there is no real reason to establish one’s dominance. It is when a man or a boy are in a male dominant group they are part taking in something an individual(s) may not prefer not to do so, but feels they cannot stand against the situation. If the individual may feel, if they were to go against the guys that they will lose their masculinity in the process. As it was said in my Soc 328 class, Men can only give other men power. Being a man in our society seem to be important if you are not given…

news of the deaths of his wife, son, and household, Malcom is quick to tell MacDuff to “dispute it like a man”(IV.iii.219). Similar to the current phrase of “act like a man”, Malcom seeks to stifle this apparent “feminine” emotion of sadness and grief. Finally adding depth to a reply and in turn, the works treatment of manhood, MacDuff cries out “I shall do so. / But I must also feel it as a man”(IV.iii.221,222). Instead of the mere reactions of opposition, which only solidified action for other…

But how do we change the entire world? Before we go there, let me give you my definition of a true alpha. My definition of a true alpha is the kind of man every boy wants to become. But I think we can remove the gender limitation and define it as the hero every child wants to be. Back to your question. In short, you can’t change the world, but you can change yourself. And if everyone changed themselves…

The Glass Castle, written by Jeannette Walls, has a recurring theme of abuse by people in respected positions. The article, “Hollywood Actors Speak of ‘Rampant’ problem of Male Abusers Targeting Men,” written by Sam Levin, discusses the idea of older men using their power to target younger individuals. A clear similarity of these two sources is the idea of power being abused by individuals, to target those who are vulnerable. In recent times, there has been an influx of allegations made against…

often seems difficult for a woman to be as successful in her career compared to her male peers. For most of history it has been expected of women to remain in the home, only concerned with domestic issues. It is typically harder for a woman than a man to be hired into higher level positions in the workplace although women are just as capable. Through Madam Secretary: A Memoir, Madeleine Albright proves the importance of women having the confidence to speak up for themselves and pursue careers in…

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the character Lady Macbeth does not conform to the gender expectations of her time. Her nonconformity is shown through the actions she takes—rebelling against the common notion of feminity by inciting violence—to ensure her husband's, Macbeth's, place as king. The character Lady Macduff serves as a foil to Lady Macbeth and displays how women are expected to behave. Because it seems that Lady Macduff is put forth as an example of the ideal woman, it is expected that she…

POETIC ANALYSIS OF “Out, Out-” BY ROBERT FROST In Robert Frost’s poem “Out, Out-” Frost uses literary devices to portray the fact that life should be valued. The boy that Robert Frost creates is a hard worker. The boy tries to do the best he can, but because of his age and lack of experience, he is unskilled. His unskilled hands are only trained for work that leads to his painful death. Frost mimics the story of Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth through the boy, and the specific way he dies. The…

In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the story follows the struggle of a father and his son to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where inhumanity, despair, and violence in a loveless world do not seem to save much room for peace and triumph. However, despite the absence of empathy and basic humanity, McCarthy does somehow achieve to highlight some pleasant themes all over the story: the themes of morality, hope, and love that are embodied through the father and son's journey on the road. One of…
