What makes you a Man
In our culture, men have this status of being strong, independent and show no emotion at all. In America we are raised on that the man brings home the bacon, runs the family and be the strong one. Thats our culture, men have to be strong in order to fit in, or they will be too soft. We are so focused on our physical appearance of being strong as men, that we forget our true feeling. What I mean be this is, that it is alright to sensitive as a man. Then the question come is it ok for men to show emotion??? Your culture today says it is not ok, it makes use week and not strong. But for myself i say it is ok to show emotion, in past experiences I have tried to show that strong no emotionally person but i come to learn that it is strong to show emotion then not showing it at all. Real men cry, little boys cry and teens do not cry at all. I have learn that crying is a sign of healing, and it is ok to cry, or in other word its ok to show emotion and thats what makes a man.

I agree that it is "stronger" to show emotion than to hide it. I think our culture has def. influenced guys to be "tough" and we need to make an effort to be aware of this so it doesn't affect us personally.
ReplyDeleteI agree, in that the toughest guys are usually the ones that show emotion and dont care what others think
ReplyDeleteI do agree that mens' status is to be tough, and no emotions whatsoever. It is okay for boys, guys, men to express what they really feel without being judged upon it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that real men need to express their emotions. After all, we're all human beings.
