The media portrayal of men has affected our society for many years. The media tends to stunt men’s emotional depth and alter the ways that they are able to express themselves. Men will often turn to violence as a way to express themselves and to make themselves seem tougher than they actually are.

I often question if keeping someone or an acquaintance at arm’s length when trying to get to know them is worth it to be called “emotionless.” I find myself rethinking things over and over again. Multiple questions often swarm my head‚ such as “Am I doing the right thing?” or “Am I not being too closed off?”. Little did I know that I only needed to stop by a cafe and read a book‚ and then I would get my answer. That was until I read about Stoicism‚ a school of thought that teaches the development

guillotine‚ a machine designed to behead its victims‚ is one of the enduring symbols of the French Revolution. In Tale of Two Cities‚ the guillotine symbolizes how revolutionary chaos gets institutionalized. With the guillotine‚ killing becomes emotionless and automatic‚ and human life becomes cheap.
