Tough Guise

I certainly believe that it depends on how a child is brought up to this world, and what his parents taught him during the early ages of his life, helps to shape the way he lives as a man. But, a major part of that also comes from the media, I think the media has a large effect on young kids. These kids(ages 12-16) take on this very tough masculine personality from watching other people(actors, UFC fighters etc.) on television, like Sylvester Stallone or Brock Lesnar, and unconsciously they start to act tough like them without realizing the purpose of it. Killing innocent students in public schools can be influenced by how society is affecting certain people, and also by watching movies like "Batman: The Dark Knight" where a lot of people have commented on the spectacular performance of the joker, but they were never fully aware that he was a cold hearted killer, and this movie was intentionally to be rated PG-13! The words pussy, fag, wuss, and bitch are used a lot in many different movies to address other people who are the weaklings, and it's most widely used in rap music. All of this influences what young kids grow up to be, and most of it is negative influence. It's not that everybody wants to act tough inorder to gain respect, there are a lot of people who are very kind and respectful to others. As for education, I think it also influences the way people live and act among others, but i dont believe that men are less educated than women. I think that everybody should have an equal opportunity, and that we all should get along so that no one is hurting anybody physically or emotionally.
