Research Project

The research project is on how men have to fit a certain mold to avoid harassment and to fit in to society. Men have to be physically fit and independent. The media and advertisements portray men that are strong. The models show muscles and a fit body. Movies like Rambo and the Terminator also show an independent and strong leading character. The men use violence to further enhance their power and independence. As time went on, the muscles and guns seen in the media has gotten relatively larger. In movies, the small little hand gun has evolved into a big automatic machine gun. If regular men don't fit into this criteria of dominance, strong, and respect, then they get looked down upon and get called names.
