    The story, under first impression, shows hard work is efficient enough to gain wealth. However, sober, honesty, and industrious are defined in the books section about character and morality. This affects the young male readers as it allows masculinity to define one’s work ethic, wages, and profession. By including these testaments, a reader is inclined to embody honesty and industrious qualities to become this “successful professional man” and to raise their own socioeconomic position to meet this idealized form of masculinity. However, a counterpoint to this example is found in the article “Effects of Wealth on Morals” which is included in The Contributor, a literary magazine designated for young men.…

    Largely based on genitalia, a man’s most basic identity, his sense of masculinity, typically serves as the foundation for the other pieces of identity. Thus, Reva utilizes this to transform Daniil’s grandfather’s missing testicles into a representation of the true issue: an overwhelming lack of identity, even in the most fundamental sense.

Durkheim puts his ideas of deviance into a structural-functional theory, which sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability. Whereas other sociologists, such as Alexander Liazos, believe that deviance is a result of social inequality. Liazos ideas fit into a social-conflict theory, which sees society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and change.…

In the early 1990s, many sociologists believed that Sextons’ ideas could be linked specifically to hegemonic masculinity (Donaldson, 1993).

Theories of different types of masculinities, especially hegemonic masculinity exploded in the early 1980s, and a theoretical part of these discussions were how men experience their own bodies (Connell and Messerchmidt, 2005). The foundation for hegemonic masculinity is: heterosexuality, homophobia and that woman are seen as sexual objects for men (Donaldson, 1993).…
