Course Descritpion
In this section of English 101 with the help of Zeus and other Olympian gods I will explore the theme of masculinity through close reading, critical thinking, class discussions, and a variety of writing assignments such as analytical, comparative and persuasive...
Theme
"Although we often described men as masculine, we do not consider all men equally masculine. In other words, in United States, generally masculinity is associated with strength, power, and courage but also with violence, sexism and close-mindedness. The depictios of men we see in politics, entertainment and sports often promote as well as reinforce these standards of masculinity. What we will investigate in this course is the notion of masculinity as an abstract concept rather than a fixed category. By closely reading and discussing a selection of readings, we will consider masculinity in relation to media, race, work, fatherhood, and relationships. Our objective is to see whether there are in fact numerous masculinities rather than just one masculinity." - Class Syllabus

Both of these articles are interesting, but they are written by the same author/writer, Mark Simpson. You should find sources from two different writes to show a more thorough and objective perspective on your work.
ReplyDeleteMiss B, I ve changed my second secondary source to this book. I have found a site that lets me see the pages of the chapter, but It wont allow me to print them.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great source. Nice Job :)
