Negative effect of masculinity

Masculinity is the quality that almost all men like to have. Some of men have the masculinity and some want to have that but what are the things that they can get in masculinity? Men that have masculinity can protect themselves and can protect their princess.

In reality not all men have the quality of masculinity but movie had set an image on what they might look and how they act in different situations. Some of men have a weak body that means they can get hard activities but what does the society call for the boys who hadn’t had the qualities of masculinity.

I had read some article entitled “Howthe Media Define Masculinity” by media smart. This article talks about masculinity in media, masculinity shows that boys must be powerful to save their princess and the negative effect that brings to the society is that girls is always dependent to their prince that leads them to not do anything for themselves and just to rely on boys. “boys are portrayed as tough, powerful and either as a loner or leader, while girls were most often shown as depending on boys to lead them” we all know that every time we are watching movie we can get something but some is negative like this one, Not all boys have masculinity and not all girls rely on boys because we have are different strength and weaknesses but we are not relying all the time to other people or in luck.

We can some things without masculinity and girls can do things without their boys and all this mean is masculinity is not important it just a figure which we can be even without the strengths, just use your mind and heart to survive in every obstacles in life. Sometimes women are better than boys they are not always dependent on boys as movie shows because they have also their unique strength that boys can’t have. 

How media portrays men

Media is the most influential thing in this world because most of us have their T.V, radio and other devices that can see in our home, but how media portrays the role of male in movies? Most of the action movies have a male actor who has the masculinity to protect their princesses but there is also a male actor that always manages to survive through luck.

In reality not all males have their strength and the muscles to protect the important persons and things in their life and in reality we are not lucky all the time usually we only have 2 percent of luck to survive in every obstacle.

Movies are setting an image of male that called Alpha and Beta stereotype of male. Alpha is the one who have the muscles and the physical strength to survive and to rescue her princess while Beta is a male who always hoping for luck or a friend to survive in the obstacle of life.

I read some article called “MediaPortrayal of Men — Alpha and Beta Male Stereotypes” by Breanna Redwin. This article shows us how media portrays a men, she divided it into two the alpha male which is a character is the strong silent type, an action hero, a big shot, or an athlete, the ideal of masculinity is the figure of dominance. He is in control of his own emotions and actions, and is often in control of others as well. He is physically strong, or socially powerful. He is probably physically attractive and aggressive. The alpha male character is likely to be either violent, or put in violent situations, which he is more than capable of dealing with. Another is Beta male which is is often found as one of the main characters of television sitcoms. Unlike the capable alpha male, the beta male is more or less incapable of everything. He tends to fail, and rarely tries to be successful. He is fundamentally worthless to society, and manages to survive through luck, or a capable mother, wife, sister, or friend. Some of line that she say is “These media messages influence both the expectations of society, and the development of young men.” This line means that media is most influential medium of entertainment and they setting an image of a male that is not good. Alpha and beta male is kind of men that is aggressive or a person who is always looking for luck or dependent to other, this two quality of male are the images of men in media.

In watching a movie we can obtain bad qualities of being a person and we should not let them control us, but we must only get a lesson from it. No male has to be an alpha male or a beta male to be accepted as a member of society. In fact the best way for an individual to reach their fullest potential is to be themselves.

Comedy Movies

Comedy Movies is one of the best genres because this movie was created for us to laugh and to have relaxation. Watching it make us laugh because of the funny scenes and jokes that we see and hear from it. Comedy movies are one of the genres that we can obtain a good effect.

            One of the most popular actor that doing comedy films is Vice Ganda, he is a gay actor who makes the most funny movie in the Philippines and Every time that I watch his movies I can’t stop laughing. Movies can create a big smile over are faces and this is one of the good effects that movies can bring us.

            One article entitled “5 Scientific Ways Watching MoviesEffects you” by Kathy Benjamin. This article says that Base on a study every time you laugh, it helps improve your health because it lowers your blood pressure; and, laughing for at least fifteen minutes is like exercising your cardiovascular system. Comedies movies can improve are health by just laughing. There is a therapy called laughter therapy that all you need to do is to laugh, that was like watching a movie you just need to laugh while sitting on a couch and then you can now improve your health. “Okay, you’ve seen hundreds of movies and you’re fine, so it can’t all be bad, right? Of course not, there are also health benefits to watching films.” This line just tells me that we can also get good effects from watching a movie because of the health benefits that it can give us. Some of us is a movie addict and we don’t really know that by watching a comedy film can improve are health because sometimes we are focusing onto the negative effects that it will bring.

            Comedy film was created not only for us to laugh but it was also created to improve are health by simply watching it. Watching a movie is not really bad, but it can also give us a good effect that we can surely benefit it.

Horror Movie

Movies were created with different genres; some of it is romance, action, fantasy and horror. All genres were created with different purpose and give us different effects in life. Movies may give us bad effects but there is also a good effect in watching a movie like Horror films.

Horror Movies is made for us to be scared and now a day’s there are many horror movies that has earned hundreds of millions of dollars. Horror movies are films that deal with the audience’s primal fears, so it was created for us to be scared and to give us thrill. Some people watch it because it gives them an adrenaline rush in a safe environment.

I read some article entitled“You can lose weight by watching horror movies, according to scientistsresearching how to appear in Halloween trend stories” by Sean O'Neal. This was all about the study in university of Westminster, they tested people to watch a horror film and they find out that when people get scared, our heart rate increases and our metabolism boosts that enable people to lose weight. This study shows that watching ninety-minutes of horror film is the same as walking for around thirty minutes. The top movie that can burn the most calories is “The Shining” which can burn a total of 184 calories. “watching horror films is a relatively effective way to lose weight” this line tells me that movies can give us a good benefits like this one, for just sitting and watching a horror movie in an hour we can really reduce weights.

Almost all of us are addicted to lose weight and we are doing everything just to be thin. Now scientist just proven that watching a horror movie can reduce our weight and by that I can say that not all the movies are giving us bad effects we can also obtained a good benefits from it.

Fantasy Movie

          Movies are created for us to entertain but are you aware on the effect that we can get from watching it? There is different genre like action, comedy, horror, romance, and of course fantasy. This entire genre was created with different purpose and will also give us different effect in life.

          Some of the best movies that our society watched is “Harry Potter”, this kind of film was belong to a fantasy genre, because it shows some magical scenes and places that are not existing in the real life. Magical spell through magical wand can make things flow through the air and sometimes it can make fire through one wave of the wand, these are the impossible things in real life and possible through the film of a camera.

          I read some article entitled “Fantasy movies boostcreativity in children: Study” by QMI AGENCY this article talks about the study from England's Lancaster University saying that watching a fantasy movie will improve our imagination and creativity. They tested some children and let them watch harry potter and they discovered that every children that watch the magical scenes are scored significantly better on creative tests. The testing included asking the children to pretend they were a rabbit or driving a car. They were also asked to think of different ways of putting plastic cups in a bin and for alternative uses for the cups. “Magical thinking enables children to create fantastic imaginary worlds, and in this way enhances children's capacity to view the world and act upon it from multiple perspectives.” This line tells me that when we are watching some fantasy movie our minds are opening to discovered new things and create new things based on the impossible things that we see from the film. Every bit of magic has a very important role in improving our mind to be more creative.

          Magic is not all about magic but it was about the lesson that we can learn from it and the new things that we can create through it. Magical places that is never been exist will be possible to exist in the real life because of the creative mind that fantasy movie created.

Disney movies

          Fantasy movie is created for us to be entertained by the fiction story about the powers, places that is not true, magical things and words, and also enchanted characters. Based on a study watching a fantasy movie can make us think more creative because it allows us to think beyond on what we already know, this kind of film introduces as to a new ambiance of reality but sometimes it tend to introduce us to set an expectations on some things.

          We all know that all of us already watch one of the Disney film, it was really entertaining in fact most of the Disney film have earned millions of dollars.  Some movies like Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, Snow white, Rupunzel and many more is all about a guy that will save her princess from enemies. Heroic scenes cannot be removed from any Disney movie because it’s all about how brave you are to save your princess.

          I read some article entitled “Disney's racism and sexism” by Anna Escher this article talks about that Disney movies gives us Sexist implications are brought up with the way gender is portrayed in Disney movies. Disney princesses have high-pitched voices and disproportionately skinny waists and they portray girls as Barbie dolls that have. They are providing some unrealistic expectations for a girl. Disney’s gender stereotyping has become a flawed template for what men, women and romance are supposed to be like in modern perceptions. “Now that we are older, wiser and not so easily swayed by bright colors, sappy theme music and predictable endings” this line tell me that we must be more wiser and we should not put some expectation on each other based on what movies show us because we are different with each other.

          Even though we are seeing some characters that portraying to be brave that have the muscles to protect their princess from enemy, we should not stay on to that expectations for men because not all of us have the same body and same ability to do we have our own strengths and weaknesses.

Discrimination in our society

Discrimination is a form of rejection, treating somebody different, looking down on someone or simply means that you are hurting someone with no valid reason to have. This is the one of the major problem of our society that until now is existing, we all know that this is not good but until know we can’t stop it.

There are many types of discrimination it may be about your age, religion, physical appearance, nationality and especially because of the gender that we are choosing. We all know that we have our own mind that will choose whatever decision we must have in the future, but still even thou we have it there will be an tendency to choose what we really don’t want, because we are scared to be discriminate by someone because she/he don’t like the decision that we made in our own life. Discrimination should not exist because we all know that anybody can give you some advice on what decision you will have, but still at the end you’ll be the final receiver of any consequences that you might received in the end. Discrimination is a form of activity by the person who are meddling other people life because they are selfish and they don’t care about others, they are the people  who is lack of attention.

I read some article entitled “TheEnd of Discrimination Starts With You” by Todd Smith. This article talks about that everyone one of us has a very important role to stop the discrimination because for him discrimination is dehumanizing because you deny the value of who they are as an individual and discrimination is subtle or overt, people know when they are being discriminated against, and it’s painful. He said that to stop this discrimination we must do our roles to stop it, some of it is you must help the people who you think get discriminate and we must be friend with him/her and do anything that we can. These are the basic step that will cause a lot and maybe the key to permanently remove the discrimination problem in our society. “Each of us plays an important role in ending discrimination against those with whom we live and work.” this line tells me that even thou we think in ourselves that we are doing some small help to those who get discriminate, it will cause them a big help and probably it may became the key to erase the discrimination in our society. Each of us should do our simple help for those people who get discriminate  because we know that being discriminated is very painful even thou we not get discriminate let just think that someone are stopping us to do the thing that we really love .

We are all people, we must treat everyone of us equally even thou we have a different decision that we made in our lives we must respect it. No one can decide in others life because we are born with our mind and I know that no one of us will be happy if somebody’s going to dictate you. We are born with our blemishes and no one is living as a perfect because we are born to respect each other.
