Tough Guise II

The video analysis papers are designed to help you think more deeply and critically about the readings and lectures in the context of a specific case. Your analysis papers should NOT be a summary of the video/course readings. Rather, you should focus on critically evaluating and applying one or two key concepts, themes, findings, or theories from the readings to the film. To that end, your paper should include an arguable thesis that takes a clearly identifiable position about the applicability, utility, or explanatory power of the sociological concept(s) you are citing in your analysis. The best analyses will connect with readings we have done in past weeks to identify larger, overarching themes in the readings over the semester. Video analysis papers that fail to cite the course readings will receive no better than a “D” grade. The book I want you to relate the movie to will be Michael Kimmel \”The gendered society\” Anything in Kimmel dealing with masculinity.
