Unfortunately, socialist overlook individualism and constructionist over look race, age, gender, and class. “Tough Guise 2” shows that violence is attached to masculinity from many aspects in society: movies, games, women. It is common to blame violence on movies and games because the “tough guy” is typically the one that makes the decisions and bosses others around while demonstrating aggressive behavior. These shared traits define the culture we have in our society. “Popular culture is often expressed and spread via commercial media such as radio, television, movies, the music industry, publishers, and corporate-run websites,” (Introduction to Sociology 62). Pop-culture in today’s society influences violence with sexual behaviors and how different races, genders, and sexualities are viewed and interact. On page 95 of Introduction to Sociology 2 edition, it states “… who we are as human beings develops through social interaction.” People become and structure themselves through others and what they are exposed to. This is how “Tough Guise 2” explains that masculinity is shaped through media. For example, the “tough guy pose”. Homosexuals are usually not portrayed as tough, Asian men are not portrayed as tough, respect is not portrayed as tough. In movies, Asian men are often desexualized and represented as impatient and angry. In movies, men, in general, are usually deemed weak and labeled inappropriate terms that are often offensive to other genders and sexualities if they do not disrespect and have sexual relations with women. In movies, men are weak if they lose a fight or do not use brutal force. Guns
