Blog Post # 12
Men need eachother as close friends to help each other when one needs help and boost eachothers confidence. Men depend on other men for masculine approval. Both the movie The Hangover and the reading "The Girl Hunt: Urban Nightlife and performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity" proves this. In The Hangover it shows us a group of friends who go through many problems and many things just to find their missing friend. Together they unite all the clues they have in order to get that end result which is finding their friend. Grazian's reading talks about yound men preparing to go meet new girls, the way they do it and how they act infront of their friends in order to meet a girl. In the reading young men would drink before going out at night and their purpose was to get drunk in order to boost up their confidence and to go out and have a good time. Meeting girls is part of their plan aswell because they have to prove to their friends that they can get girls. In The Hangover the four friends planned to drink that night so they can boost their confidence and have a good night before one of the friends (Doug) gets married. This shows us that men use alcohol as a way to boost their confidence before they go out in groups. One of the guys name Stu, was the most shy guy. Once he drank with them and went out he met a girl in a club and married her. Tours the end of the movie the guys liked the girl and they hated his fiance so they encouraged him to leave his fiance for the girl he just met and he did. In the reading men encouraged other men to talk to a girl in the club and when they did, the friends would act as if they were proud of them and approve of this. This just shows us that men depend on their guy friends and need the approval of them, girls are just a way to prove their masculinity even further.

Course Reflcetions
1) What was the one assignment that was fun to do and why? what did you learn from this assignment? - An assignment that was fun to do was the photo analysis paper because i've never done something like that. It was interesting having to choose a picture and deeply analyze it. I learned that you can get a lot of information about a person from just really looking and analyzing their photograph.
2) What was the one assignment that you did not care for? why?
- I did not care for the annotated bibliography of the research papers because at first i didnt really know how to do them and i thought it was difficult finding sources in a short amount of time and doing the annotated bibliography for each one.
3) Do you think, overall, Blogger was a useful tool for this class? In what ways?
- I think blogger was a useful tool, it was helpful and easier to post assignments on time rather than to write it down and hand it in.
4) Describe one kind of assignment or task that we did NOT do that you either did on your own OR an assignment you would have liked to have done, or a TYPE of assignment you would have liked to have done more of?
- an assignment i would like to do more of is research paper in groups, i think it was easier faster and more fun to do.
