Week 2

In our current society, it is inevitable that we often blame the media and the environment for all the negatives happenning around us. For instance, there was a time when girls used to have an ideal mindset of what boyfriends or guys should be and act like. Many girls often believe what is portrayed by shows and movies about chivalrous guys who automatically put their girls first with unrealistic deep feelings like being able to die for them etc when they just meet. I remember when I was younger around high school, many of my female friends often complain about how their boyfriends do not act a certain way or look a certain way that movies say good guys are supposed to be like. As we grew older, some realized that it was the media's fault for making them believe certain fantasies of how guys should be like.

This article gives the description of how romantic movies are blamed for failed relationships.

  1. Good example. I sometimes wish guys could act more like the guys in rom-coms, but I don't want to act like many of the women, who often seem like doormats.
