A Call to Men challenges man to reconsider their long held beliefs about women through eliminating domestic and sexual violence against women. Because "The Man Box teaches them otherwise", for example if a father tell his son that men do not cry, or women are our toys, and men have to be tough the socialization process continue because the chances are his son will follow the same path his Father taught him about the do's and do nots about being a man. Basically Tony Porter is saying if we can shift social norms that define manhood in our culture it will put an end to violence and discrimination against women and girls. If their is a change in men's behavior through re programing or re-education and the instruction process that promotes a healthy manhood. The Man Box will no longer exist. This is what i gathered from the video A Call to man by Tony Porter.
2. Summarize a Call to Men. (1-2 paragraphs)
In the video Killing Us Softly 3, Kilbourn the speaker talks about the impact of advertising on our society when it comes to women. The groundwork of the media not only sells products, but also sales images, values, and concepts of sexuality, and romance in women. Advertising put stress on how women need to be flawless in thin to fit in today's society especially for young girls and women. Kilbourn also states advertising portrays women as objects and animals instead of human beings. The fact is women and men inhabit or live in two different worlds. Men are not displayed nor are they judge, but women on the other hand are demoralized, judged, and put on display to the point that there is an increase in teenage pregnancy and domestic and sexual violence against women. Due to the fact that men and women will grow up retaining these stereotypes on how a women and men should act. This is what I gathered from Killing Us Softly 3, by Jane Kilbourn.
3. Explain how both video relate to our chapter on Socialization. (1-2 paragraphs)
A Call to Men and Killin Us Softly 3, is related to chapter 5, because it deals with socialization versus structure on how the gender role approach focus on learning behaviors that define as masculine and feminie. Which sterotype women from men and how we communicate with ohter and how to behave as expected which leads to sexism, sexual harassment, domestic voilence against women. With that said we are are gender socialized from the day we are born. This is how I see both videos being related to our chapter on Socialization.
4. Find one picture that represents the ways that boys and girls are socialized? (E.G. toys, TV, products etc.)
