This blog will give an insight of our group research project from our English 100 class. Our group is made of 3 persons and we've agreed to research on the above topic. With the aide of our professor, we'll do our best. I am going to post what we've written so far (Introduction Page) and more to be published soon.
The Mask You Live In is a documentary produced and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom that explores the negativities of masculinity with in the American culture. Newsom’s inspiration for the documentary originated from her getting pregnant with her son. She was quoted during an interview when she said, “It was really important to me that I could nurture a son who could be true to his authentic self, who wouldn’t always feel like he had to prove his masculinity. There’s so much loneliness, pain, and suffering when one is pretending to be someone that they’re not.” We imagine the mixed view this documentary had. Some saw it as gender bias against men and some saw it as the wrong view of masculinity by female. This research paper will traverse masculinity and redefine masculinity as it relates to how American parents raise their sons. Newsom argues that we’ve constructed an idea of masculinity (05:33) in the United States that doesn’t give young boys (05:36) a way to feel secure in their masculinity, (05:39) so we make them go prove it at all time. She went on to say that masculinity is not organic, it’s reactive. (05:50) It’s not something that just develops. (05:52) It’s a rejection of everything that feminine. (05:54) We believe that Newsom’s definitions toward boys and their parents are harmful to society and has the propensity to initial violent boy, we differ with her on those issues. We’ll as a team redefine how American Parents define masculinity for their sons and we are going reconstruct the I deal that masculinity is not organic, it’s reactive. (05:50) It’s not something that just develops. (05:52) It’s a rejection of everything that feminine think that It’s the society that’s unfair masculinity with in the American culture. Let me start by first given an historical over view of masculinity to give the basic to my argument.
