Media Violence

Different parts of the world/society view the effects of media violence differently than others. In the video it said that most of the violence occurs from boys/men. They are doing the act of violence to other boys/men. Masculinity can be related to this in that some men think that in order to be masculine they need to fight or create some sort of pain upon another male or female. Media violence is known as something that plays apart in every ones life. Parents prefer that their kids do not watch it, it has been taken to higher people, however nothing has been passed that says it will go into effect. The reason of this being that there is so much media violence, on the TV and computer that the government could not block out all of it. The relationship between violence and masculinity is something to watch out for, i feel that the two of these are becoming more common in our society. However violence can come from thousands of things, and only becoming apparent in masculinity. So i am unsure about how i feel with violence and masculinity

Masculinity

I feel that the top two things that were selected as the most important traits for masculinity are how the society views it. That if I personally had to do this on my own it is not what I would look for. I did however write these two down on my sheet, the reason being is that it is something that seems the world views men by. They seem to be the only thing that people go by to judge  what men are really men in our world/society. I feel that we should take in to account other characteristics because i know that they way they view women is not how I would, and I feel that it should be the same for men. That things should be based more on things that are going on the inside and not just things that are on the outside like looks.
