Organization: Your paper must include a formal introduction and conclusion. It must also include three main sections: past, present, and future understanding and vision of masculinity. In each section, you should include examples from media and your own life that highlight how masculinity was/is understood and how it was/is embodied. You can pull examples from pop culture, media such as tv shows, films, books, commercials, memes, social media, etc. Throughout your paper there should be a noticeable shift in the ways in which our understanding of masculinity has begun to shift and transform.

You should focus on examining not only the ways in which our understanding of masculinity has begun to change and transform, but also what has created the space for such change and transformation. Its not enough to just give examples of past and present masculinity. You must discuss why these changes have begun to occur.

Lastly, what are you visions for the future of masculinity? How and why do you think masculinity will look differently? What will lead to creating the changes you wish to see?
