where does my interest for the topic comes from?
I felt interested in advocating for this topic because since I was a kid I feel like I was exposed to a lot of macho stereotypes everywhere and I felt overwhelmed with this and t some point of my life I felt like I was following these stereotypes in order to look for social acceptance and other peoples approbation until the day I realized this didn't matter because if I am not being myself then it is like I am not living they way I am supposed to and that makes me the person who I am.
In my first assignment about my social topic which it was an essay I had to research a lot in order to have a long, detailed and professional essay that had a lot of reliable sources where I go to see some of the aspects that created this macho behavior and which social and basic needs were not met for the people who practiced this behavior and the people that have been affected by this behavior. |
