They typically emphasize that men are supposed to be unemotional, powerful and successful beings. Furthermore, these codes, or more accurately, “set of rules” allow other males to constantly scrutinize their peers, determining if they measure up to what is expected of them.

Log entry#2: Reflections on Manhood and A Dialogue with Scott Russell Sanders To my mind, the models of manhood must have certain characteristics. And here I would like to explore a few of the important ones. The first important characteristic is responsibility. Every man should accept responsibility for his action without any excuses. For example, when a male give someone promise, he should try the best to keep his word and maintain a good credit.

Focusing on explaining what makes a human male “guys” compared to “men”.
The last is “Give ‘em Hell” this says that men should show their aggression and take risks. Men are constantly in competition with other men to see who is manlier. The question is what is the definition of being “manly”? In his article, Kimmel goes over “Gender Police” which is the guys’ peers. These peers constantly watch and judge other men to see if he does anything to ruin his man
In society we are given several ideas of what fathers should be like. A Blow A Kiss by Tim Winton, represents two contradictory ideas of fathers. Fathers who are kind and loving towards their sons are seen as a positive representation of fathers, whereas ones who are nasty and abusive towards their sons are seen as a negative representation of fathers.

In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury shows that man is responsible for sharing and following his personal truth in several different ways. One way he showed man sharing and following his own personal truth was through Clarisse. By having her abide by her own rules and not act like what is considered normal in her society, where conforming is everything, Clarisse follows her personal truth before following society’s common truth and is truly happy, unlike most people in her society.
