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.

The difference between boys and girls

Society know that being a man and women is very different from each other, since we are born we are starting to acquire that stigma that boys and girls must be different, so we start separating things that belongs to a girl or to a boy.

There are many differences between boy and girl for example girl want a doll to play with it and to make their doll elegant to look, if you give a doll to a boy it usually making the doll like a hammer or a weapon that they can use because boys usually like a toy guns, axe or anything that can use to have an action or to become like one of the action stars. Boys don’t want a large volume of makeup because it actually making them look like a clown, girls like wearing large volume of make up because it making them more elegant to look and now most of the perfume are label if it’s either for a male or female.

I read some article entitled “TheReal Difference between Boys and Girls” by Anita Sethi, Ph.d. this article talks about the differences between boys and girls, first she said that they differ on the motion because boys are more adept at keeping track of moving objects; recent research shows that boys are about two months ahead of girls when it comes to figuring out the laws of motion (that if you roll a ball under a couch, say, it will take a few seconds to pop out on the other side). Secondly he named this difference as They've got the moves because Girls do talk first, but boys are likely to start walking -- and hit all the major motor milestones -- around the same time as girls. Third are those boys tend to be more easily agitated than girls and have a harder time self-soothing. Fourth is Boys preferred looking at groups of faces (future teammates, perhaps?) rather than individual ones. In fact, given the choice, newborn boys would rather look at a mobile than a single face. Last is that Boys express fear later than girls, and less often. The author wrote a line that tells” My son turned his doll's crib into a race car and my daughter was obsessed with shoes.” Then there’s a question flowing in my mind that why is it when we getting older these enjoying things will stop? Is it because we know that this is not good enough to do or we just thinking that our society will going to judge us, this line also tells me that even thou when we are still a baby we have our differences even thou we have a lack of mind.

Differences are actually normal to people because god created us unique and have our different weaknesses and strengths, we have different talents and we have different abilities that we can do and others can’t. Differences are not a form of separation to each other because this will only served for us to know our limitations in life that will make us better. Sometimes we are making some people different from us because she/he doing different things but still they are people we just not have the decision in life. The lessons that I learned is since are birth we have are differences and we should not add something on it because it will not produce a good effect on us.

Real Scenario

All movies have a story its either fiction or nonfiction, but all of this has a character that will signify the role that the director wants to have. Artist is the people who portraying the roles of a real person or an imaginary character, they have a skill to do some action and make it look like a real scenario.

Movies may happen in a real life but not all of this is possible to happen, because there are some limitations that people can do, while in the  lens of the camera which movie are created all things are becoming possible.  All of us are dreaming to become a popular but how? , Do we need to be a superhero that always winning in a battle because this is the thing that always happening in a movie but in the real life were not always winning there are many times that we are losing also. Movies giving us a mind that thinks limitless, it may be a good motivation but it also give us a negative effect because sometimes we do some things that even we know we can’t do it we are trying to pursue it and it may cause us danger in our lives, for example in a movie one man can defeat 4 man but do you think in the real life it may happen? , another example is when you’re dying and of course in the movie your savior will come and save you but in the real life it may not happen, That are the example scenario that not always happening in our real life.

I read some article entitled “DoDisney movies affect boys the same as girls?” by Louise Peterken. These article talks about those movies have a different approach but it will cause same effect to boy and girl but the gist of this article is that we are acquiring some scenario form a movie and we are actually doing it in our real lives.“Disney movies affect boys and girls in the same way in that they encourage them to either conform to traditional gender roles or challenge them, depending on what period they were produced in. “I think this line want to say that the purpose of Disney movies is to motivate people who are watching it to dream higher and all will be possible, but I don’t think so that it will be a good motivation because like what I said it can bring us to danger, let just admit that not all things are possible in the real life.

The viewer who is watching the movie will be still the one who will decide on what to acquire on that movie because we have our mind to choose and to decide on what is wrong thing and good thing that we must get from that movie. Dreaming high is not bad until we know are limitation.

We have no rights to refuse them.

Gays and Lesbian are the gender that is not accepted in the society but their population is still increasing till now, is there any problem with them? Because even they are not accepted some people choosing to become one of them and what is the main reason why others can’t accept them?

The reasons why the society can’t accept them because the stigma that our ancestors give to us it’s never been move in our mind, and that stigma can be easily wiped out if we will open our mind and think. People have a different opinion and a different mind but god creates us with a purpose to change something that will benefit all of us.

The things that are ancestor using in the old days is now our decoration in our houses because we start developing it and now we have a high tech gadgets that we can use in our daily life, it’s like the stigma that our ancestor give to us we need to removed it because we don’t get any benefit on it and the only thing that we can get on it is a separation, a gay and lesbian that still a people that have no disease and still fighting for an acceptance in our society.  

I read some article that entitled “Howto Understand Gay and Lesbian People” one of its editor is Ben Rubenstein. The article talks about several tips on how to understand a gay or a lesbian and how to start accepting them in our society, actually they made a step first one is Learn that gay men and lesbians are no different from any other group of people, 2^nd Forget about stereotypes; they almost always do not apply, 3^rd Accept the fact that the ability to love or care for another is not solely related to sexuality; love has no gender, 4^th Realize that it is not your business who other people love, 5^th Understand that gay and lesbian people do not choose to be gay and cannot make themselves straight; just as straight people do not choose to feel attracted towards the opposite sex, 6^th Be open minded, as you would be with any other person, and last is If you don't agree with it, don't insult them! . “Gay men and lesbians are not as different from the rest of society as you may assume they are.”  This line is a reminder for all of us that gays and lesbian is not an alien or a people with a disease that is contagious, we must accept them because they are also a people who want an acceptance with the decision that they choose and that is to be different with us but still they choose it us a people, a people that belongs to our society and have a rights to all that other people acquiring now.

Gays and Lesbian is also a people who need a respect and an acceptance from our society. We need to accept what they are and what decision they will make because it’s not our life and we have no right to control them because they have their own mind and heart. We must accept them as a normal people of this society because they are belong to this society and they have the rights to be accepted in this society even we don’t want.

Who is better Male or Female??

        

          Male and female is the most accepted gender in our society but until now we don’t know who is better between this two. Each of us have a weaknesses and strengths, it depends to us on how we will use it or how we can overcome it. People have different talents that other doesn't have but not all of us know how to express it or how to reveal it. Male and Women have a big different in terms of skills, sports, wants, needs and many other things but who is better between them ?

          Male can do some hard works like lifting some heavy metals or working in construction site while the majority of female is a housewife that commonly doing is lifting a baby or anything that is soft because we all know that in terms of physical strength male is better. Mostly female have a longer patience than boys because boys want an immediate action while girls will do some observation before doing an action on some situation. I proved in myself that both male and female can build a happy, loving and a complete family because in my situation even my mom and dad have a different skills and different weaknesses, I know that each of them contributes to have a perfect family and the number one instrument that they use is their heart.

          I find some article entitled “Male or Female, Who’s the BetterGender?” written by Cam Acheson. This article talks about what are the differences between male and women and of course who’s the better with them, here are some examples that the author give: There have been many gestures that females have been known to be better drivers, which of course the male population deny being as stubborn as we are. It has been proven that male drivers are more prone to road rage, which leads to of course accidents. Another theory has been that women can read maps better and also get around a lot easier. In my opinion this theory isn't the best one to see who is better due to there isn't a common re-occurrence of reading maps and becoming lost from either male or female genders. I believe that this theory is more a myth in a way but can be right or wrong in some instances. “Yes men who train and are the best of the best are better, but also it doesn't automatically say women are weak.” This line make my heart explode and realize that even thou your good at some things and other are not, this means that they cannot be better anymore because that people will have exactly their designated fields where they can perform better than other in the right time.

          I realized that all of us was created by god equally and all of us is created with some talents and weakness, but all of us was created by god with a different purpose in life that simply means we have a different tasks to do that god knows we are good too. All of the people were created better even thou it’s not perfect but that’s our duty to learn something new using the talents and other strengths that God provide us. We don’t need to compete who’s the best between male and female because we are created differently but created with one goal in life and that is to be perfect.

To choose a good movie

        

          Picking a movie is so hard because their are many things that we need to considered, movies have many genres some of that is comedy, action, horror, drama and many more, this is so confusing on what genres we will choose and what movie we will choose in that genre. Movies giving us different results after we watched and it may be a good one or the disappointing one, all of the movies have something to say on the viewer and have its own purpose why is it created.

          All of movies are created for us to entertain but what kind of entertainment we like? Is it for us to think, to relax, to be inspired, to be happy, to be scared or to realize something. There are many kind of entertainment but we must choose the right one according to our personality because we will not enjoy something if we’re not interested on it and it will give us nothing because you might fell in sleep while watching that boring movie. To enjoy things we must be interested on it and have a fashioned to learn more about it, learning something that we can use in our real life is one of the goals why movies are created.

          I read some article entitled “How to choose a Good Movie toWatch” by Manikandan. This article talks about the four basic steps on how to choose a movie, first step he/she said that we must consider the mood of the viewer because based on your current mood, you mostly pick the movie. i.e., if you are happier right now, then most of you may pick romantic, comedy or thriller movies. Also if you are so sad, you feel better to watch some inspirational movies. Second step is the Genre of your chosen movie because you must be interested on it. Third step is you must pick the movie with your Favorite Celebrities for you to satisfy that the celebrity can portray the exact role of the character. One of the lines that she/he wrote in this article is “Watching movies is one of the best hobbies for most of us. But picking a good movie is really a tough one. Because many factors will make you to choose a good movie.” This statement just proves that picking a good movie is really hard because their are many types of movies existing in this world, with different purposes and with different interpretation based on the viewer. Picking a movie has a process to follow to give us the effect that we want to have after watching that movie.

          While researching on the net for this article I find out that watching movie is so easy but choosing a good movie is so hard, we must do the process of choosing a movie because watching it can give a big impact in our life. The best advice that I can give to you is you must watch first the trailer of the movie because it will give you a glimpse on what kind of movie you will watch.

Movies in Our Life

          Movie was an image that was created in real life by a director and it was played in a projector or it can put on any storage device for people to watch, its either a real story or just an imaginary story from a creative mind of a director and their will be an artists who will act to portray the exact character that the director want to have. A story have always a problem and of course at the end of it their will be a solution and a lesson that you will learn, this lesson maybe a good one or a bad one.

          Watching movie is one of my hobby but I dint know that it will affect me a lot. Many Movies is entertaining and also many of it are boring but the main purpose why I want to watch it is because for me it’s entertaining and every time I do it I feel happy, but on the other side movies can affect me a lot because I acquiring some of the habits that I saw on it, being always happy till I exceed my limitations and being a lovely person even I know I committing a mistake, these are some bad effects that movie can bring to us but some of the good effect is we can relate on it in some situations in our life and this movie will going to give me the key for my problems.

          Movies can give us either a bad lesson or a good lesson that we are usually applying in our real life, we can choose any lesson that we want but sometimes we are choosing the wrong one because we don’t know that it is bad and because the movie that you watch portray that lesson as a good one in the watcher eyes, but in a real life that lesson will not be good for the people and it will harm other people physically or emotionally, sometimes even you.

          I read some article entitled “Movies, They Keep us Going” by Josh Lipovetsky, this article tell me that movies will give us a big impact in our lives and can connect with our inner selves, it’s simply means that movies can affect our real life because it was connected to us after we finish watching it. The article just talk about that watching movie have a great affect with us like in our personal relationship, education, emotional state, health, personal life, or we can say in all things that connected in your life and it says that watching movies can help you change your life but like what it say it can be a good one or bad one, this article talks about all the positive effect of watching movie and I see some line that says “The right selection of movies, that is. You know what’s best for you, and you know what movies you like to see. So after you finish watching one, try to reflect on the information you just learned, and apply it for your own benefit.”  These make me realize that choosing a right movie is the first thing that we must consider because that is the first step that we are doing before watching a movie, these step is very important because it will give us a short background about the film that we will watch and we will know what will be the flow of the movie and will give us some knowledge about the lesson that we may acquire on that movie.

          All movies have a certain topic to tell and it will give us a lesson in life either bad or good but still your the one who will managed it, we are the one who will choose the movie, we are the one who deciding on what we must do, we are the one who deciding the lesson that we are choosing and of course we are the one who controlling our lives. Movies may have a big impact in our life but we ourselves is much bigger than that, trust me.

Treasure Of God

             My family is the most important to me, who I met on the first day of my life, the first people that give me smiles, the person who is always there for me, the person who keeps loving me and also the person that I can nap on whenever I need it, I think this is the things that I need in my life and only my family can give it, that’s why I consider them the most important part of my life that can never be removed by anything and anybody. I also considered them the most precious gift of god and with them I feel very complete, I feel very safe and I feel I’m full of love.

             For you what?? I think your Gadgets that surround you and giving the momentary joy, the new shirts that fulfilling the outside part of your body or The money that can buy your want.

             Some of people feel that the gadget, new shirt and money completing them and giving the needs of them but a big NO all of that thing can be vanished anytime, all of the happiness that this things gives to you can be only for a second, minute, a day or a month but I assure you this will be not forever, even thou there’s no things or people that you will have forever but this things cannot love you, this things cant comfort you when your crying and this things can’t understand you, unlike your family that is there at the beginning  of your life and the one who will give you an eternal love.

             Time is gold like in the article that I have read entitled "How Grief is Changing the Way I Live" by Kristen she just tackle about how important time is and at the same time how important the family is. One day she knew that her sister in law has a serious condition and just realize that Why did she choose a family vacation at Christmas over a family visit, she know she love her sister but she thinks she can do better than that, being there at the side of her sister till the end is the only one he wish that happened. I remember some line that she wrote " I will say what's on my heart more and not let it be assumed "  this message leave an important lesson to me that I must express my feelings to the fullest and never waste a second in my life because every second in our life have a purpose, a purpose that will giving us the happiness and it will make us feel that we complete some mission that god give to us, this message will be the one of the best lesson that I had learned in my life.

             This article let me know that "TIME IS GOLD YOU MUST START TO LOVE YOUR LOVE ONES TO THE FULLEST". I know there’s still a lack on me because loving someone to the fullest is very hard, there are many temptations that stopping me, there still many lesson that I need to know and there are many other things that I should also do, but all of these things will be easily remove because I will start using my heart and start finding the lessons that I need to learn until I have a time.
