provided some ideas to why traditional thinking is still active, I should
have gone more in depth of which ones exactly by providing a list. The correct sentence I should have done is "this advertisement towards women
suggests to viewers that traditional thinking and behaviour, are still active throughout society such as the women must clean, cook and take care of
children while the men go off to work"(first sentence in paragraph two). In the third paragraph, I had stated: "they target men through their
advertisements because they believe that it is safer to receive more business by promoting towards men than women". I sound pretty good although I
forgot to provide evidence that supports this claim I was making against advertisements targeting men for promotional reasons. Therefore I would add
on to the sentence above and say "For example in the "I am man" advertisement it shows all men eating and enjoying the big meaty burger satisfying
them with every bite they take. While few minutes before sitting at a restaurant with his girlfriend the man stated that this is "chick food" indicating that

Essay On What Does It Mean To Be A Man
What does it mean to be a man? In many cases the definition of a man is someone who is strong and does not show a lot of emotions. The media has
many stereotypical meanings of what a man is, also these stereotypes mold men into what is being portrayed in social media. Family values also have
a huge impact on how young men act. In some circumstances, father's do not nurture their son's as much as young girls are nurtured at young ages.
This then leads young men to not handle their emotions very well. Traditionally when a father has a son they are more tough on boys. While, if a
father were to have a daughter they are treated completely different. Fathers are highly overprotective of their daughters while for their son's, they don't

This erratic behavior tends to cause issues for young males because many then believe that they can not handle their emotions in a healthier way.
Instead of talking about their feelings they go on these "rampages" and often do things they later on regret (Rash). In addition to young boys not
showing their emotions, a vast amount of young boys are told to not cry because crying is not something boys do. This type of language molds many
young boys brains to believing that crying is something wrong and they should "man up". This also keeps many young boys from seeking out help
when they are going through something difficult (Richards). Suddenly, this then leads to young boys never speaking about their problems and
keeping all their emotions buried inside of them. As awful as it sounds due to boys keeping all their feelings inside, this later on leads boys to
committing suicide. Boys account for 75% of suicides (Richards). There are many reasons as to why boys act like this but the main reason is society
and how they are raised. This kind of parenting results in many boys having problems showing even the tiniest bits of feelings towards anything. This
ultimately the reason why males are called
emotionless. I have friends who also do not open up unless I force them too. It is as if them telling me their feelings make theme feel weak and they hate

  • 2. Summary Of ' The ' I Am A Man ' 1 On the eve of my twelfth birthday, my father sat me down to have a talk– He says, "Mary Amelia;" his using my full name and not what everyone usually calls me had me paying attention right away. "You're my only daughter and you're about to become a young woman. I don't know much about what I, as a father, should tell you; however, with your momma gone, I feel it is my responsibility to say something in the way of trying to prepare you for womanhood... After hesitating a moment, Papa says, "Now, I don't know anything about all that woman stuff; that is something you will have to talk to Becky, Aunt Georgiana, or Jenny about– I didn't tell him, but that woman stuff happened well before our talk that day, and when it did, it scared the dickens out of me! Getting back to Papa's conversation, he says, "I'm a man; therefore, I know about the man stuff. There is something I want you to know and the only way I know how to tell you is to say it is straight out. There is no delicate way to say this; men are vulgar creatures, Molly. They're perversive rogues that only want one thing – to lay you down, spread your thighs and have their way with you. Don't let your head be turned by just any boy you pass on the street. Even here in Butler County!" If I thought the woman thing scared me– what Papa said really scared me– As soon as he finished with me, I went straight to Becky's cabin, told her what Papa had told me, and asked her what he meant.

  • 3. Live And Die Like A Man Summary Farha Ghannam's book, Live and Die Like a Man: Gender Dynamics in Urban Egypt, studies manhood in modern Eqypt. Ghannam takes this already under analyzed concept a step further by exploring gender relations in the Middle East and pointing out how men and women are concurrently involved in maintaining the norms of masculinity. This book is important because in the past, the study of gender in the Middle East has been approached by focusing on women, rather than men. While this work has been key in helping to dismantle stereotypes of women in the Middle East, it has also had the unfortunate consequence of showing hegemonic masculinity as unproblematic. Being male becomes the norm against which the female other is assessed. This approach ignores the ways in which gender is mutually constructed. Both masculinity and femininity are shaped through the structures of patriarchy. Ghannam...show more content... Masculinity is an ongoing process that begins with birth and continues until death. It is shaped through responses to the adversities of life such as unemployment, marginalization, police brutality, marriage, fatherhood, and death. Women are particularly important in the dialectical cultural processes through which a man creates his masculinity. She uses the example of Mushen to elaborate on this relationship. In Middle Eastern culture, "a husband's ability to assert his domination and the wife's acceptance of (or at least appearing to accept) this domination significantly reflect on a man's standing" (Ghannam, 95). Mushen is exemplary in asserting his dominance Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Is Man Naturally Good Or Evil? The question of whether man is inherently good or evil has vexed humanity since its appearance. Is man naturally good? Does he live in a state of the noble savage? Or was his natural habitat ,nasty , brutish and short? These questions are important because they help inform the way in which we treat our fellow human beings and structure of society. If man is in fact naturally bad then there is little to be gained in trying to make bad people better. Similarly, if we think that people are naturally good, then one would tend to look at factors outside the control of the person to help explain egregious behaviour. Our view of human nature often informs our view of social justice. Those who believe people are born stupid will be less willing to...show more content... Additionally the need for survival is stronger than empathy or sympathy which is why he believed that civilisation was needed to ensure that people did not misbehave. Despite the focus on whether man is good or evil I think that perhaps this is not the correct question. Does not everyone have good and evil in them? Are we not good and evil? Does pure evil exist? Does pure good exist? Was hitler entirely evil? Should we not try to understand what makes people bad? Man is neither born good or evil but is heavily influenced by the people surrounding them and the influence of society. If anything man is inherently good and evil. Even in the most extreme circumstances people have exhibited both compassionate and heinous behaviour. In the holocaust people carried out egregious acts of depravity and what can only be classed as evilness. However people also undertook acts of compassion, kindness and great bravery in order to save people from the holocaust, for example Oscar Schindler. If we really are evil, why do people carry out acts of kindness with no care for personal gain? Whilst we are sometimes driven by selfish desires we also have a sense of compassion and morality. What is good and evil? It is sometimes difficult to tell.The environment in which a person is brought up can alter his view on what is acceptable and indeed what Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. The Seventh Man Summary Should the narrator of "The Seventh Man' forgive himself for his failure of saving K? What I think the narrator should do is forgive himself. So many people might think he shouldn't because he lost this person.. But sometimes that happens everyday and people can't help it. But anyways, why I think he should forgive himself for this terrible thing is because it is not his fault. No one should blame themselves for that the earth has done to a human being. So these are the two reasons why I think he should forgive himself. Okay, in the first paragraph I said that he should forgive himself and I have a lot of reasons but i have put them down to two good reasons why he should forgive himself. This first reason is you cannot control the weather and how everything happens. The earth is a planet with things that happen for a reason. Such as what happen with the waves taking K with it and he would was never seen again. Waves in oceans and lakes are dangerous. No one can track what will happen with waves unless the wind is very strong and you can see the waves going crazy. I had one of those things happen to me once the wave was too strong but I got out of it. Time will tell when everything happens and nature takes time too. Now on to my next reason why he should not feel bad about it....show more content... Yes the body can handle many of things but grief is a hard one to do. Suffering from what happen is not the answer to any situation like this. What you should do it get up and not feel so bad about what happen. Yes, all this may affect other people's lives but you need to think about yourself and what you could do for yourself and get over this.

  • 6. Men's Health Magazine Analysis Essay The target audience for "Men's Health" magazine has always been perceived as the stereotypical man's man. The weight lifter, the health nut, or perhaps just the thirty to forty–five–year–old father of two attempting to fight back the hands of time and look younger just a little bit longer. This is no longer the case as the social climate has begun to change over the last few years however, the magazine is beginning to recognize that it's readership is made up of a much more diverse and not so cookie cutter audience. A very specific example of that can be found inside the June, 2017 issue of "Men's Health" magazine displayed in a two–full page advertisement for a website geared towards the sexual health of gay men. Specifically, the...show more content... The website for this advertisement is a site geared towards the various aspects of sexual health associated with a relationship of any type. Proper types of protection for yourself and your partner are referenced as well as ice breakers to discuss various topics that would be difficult to address early on in any sexually active relationship. The most impressive message associated with them is the message at the bottom that reads "and talk to a healthcare provider". It seems only a normal evolution that as social acceptance surrounding couples of every makeup would lead to a more open and honest discussion about their sexual interactions and how to stay healthy and active at the same time. We have been observing messages of this type since high school for the last 30 years, but only geared towards the more conventional ideas about sex and relationships. It is reasonable to assume that the target audience for this message is the gay community. The individual models do not appear any different than any other person you might encounter in the street or the subway or the local supermarket. The scenes are depicted so normally to send a very important message about how normal a concept it should be to seek medical advice concerning your health whether you are gay or straight. The body posture and poses are very casual only enhancing the message that conversations with healthcare Get more content on HelpWriting.net

He and his friend were in a tsunami, then all of a sudden the wind stops they look outside and his father tells him they are in the eye of the storm. He told his father he was going to walk around then his friend K followed him out. They went to the beach and huge waves started coming. The little boy ran leaving K behind thinking he was following. He turned around and saw his friend get swallowed by the humongous wave. He has still not forgave himself.

This is exactly what the narrator of the story, "The Seventh Man" had to experience but instead of just his life being in danger he had a friend also who was swept away after 3 gigantic waves crashed onto the beach. Although, after this horrible disaster he blamed himself and felt it was all his fault his friend had been killed. This man should forgive himself because none of us know what the future holds.

  • 9. Definition Essay On Becoming A Man For generations, one question has been asked and continues to be asked by males all around the world. What does it mean, for one to become a man? Man, a term defined as "an individual human; especially: an adult male human" in the Webster Dictionary seems like a straightforward concept, but, like most words, has more than one meaning. Man is not just a word for the human race or one geared toward males, but rather a coming of age term. We all start out as children, with an immense amount of immaturity, as we all grow older, we begin to lose the immaturity bit by bit, and ultimately our choices and results of our choices build us into men and women. Becoming a man means; to grow up, to become mature, to be the best version of yourself. However, many have trouble becoming a man and rely on others for some ideas to jump–start their brains. Leading to the creation of society's idea of "Manhood", but just because there is a generalized idea of manhood does not mean that there isn't room for some individualization. There are many ways for one to interpret the criteria they have to meet for one to be a man, this could be anything from owning a gun to having a successful career. However, three areas are crucial in them determining what it takes for one to become a man: values, past experiences of men, and what kind of life they want to live....show more content... While it does have some of its flaws, it is nonetheless, essential for a growing boy to learn the core aspects of manhood as well as gaining his own aspects of it. It not only allows him to grow up into a good person but also build his individuality and become his own person. It reflects everything he has experienced, through the values he chooses are deemed most important to him. It even shows what he doesn't want to be, someone that he has had negative experiences with such as an abusive father or a jerk of a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Be a Man Essay Many different people have very different perceptions on what it is to be a man. Since history began, different cultures have had different perspective on how to be a man and what a man is. The definition of a man had varied from ability, performance, and behavior. Some see manliness as acting foolish and overbearing. Others see being a man, as being a strong and courageous individual. This second version of being a man is the one all men should seek to be, but is not the most widely accepted version of manhood. The common stereotype of being a man can have a lot of consequences on society and men themselves. A good portion of Americans have a more negative perception on the definition of manhood. Many Americans see being a man as...show more content... Since little girls are encouraged to please adults in their appearance, men will respect women less in adulthood. As a result, women will always try to find a way to please a man without giving thought to themselves. If a man continues to reject a woman because of their appearance, this can lead to emotional distress among a woman. This distress can lead women to make conclusions and stereotypes about all men. This is why the "men are pigs" statements are common among women. So, it is easy to say, that some parents are to blame for contributing to the stereotype of masculinity. Parents need to be the ones to raise not only their boys, but their girls to help make the image of masculinity a better one. Another suspect would be the environment of competitive sports. This competitive nature according to Theroux can lead to, in the future, bad marriages, moral degeneration, and sadists. People can say that sports does a person good, but a few number of athletes behave like gentlemen according to Theroux (224). Sports need to be reassessed and need to be changed to make real men, not overbearing morons. Sports are very common among young men, and very favored. If sports were to change, then Americans perspective on masculinity would change through time for the better. Sports should be more about having fun, creating memories, and fair winning. The perspective of masculinity we have today, can do a lot Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. The role of men in society has transformed immensely. According to Dr. Phil, if men want to be successful in their marriage and family life, they have to change and broaden their definition of what it means to be successful as a man. Being a good provider, protector, leader and teacher is a privilege that comes with responsibilities that many men aren't aware of. A Provider Most men believe that being a good provider means supporting a family financially. It means much more than that. Aman should also contribute to the emotional, spiritual, physical and mental well–being of his family. In order to do this, he must recognize that there are other currencies, in addition to money, that need to be provided. A Protector This...show more content... Thus, these changes have resulted in male losing his image and ego as the dominant gender in society. First of all, it is not possible to talk about the changing role of men without mentioning the transformation that the female role has come through. The contemporary social situation was caused in large degree by women anticipation and making them more "equal" to men. Females are not forced to stay at home nursing children and making diners, they are free to go to work and pursue a successful career. And even if a woman chances to bear a child, now she is encouraged to return to work as early as possible and in fact reproved if she does not. Therefore, in many cases men are expected to take over the duties of a housewife. Before long, it is men who do the everyday laundry, it is men who prepare children for school and pick them up afterwards, it is men who cook dinners and sew a button onto a worn out shirt. Especially if the woman's career happens to be more successful and profitable. Hence, the purpose of men as the 'alpha male', provider and protector within the family unit and the community as a whole, has become obscured and belittled. The vision between roles of men and women became blurred, leaving modern men in state of bewilderment. It is also key to look at the way in which the role of man as strong and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. A Descriptive Essay : The Man The Man The green grass has nothing on his beautiful, emerald eyes. The soft smiles he gives me in the hallways light up the world. A face like heaven, but with a jawline so sharp it could cut your fingers. The way his muscles tense when I rub his arms after a long, sweaty day of baseball is like holding a bowling ball. Messing with his fluffy hair is like cotton candy I could tear into everyday. The noises he makes are so crazy they become comforting. His smell is very unique, just like a cozy house on a winter day. A mammoth's heart is non comparable to how big of a heart he has for the ones he loves. I get a delightful tingly sensation when his manly, but modulated voice speaks to me on the phone at night. No Channing Tatum can compare how handsome he looks in my eyes. The flirtation winks he gives me while walking to the dugout when he sees me looking at him. When I look at him I see a beautiful person inside and out. The way he laughs, you'd think we were at a comedy show. Hearing him laugh until he's crying is the best feeling you get in your body that just brightens your day and all you can do is just stare and admire him. The warm, soft hugs he gives is like laying in a freshly made bed after everything has been washed. His eyes dilate every time he looks at me and you can just see the happiness in his eyes. When he holds my hand in stores it's like having my own personal guardian angel taking me towards the right way in life. He cares so much about what I want Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. My Life Of A Man I'd never shown a man my face. Far less my body. And I never understood how exposing my body or my face, visually, would be disrespectful. So I didn't speak or associate myself with any man after the age of thirteen. It offended me. The idea of not being able to do things I wanted to do offended me. It was in September 1994 when it began, though two years had passed and I was fifteen. I lived in Kabul, Afghanistan. I was scared at first but that faded away. Mostly because I always had a thought in the back of my mind that I would end up either dead, or tortured and I would have the idea of wanting to kill myself to let myself out of hell. However, suicide never crossed my mind. My parent's only son had passed away when my mother was pregnant with me. My father started drinking when I was one day old. The worst part was that my father believed that he died a man. A man. Not because he had a beard or because his voice was deeper than a lion's roar, but because everyone had been convinced women are the weak gender and men are a symbol for strength and greatness. I remember how it started. The conversation I had with my parents. My mother sat my sister and I down and spoke to us straight forward. She told us that we wouldn't be going to school and that we couldn't play outside anymore. I was confused. I suddenly had to make drastic changes to my daily life. And I hated that. I questioned her and kept repeating: why? "The men, Asfiya." She said. Later that month I began to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. Analysis Of Giuseppe Mazzini's The Duties Of Man Giuseppe Mazzini was instrumental in unifying the Italian nation as his ideals spread throughout Italy's intellectual community. Although many of his attempts at rallying the common people to a revolution failed, he circulated and popularized the idea of a fully unified Italy for the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire. In his work "The Duties of Man," Mazzini establishes that he is largely a romantic nationalist, since he draws heavily on history; however, he utilizes the power of certain liberal nationalist sentiments such as individuals' rights in his own work. In this document, Mazzini largely focuses on how the ideas circulated after the French Revolution regarding the rights of man have corrupted the true nature of a nation by creating a culture of greed and egoism. While he openly discourages the erasure and pursuit of these rights, he is quick to point out that individuals' egoism and each nation's separation of class "... has grown and grows worse in nearly every country, and especially where I write the price of the necessaries of life has gone on continually rising, the wages of the working–man in many branches of industry falling and the population multiplying" (87). He argues here that allowing any nation to be solely characterized by the rights of its citizens causes a nation to define itself based on the millions of individuals, dividing any community or society–which he believes is the backbone of the nation. In Mazzini's view, the solution to this is by fostering a national culture of duty to one another. When he asks, "What is Society but a collection of men who have agreed to bring the strength of the many in support of the rights of each?" the audience is forced to question their own personal hierarchy between rights and duties; for what is a nation if there is no work or duty in achieving and maintaining the rights of every man within the nation (89)? It is through this investigation that Mazzini reveals his ideas of what makes a nation a nation. By using familial themes, much like the Russian romantic nationalist, Khomyakov, he is able to portray the nation's people more clearly as a brotherhood and the nation itself as a maternal figure. Both Mazzini and Khomyakov promote Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. My Life Of A Man What grown some of the personal hate for the male community, were not the humiliations or occasional beatings, when I was a teenager. From the seeming innocent school times to the gruesome times in the military, I have spend an enormous amount of time surrounded by men. Confused about my own gender and not knowing any better, at the time, I 've tirelessly tried to learn and adapt to their culture and adapt to be a man. I wanted to survive, to fit in, wanted to be just one of the normal guys. As soon as I figured out, that instead of beauty, it is the intelligence what men value the most. Computers were becoming a huge part of everyones life, so I knew, that it was a great choice to learn everything about them. I spent years studying them and soon enough, even as a child, I was good enough to make more money than some of the adults in full time jobs. (Thank you Mr. Bill Gates for developing Windows and establishing Microsoft!). Computer knowledge proved to be very effective, because I quickly earned respect and was accepted in successful male social circles. AT this point, the rest of the every day life, became to me, like a game. As long as I "played the ball", acted manly the doors were open to me everywhere. By the time I got to the military, I was a pretty good actor and it still ended up being some of the worst times in my life.

  • 16. The Terrible Old Man Summary During his time, H.P. Lovecraft was an author of fantasy and science fiction but was widely known for his horror stories; One being "The Terrible Old Man." In this short horror story, Lovecraft really tries to involve the reader in becoming a part of the story. He creates an atmosphere for the reader, but also allows them to get different perspectives on the story. In the end, the reader is left with an idea that can still be held true today: Truth is putting on someone else's shoes and getting a sense of what that person's life is like, rather than just assuming and judging. In this short story, everyone in Kingsport has developed some sort of idea or theory about the town's crazy old man. However, no one knows for sure what he is like. Everything about him is almost assumed. Like the fact that he could possibly have Spanish gold somewhere hidden in his home. When three thieves attempt to rob him, they were later found dead washed up on shore. Perspective allows the reader to infer the ending: The old man killed all three of them and dumped them into the water where they later washed in with the tide. The story starts with the perspective of Mr. Czarek, one of the thieves. He makes references to other characters and even himself. However, towards the end, we get the perspective of the town and almost the old man himself. This style of writing lets the reader get the whole picture. The reader can see how the town is oblivious to the old man, but can also see what the old Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Summary Of A Satire Against Reason And Mankind "A Satire against Reason and Mankind" is a poem written by John Wilmot the Second Earl of Rochester. Two things are argued against in this poem. First, mankind and its base nature that causes men to exploit each other for seemingly no reason. Second, mankind's ability to reason which causes them to compare themselves to God. However, at the end of the poem Rochester offers a chance for himself to be proven wrong, but only if a just man can be found. This idea of a "just man" is not Rochester believing mankind can improve, but rather it is him supporting his own argument because he knows that this man does not exist. When this "just man" is described he directly contrasts with human nature and shines a light on man's true baseness and shows...show more content... Next, a scenario is offered to the reader to allow them to come to their own conclusion. The poem states, "Be judge yourself, I'll bring it to the test, Which is the basest creature, man or beast... Beasts on each other prey, but savage man alone does betray... man undoes himself for no good... But man with smiles, embraces, friendship, praise, Inhumanly his fellow's life betrays; with voluntary pain distress, not through necessity but wantonness" (2305). When animals prey on each other it is justifiable because it is out of necessity for food, but there is no way to vindicate men for attacking one another. Rochester then states that even men who are friends will voluntarily betray one another without provocation. Next, Rochester's argument shifts from being directed towards men themselves, but rather their ability to reason. Rochester introduces a clergyman in poem to act as an adversary that argues for reason and mankind. The clergyman states that he understands Rochester's argument but does not understand his hatred for reason and mankind. The clergyman begins his defense of mankind and reason by saying, "Blest glorious man! To whom alone kind heaven and everlasting soul has been freely given; Whom his creator took such care to make, That from himself he did the image take, And this fair frame in shining reason dressed, To dignify his nature above the beast" (2304). Biblical scripture is paraphrased by the clergyman when he claims that men were made Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. I Am Man Thesis Statement How would you improve your paper? I would change my paper by making more reverse on it because I generalize main ideas than clearly stating the idea, not to go off topic simply sticking to the main idea of analyzing the advertisement, and providing supporting evidence for every claim you present about the "I am man" advertisement. The thesis statement needs a bit more depth for the presentation of 'meat' and 'women' that marketers view them as. The thesis statement would be rewritten as "the "I am Man advertisement requires a dramatic change in promoting gender stereotypes through the associations and representation of meat and women in a man's world. The "meat" and "women" present the traditional view that marketers pose when viewing meat...show more content... I have more information in those paragraphs because they go beyond the scope of the intended analysis of the "I Am Man" advertisement. I would remove the sentence "she accepts this way of life and goes along with the circumstances that are within their relationship" (second paragraph in the paper) because it's telling you what is going on beyond in the future and not stating the actual behaviour or feeling that is presently happening in the advertisement. In my paper, I have a tendency to generalize sentences that are underdeveloped and doesn't provide a clear statement of what I am trying to come across. For instance, in the introduction sentence to paragraph two, it states: "this advertisement towards women suggests to viewers that traditional thinking and behaviour, are still active throughout society". I provided some ideas to why traditional thinking is still active, I should have gone more in depth of which ones exactly by providing a list. The correct sentence I should have done is "this advertisement towards women suggests to viewers that traditional thinking and behaviour, are still active throughout society such as the women must clean, cook and take care of children while the men go off to work"(first sentence in paragraph two). In the third paragraph, I had stated: "they target men through their advertisements because they believe that it is safer to receive more business by promoting towards men than women". I sound pretty good although I forgot to provide evidence that supports this claim I was making against advertisements targeting men for promotional reasons. Therefore I would add on to the sentence above and say "For example in the "I am man" advertisement it shows all men eating and enjoying the big meaty burger satisfying them with every bite they take. While few minutes before sitting at a restaurant with his girlfriend the man stated that this is "chick food" indicating that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Essay On What Does It Mean To Be A Man What does it mean to be a man? In many cases the definition of a man is someone who is strong and does not show a lot of emotions. The media has many stereotypical meanings of what a man is, also these stereotypes mold men into what is being portrayed in social media. Family values also have a huge impact on how young men act. In some circumstances, father's do not nurture their son's as much as young girls are nurtured at young ages. This then leads young men to not handle their emotions very well. Traditionally when a father has a son they are more tough on boys. While, if a father were to have a daughter they are treated completely different. Fathers are highly overprotective of their daughters while for their son's, they don't care as...show more content... This erratic behavior tends to cause issues for young males because many then believe that they can not handle their emotions in a healthier way. Instead of talking about their feelings they go on these "rampages" and often do things they later on regret (Rash). In addition to young boys not showing their emotions, a vast amount of young boys are told to not cry because crying is not something boys do. This type of language molds many young boys brains to believing that crying is something wrong and they should "man up". This also keeps many young boys from seeking out help when they are going through something difficult (Richards). Suddenly, this then leads to young boys never speaking about their problems and keeping all their emotions buried inside of them. As awful as it sounds due to boys keeping all their feelings inside, this later on leads boys to committing suicide. Boys account for 75% of suicides (Richards). There are many reasons as to why boys act like this but the main reason is society and how they are raised. This kind of parenting results in many boys having problems showing even the tiniest bits of feelings towards anything. This ultimately the reason why males are called emotionless. I have friends who also do not open up unless I force them too. It is as if them telling me their feelings make theme feel weak and they hate feeling weak, especially in front Get more content on HelpWriting.net
