Part 2 of Research Paper

Hello Miss B I did not go to class today because I did not have the first draft done so I thought there would be no point.

I also have a couple of questions which I hope you can answer:
What do you mean by the revised thesis?
Can I still have the Peer Review online? Can I share the document with someone and they make can leave comments in the documents? ( Just like we did in class)
Also I have not got any feedback from my research advisor but here is the link you can see my comments

Am I missing anything else?

Thank You very much.

Blog Post #7

In Chicano Man and Masculinity Zinn focuses on the micro aspect of Chicano masculinity ( which I assume from the text to be Mexican Men within the Hispanic community). She states that although she doesn't disregard the fact of culture as being a factor it is not the only factor, that socioeconomic roles also play a big role in defining their masculinity. Sometimes masculinity was a cultural factor for these Chicano Man but a lot of the times work was actually shared between the men and the woman. This goes against the stereotype of Man running the household. I agree with her overall message because I never really thought about it that way specially in this one quote; "If this is the case, it is reasonable to suggest that the father's authority is strongly upheld because family solidarity is important in a society that excludes and subordinates Chicanos." (30) By being excluded in the outside world it actually strengthens the bond within the family on the inside which contradicts the notion that men could care less about their wives and children. A very interesting paradoxical reading indeed :]

I did it on paper on time because I couldn't figure out how to do it on google docs.

Blog Post #5 Espiritu Article

Black slaves in U.S. history were beaten, degraded, and were considered animals by the white folks. They had no choice of say in their life whether women, men, children or elderly and were considered mindless working machines with no rights for years. Japanese Americans who were born here were were tax paying U.S. citizens, that is until the bombing of Pearl Harbor. After the war act they were taken into concentration camps and had all their rights expunged by one single order by the President. Japanese Americans were no longer considered people but a threat to the United States because of their ties to Japan. Both Blacks and Asians felt the governments attacks tactics on them solely based on their race. While Black slaves had no freedom, Japanese Americans had some freedom in the internment camps but both freedoms were imposed on them so as long as they behaved like dogs and followed orders they were considered "good" people.To me that is a sort of updated modern day slavery, you are given a "house" some commodities and as long as you do what you are told nothing bad will happen.Although there were cases of guards killing people for resisting orders so not only where their freedom taken away from them they were imposed with this new standardized freedom until further notice. The freedom of both Blacks and Asians was easily given and easily taken away, men were not men anymore there was no such thing as patriarchy because they were equal to the children and were equal to the mothers.

Who's the Man?

In my opinion both men from "The Male Myth" and "The Black Male" are equally as masculine. Not all men are the same and to compare one to the other is unfair, because not every man or person for that matter behaves the same. The idea of masculinity can differ from person to person from one culture to the other. To where as black male in general have gone through many hurdles through time, Paul also went through struggles clearly not as hard as black men did but nevertheless he still had his hurdles. Both man were born the same but grew up in different circumstances so to place one idea of what a men is supposed to be like to two man who grew up in differently i find it not so reasonable.
