Boys Look Up To Men in Tiny Short Shorts ...Wait What ?

During class this week we watched a film that followed the inside background of professional wrestling, otherwise known as WWE smack down to many .  .As I watched the film I thought I knew what was always shown on WWE, a typical obnoxious guy would appear in the loud stadium and strutting themselves down a catwalk in tiny short shorts, while loud rock music and firework explosions follow their every step.  I wonder how a guy can simply enjoy this without feeling a sense of being uncomfortable.

It reminds me of all the times in middle school when a guy did something that was portrayed as "gay" they would immediately shout ”No Homo"!  When meant that no homosexual activity was going on.   And even back then when I didn’t fully understand about gays or lesbians it’s amazing how in professional wrestling you could roll around all sweaty with a guy and parade around in short shorts and it’s the most masculine thing in the world, yet in middle school or even the real world if a guy gives another guy a hug or says that he loves him he immediately says "No Homo".
What's the difference I understand its pure entertainment but how can you be entertained?   Some of the skits on the WWE program make you wonder why am I watching this?  I seriously don't understand how some of the females on the show who were the portrayed girlfriends and the wives of the wrestlers would listen and obey a man who wore tiny short shorts and wrestle around with a guy as his career.
As I watched the show I know it’s my personal opinion but it definitely makes you think maybe I'm just  over thinking this or should change my channel immediately?



p.s. oh yeah did you know Vince McMahon was fired ?

Money Can't Buy You Class

In our class today we began to watch the film called "Class Dismissed” which gave a basic overview of how social class and working class were portrayed in the television shows throughout the 1950’s to the present decade.

The film began by showing basic background of how society views the different working classes. Many families who were classified as working class would see products advertised on TV and would purchase them so that can be portrayed as middle class and that would make them feel happier and carefree. In addition throughout the film I noticed that social class was not as highly recognized as in working class. In the film during the early decades if you presented yourself a certain way then people assumed you were middle class or higher. But in today’s society it’s not about what you know but who you know, in other words " status".
A prime example of status in social class is the television show "Gossip Girl". Gossip Girl is a fantastic teen drama that shows how important class and status is New York City. Even though the television show is about teens it also depicts how society plays a major role in class.  The teens in this show have different social background although they all attend the same school and interact with each other.

In conclusion status is not based on race, color, or age I feel as though status will evolve will become much bigger as the years progress on.
