08 Apr How does Jackson Katz show that men’s behaviors are socially constructed
Watch the trailer of the documentary “Tough Guise” and answer the following questions:
a) How does Jackson Katz show that men’s behaviors are socially constructed (this concept is discussed in Chapter 1) and socially learned?
b) How does the Media, a key social institution, shape how we perceive men in American society?
c) One of Katz’s central arguments is that our society creates violence so that it is a normative expectation rather than an act of deviance or a social abnormality. Do you agree or disagree, and why?
