After watching Tough Guise I immediately wanted to pick the subject of men and women’s change of image from 50 years ago to todays images.

the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents‚ the Child Savers had a more optimistic approach in the possibility of reforming youth.

This shows that everything is presented through the idea of a majority viewing a minority. The most striking way Tough Guise brings up the topic of gender
