Being a Man Essay

In society, there are many gender stereotypes. Women are seen only to be capable of being housewives and men are expected to act a certain way due to their gender. Men are supposed to act tough or behave in a way to show their masculinity. Therefore, the central issue in society is that boys and young men face is that they will be taught to do the same thing older men do so they can be just like them. There are three sources that prove this problem, one being an essay, another an excerpt, and the last in a column in a newspaper. In this essay, there will also be a solution to mend this issue. The first given source which is an essay titled, “Being a Man” dictated by Paul Theroux. In this essay, it states that “for any boy who expresses the desire to be alone, seems to be saying that there is something wrong with him.” Ergo, this could imply that even if a young adolescent wants to be left in loneliness is considered to be judged and seen differently because boys are supposed to act a certain way with others to express their manliness. Theroux also claimed, “I wanted to be a writer. It was my guilty secret because being a writer was incompatible with being a man.” This can suggest that boys are taught to do activities only boys ‘should’ do, writing not being among those simply…

Ontology is "the study of being. It is concerned with 'what is ', with the nature of existence, with the structure of reality as such" (Crotty 1998). Our assumptions about the nature of being, create our epistemology which is defined as "the theory of knowledge embedded in…

and sets the tone towards his philosophy. The Categories centres on the nature of a being—what it means to be a being. The idea that Aristotle is trying to present in chapter two is dividing the forms of speech in order to make the basic distinctions of them. In chapter two of the text, Aristotle identifies the four types of being. They are as followed: 1) things that are said of a subject, but are not in a subject; 2) things that are in a subject, but are not said of a subject; 3) things that…

Defining the Being that does the defining, the awareness that is aware, the formless thing that gives form, seems to be an almost impossible task to do through language. Some philosophers arduously endeavor to explain these concepts in convoluted and seemingly clever ways. Making up new names for old terms in an effort to build a new foundation through which the ineffable could be understood.
