The paper is is to be around 6-7 paragraphs
Use the phrase “take it like a man” to build a thesis and how men’s health is
formed from this saying. How this saying constantly effects the way men think
through growing up.
Talk about how it creates a social stigma that men must
follow. Develop a well-reasoned paper of 1500 words that thinks about your
artifact’s hegemonic position, i.e. the way it tries to assert control over you. The
logic that underpins such as essay is that by noticing such artifacts, we also
notice our own positionality amongst them. That is, we can tell a whole lot about ourselves by the rhetorical artifacts that surround us and which ones we choose to engage with and how.
You use the article “Men Are Men” by Tom Chiarella to show how men are calm
You can include the Book “The End of Men: And the Rise of Women” by Hanna Rosin – not as a citation but just to show how men are seen and when they are beat,
they get backlash
A work I want to be included is The “feminist manifesto” by mina loy to show how
women engage and stand up for themselves while men sit back and don’t take
action- (for their health)
Add identity- how the world views men
Facism- How this encourages you to replace your motivations/desires with someone or something else’s
Jordan Peterson also says some very solid things if you want to reference him
more:
“That’s a very tiny proportion of men and a huge proportion of people who are
seriously disaffected are men. Most people in prison are men. Most people who
are on the street are men. Most victims of violent crime are men. Most people who commit suicide are men. Most people who die in wars are men. People who do worse in school are men. It’s like, where’s the dominance here, precisely?”
Talk about how men take their lives more often than women because they feel like they cannot reach- the phrase “take it like a man” contributes to this.
Feel free to add some stuff in
It is Rhetorical Anaylsis paper on the phrase “take it like a man” so find whatever you feel fits and can add to the topic.
Something to think about: Everything is made a competition instead of trying to
work together.
