Mayella's comment suggests that for men to be big brave heroes, they have to believe that women are helpless timid victims in need of protection or avenging. According to this logic, proper men have to take Mayella's word over Tom's, or risk having their Man Licenses revoked, because Man has been defined as He Who Protects Women, not as He Who Listens Carefully To All The Evidence And Makes A Rational, Considered Judgment Based On The Facts.…

In the novel Red Badge of Courage, Crane depicted the main character Henry as a callow youth who recently joined the Union army for the sake of his naive conception of heroism plus the quest for honor. Thus, in the beginning, Henry fought along with other comrades during the first battle. Although he bosomed the sentiments as fear and uneasiness, everything was still new to him and it left him no time to react on his guts. However, after the early round of brutality, Henry savvied right enough that the reality and cruelty of the war would eventually end his life therefore he was intimidated, and it led him to flee from the second scene.…
“The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.” (Honore de Balzac). The Chivalric code is a clutter of rules that contradict each other and challenge normal human behavior. These rules of chivalry are predominantly concerned with courage, honor and gentlemen- like- behavior, which play an important role in proving one’s faithfulness to the King. In the poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain proves to be a hero because he continually struggles against his human flaws to act in a heroic manner. Sir Gawain is acknowledged as a chivalric human because he is a courageous man who perseveres through difficult events and faces both human temptation and terror.…
Soldiers coming home from war often have to overcome adversity when dealing with their inability to integrate back into their families and society, as well as coping with the loss of innocence.…
In the novel The Red Badge of Courage, psychological effects of war are further dealt with and examined than the aspect of physical war tactics. The book primarily focuses on one character and struggle: the protagonist Henry’s, constant battle with himself to be courageous. As the story moves forward, Henry is somewhat fighting two battles, one physical and one mentally as he strives to prove his bravery and manhood. It is commonly debated whether or whether not Henry finally succeeds and completes his pursuit for maturity and adulthood by the end of the novel. I think that although Henry’s first notions of what it means to be courageous are arguably illogical and impractical, he grows through experience and reaches maturity at the novel’s conclusion.…
However, in the new culture of the 20th century, the tides begin to change. Instead of men being privileged women now lead in social superiority. This is a result of overcompensation. A specific place where this new gender bias is illustrated, can be found in chapter 18 of To kill a Mockingbird. Mayella Ewell sits before the judge, and tells her alibi (238-254). Because of her feminine touch to the situation the jury end up letting her go. Mayella lied to the jury, and got away with it. Many would say that this was because she was white, but there may have been a twinge of gender bias in the jury’s decision. The reality that gender bias could hurt both men and women is slowly creping up on…
It may not come as a surprise to many that there exists a significant difference in the gender of perpetrators of violent crimes. For example, in tracking the perpetrators of homicide in the United States by gender and year, one can find that males outnumber females many times over, with over 15,000 more males than females committing homicide in the early 1990’s (Fox & Zawiz, 2004). While it seems concreted that males perpetrate more violent acts than females, the data still shows at least 1,000 females a year behind violence. The question that arises from these findings concerns the reason for such a large gap between genders, and what facilitates it. Two popular lenses than can be compared in examining the question lie in the studies of sociological and biological influences on men and women – more specifically what influences women to be so much less violent than men given the statistics. It is important to consider learning experiences, either through natural instincts or facilitated through social means, and the history of individuals among their families. One of the aforementioned lenses has a much larger impact on creating differences in violent dispositions amongst men and women, and there is a vast array of evidence from which to draw upon for support.…
Men are presented to be intelligent and crafty, while women are presented to be unthinking and lack of critical capacity. For instance, during many sequences, Mr. Worthing and Mr. Algernon used craftiness while Mss. Fairfax and Mss. Cecile showing the lack of critical capacity to discover their craftiness. Also, women are presented to be naïve. For instance, Mss. Cecile and Mss. Fairfax could forgive Mr. Algernon and Mr. Worthing without asked them more explanation about their lay.…
Veterans are considered heroes because they fight for our freedom. The veterans don’t have to fight for our freedom, but they do. They risk the lives for us and all we do is disrespect and treat them like they're nothing and yet they still go out there and risk their lives for us.

The military has a patriarchal structure influenced by values such as formality, rank, leadership, loyalty, camaraderie, and emotional control. Priority is placed on masculine ideals, encouraging notions of dominance, aggression, self-sufficiency, and risk-taking. (Honor 2007) The power differential between men and women in the military, owing to its male-dominated leadership and structure, plays an important role in sexual assault. (Turchik 2010) Hyper-masculine men can feel threatened by competent women and men considered weak or effeminate. Women in the military report feeling scrutinized and watched by men, judged as less competent and victimized by their jealousy and anger. (Katz…

In the case study, Sergeant Williams did not make a sound decision because he knew that officer Tibet engaged in extra-marital affairs since his colleagues often referred to him as a Lady's Man. However, Officer Tibet was the best field officer and that the attractive Officer Robert had a lot of common sense and a "no-nonsense" demeanor to flirtatious male officers. Therefore, the sergeant assumed she was not likely to give in to any inappropriate approaches that Officer Tibet would make towards her.…
