  4. In lecture, we learned about imagery and empowerment.
  5. Imagery is defined as a particular message that appeals to
  6. the audience, whereas empowerment is a set of measures designed
  7. to increase self determination and autonomy in people and in
  8. communities. My hypothesis is that throughout social media men to
  9. make up where is being normalized, hegemonic forces are working
  10. together to keep men from expressing themselves freely.
  11. Societal norms are constantly changing its views on what is
  12. acceptable and what is not providing experiences and representations.
  13. Consort conversations about the rial issues that allow the different
  14. standards and social categories in media.
  15. All over the world, men are portrayed in certain ways.
  16. Men are seen as masculine okay, not weak, aggressive and
  17. financially stable.
  18. Although there are many more characteristics, these are just some
  19. of the few.
  20. Now let's take a closer look at the meanings attached
  21. to these characteristics of men.
  22. As these examples portray a representation of what a real
  23. man means to be thes ideas are reinforced through mainstream
  24. media representation.
  25. There are many male portrayals, a Merrill terrorist characters in
  26. the media that are rewarded and seen as controlling himself
  27. and others aggressive and violent, financially stable and physically desirable.
  28. In the preferred reading of these pictures, you can see
  29. that masculinity is enacted by society, social media and even
  30. in kids movies.
  31. It is something that is assumed for males.
  32. Justus femininity is assumed for females.
  33. Men who are seen associated with the beauty industry would
  34. be considered associated with homosexuality.
  35. However, my position to take takes the oppositional view where
  36. the issue isn't the man but the different perspectives on
  37. masculinity being overlooked through societal normalization.
  38. Due to the progression of social media, their male beauty
  39. bloggers, instagram influencers and the want and need for self
  40. expression, men are able to build a new form of
  41. beauty representation without having to be female or conform to
  42. social standards.
  43. The beauty industry should be expressed and enjoyed by everyone.
  44. In lecture, we talked about hegemonic imagery or theory.
  45. The hegemonic theory is the dominant classes ability to project
  46. their way own way of seeing the world so that
  47. the value system and society is manipulated.
  48. Their take on the world will seem acceptable and natural.
  49. Ah study conducted by Singapore's Nanyang technological university makeup for
  50. men shows how the hegemonic theory plays a part in
  51. imagery of men in society, although the use of makeup
  52. has been perceived to be predominantly worn by women.
  53. For a long time, a lot of Asian countries have
  54. been trying to break the social normalization and stigma of
  55. it on Lee being for women by selling products for
  56. men. Because of this, there is a strong stigma that
  57. is lingering amongst our society towards men who choose to
  58. express themselves and choose to put on makeup.
  59. Makeup is used to enhance 12 features, conceal imperfections and
  60. boost one's confidence.
  61. Recent studies have shown that younger men are assimilating to
  62. this trend and buying into makeup.
  63. This study hopes to broaden mindsets and reduce the taboo
  64. surrounding males and makeup by conducting a social experiments to
  65. men who at first to wearing makeup.
  66. This also hopes to initiate a conversation about the perception
  67. of male makeup and to redefine and rethink makeup for
  68. men, as well as open up new opportunities and perspectives.
  69. Now let's take a look at another perspective.

  76. and others.

  78. identity. Ah, water polo is from Russia.
  79. Slava af Gasanov participated in RuPaul's drag race in 2009.
  80. Being a straight man participating in drag, of course, at
  81. first was very nerve wrecking and concerned of what others
  82. might think.
  83. But this was his perception after the show.
  84. Ah, lot of people have this perception that men dressed
  85. as women are transvestites or something.

  87. people to be around them, being drag queens.
  88. It's something more for them every time, and they really
  89. love it.
  90. I definitely respect it, and I m b their talent.
  91. I wish I could be as creative as them in
  92. summary empowerment, imagery and hegemony all play a part to
  93. the weight that men are proceed in the medium.
  94. The portrayal and acceptance of men by the media is
  95. seen a socially powerful and violent physically and verbally.

  97. in society, how they should be treated and how they
  98. should treat others.
  99. The normalization of expression through media have given men more
  100. opportunities to self empowerment and self identification.
