Assimilation is a value that did not see a culture is inferior to the other, on another words, equality. Cultural pluralism is openness to the cultural differences instead of destroying them.

    If you somehow stumble across Michael Kimmel he’ll most likely give you an in depth and precise breakdown of the marveled “guy code”. In his essay, Kimmel explains that the guy code is a collection of attitudes, values, and traits that together compose what it generically means to be a “man”(Kimmel 542). Throughout his essay he discusses and dissects each aspect of becoming a man and the specific rules one must follow of the guy code. The text begins with a preposterous list of ten rules that are what Kimmel calls a “Real Guy’s Top Ten List” that broadly expand on how a man must act or what one must do in order to achieve society’s impeded manhood.

    The concept of manhood is usually defined by including the word masculinity. Because of this, the notion of what “being a man” (manhood) entails is often centered and pictured by society in similar terms. For the most part, manhood is thought to include some of the following characteristics: assertive, aggressive, independent, provider, rational, dominate, emotionless, etc. Due to the commonality that is associated between what constitutes “being a man” and masculinity, men are restricted from living a full human experience (i.e. not showing emotion, having limited relationship and social identities). In order to address this issue, I will use Emma Perez’s concept of decolonial imaginary-this concept aims to deconstruct the dominant culture’s ideology that has perpetuated oppression throughout history by re-gendering history to herstory.…

    Katherine Allison WS 300 Nov. 26, 2014 The theory of exclusively masculine identity forms a collectively accepted belief or idea of how males are supposed to go about their daily lives. Masculinity is an institutionally and socially prescribed role; however, males play an active part in defining and altering masculinity. For this reason, what is considered masculine varies geographically, culturally, as well as over time.
