During the 1940s, transitioning from a boy to a man may have involved actually serving in World War II. However, in modern day America, there is no set path to becoming an adult - each individual finds his or her own…

Think about the stereotypical raider or pirate. This image presumably portrays a tough, unkempt, and harsh man. This man probably doesn’t really care about others and will do anything to get what he wants, or his treasure, he even steals and lies.

The men and women in the Iranian culture are both enforced upon. The opposite is happening in the Dominican Republic. The…

need each other and equality for all benefits everyone; children, adults, male and female. Since the beginning of time certain attitudes are drilled into each gender and gender stereotyping and the transmitting of sexist cultures is bad for boys as much as it is for girls. What if children are raised on ability and interest and are taught manners and respect and that what’s important is on the inside rather than gender, looks and appearance. Men are supposed to have balls, right. If a man…

When asked of what a man is supposed to be, most people would reply strong, tough, blunt, and essentially a badass. In literature, we would define these type of people as “hard boiled”, meaning that they are tough both on the outside and on the inside. In The Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade, a rugged San Francisco detective shows many resembling traits of a hard boiled detective, but also has the ability to show some compassion when necessary. Part of what defines a detective as, “hard boiled”, is…
