Masculine’s definition is stereotypically twisted. The myth and reality of the cowboy shaped today’s definition of masculinity because they have this high and strong structure they need to uphold. Masculinity is having the traditional acts as a man, such as being strong and secure. In today’s world man and women have two different mindsets. Even though we are all humans, our gender defines the way we should act due to how society makes it. The myth has affected males physically, emotionally and mentally. The idea is that they are supposed to act accordingly. In reality, everyone wants to grow up differently, so why would they be forced to act/be a certain way?

The battle at the Alamo is one of the most significant events in the Texas Revolution, as well as in both Mexican and American history. For Mexican President and General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, it was a tale of determination and holding to the principles of a strong, central government. For Americans living in Texas, the Alamo was a venture of small scale Revolutionary ideals; a people should be able to democratically express how they feel their homeland to be governed. As we know, both countries experienced the extreme opposites of their desired outcomes, if only initially. The tales of this specific point in time are many, though some certainly contain many varying details from the next. However, most can hardly be proven, as

Rodeo has been around for several decades and has gradually become very popular around the world. The three events that have been apart of the rodeo since the beginning include saddle bronc, steer roping, and bull riding. Rodeo is a great sport for cowboys and cowgirls to compete in an event that suits their lifestyle. These contests have changed dramatically since the first official rodeo in the late 1800’s. Because the rodeo event was created in 1888, ranchers culture has been brought to the world and created into a world wide sport.

The events that began on February 23, 1836 have roots that span as far back as 1808. This exploration into the events and carnage that took place before, during and after the Alamo will only go back to the events immediately leading up to the Alamo.

Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the

The siege, fall and ensuing massacre of nearly two hundred Alamo defenders at the hands of Mexican General, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna y Perez de Lebron’s army of over five thousand was a defining moment in both Texan, and American history. For 13 days against insurmountable odds, a small, but very determined Texan garrison force fended off an equally determined Mexican Army ordered to capture it. I’ll discuss the events and political climate leading up to the siege, key historic figures involved on both sides, the siege itself, along with events immediately following the battle. The iconic phrase, “Remember the Alamo!” would later go on to become a rallying cry at the Battle of San Jacinto.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as “Cluster’s Last Stand,” which was fought on June 25, 1976 in Montana, U.S. The outcome was indulged for the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne tribes, who presumably will defeat the U.S Army under Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and its 7th Calvary. This trounce defeat by the tribes, will consider Indians bloodthirsty by the demise of their enemy. The Indians overwhelmed the 200 men by a cluster of 3,000 men. This insisted the battle was lost by the west, and will always be known as “Cluster’s Last Sand.” A battle that only lasted shortly, and took part of the “Great Sioux War of 1876,” will consider Indians unpredictable in the battle field.

American society relates to the component of Johnson’s (1997) patriarchy concept of male-identified with men only clubs, restaurants, and community events such as the Free Masons in particular (pp.158-167). Free Masons are male-identified in that the assumed legacy entered into and the expectations of initiation are so that only the utmost essence of masculinity, with associated virtues embodied, would suffice acceptance. The male-identified component of patriarchy demonstrated by clubs such as the Free Masons support Lorber’s (1994) claims that gender discrimination is organized around both “sameness” and “difference” through its exclusion of women (pp.38-46). The club assumes all men have the same potential to assume male-identified characteristics

Lance, I respect your post and thoughts, but do you think that what you stated is a little two-sided? What I mean is what you think is attractive might not be what I think is attractive. People have different taste and like different things. This being said hiring someone in a suit does not mean much to me because what are you actually getting under the suit? Their attitude and ways could be very ugly and hard to get along with on daily basis. Also, as Christian's we are not supposed to have lustful eyes. I understand we are all human and do not get me wrong we look. Putting people in positions that look a certain way works and does typically pull in revenue, but usually, you are not getting a true person, you are getting someone paid to look

The strong homosocial bonds between the men are what facilitates and reinforces the power structure of masculinities in Entourage. The series does not focus only on the movie star Vince but is instead carried on the relationship between Vince and his friends: manager and best friend “E”; his older and unsuccessful actor brother, Johnny “Drama” Chase; the devoted driver and weed carrier “Turtle”; and overtly masculine agent, Ari Gold. The show is about the core group. Vince himself reiterates that he goes as the group goes. That is, he refers to “our life” not his. The characters in Entourage hold a much stronger bond than a traditional 'entourage' or same sex friendships. The four main characters of the series have know each other since they were kids and have since formed an extremely close bond similar to that of a brotherhood. An examination of the relationship between these characters brings the emergence of a new form of masculinity that is welcomed by viewers. The show does not reject the former ideology of the hegemonic male who revolves around power as embodied by Ari Gold, Vince's aggressive and disrespectful agent who employs dominance over women. Rather, it
