Blog Post 12: Hangover and Grazian
The movie The Hangover and Grazian article "The Girl Hunt Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity" both touch on similar ideas of the friendship men share. Grazian in his article points out the things that males do before going out. They play rap music and "pregame" by making sure they are dress appropiate and have drinks before going out. The guys stick together and help each other pick up girls and have fun with eatch other just "bonding". In Hangover it touches on some of the same ideas Grazian had. Four friends in Vegas for a bachelor party for Doug. Before they went out they got all dress up and Phil even expressed his disapproval of Alan wearing that man purse. All four friends went and "pregamed" having drinks on the roof of the hotel before going out to party. In"The Girl Hunt Urban Nightlife and the Performance of Masculinity as Collective Activity" it says "pregaming is a bonding ritual that fosters social cohension and builds confidence among young men in confidence among young men in anticipation of the challenge that accompany the girl hunt" (326 Grazian) Alan cutting his hand and giving a sppech about them being his friends for life this quote can also apply to Stu because him drinking gave him more confidence he married the stripper and pulled out his tooth because Alan dared him something he wouldn't normally do if he was sober. Grazian also says " the performance of masculinity does not require successfully meeting a potential sex partner as long as one enthusiastically participates in the ritual motions of the girl hunt in the company of men."(326) which in the movie the guys went to the strip club and were looking for hookers together. Like Grazian says men need each other which is proven in The Hangover they needed Phil to drive all over the place, Alan to win the money to get the other Doug back from the chinese guy who helped Stu figure out that Doug was on the roof.

Blogost #8: The Glass Escalator Effect
Men that are in female professions due to being judge and criticized for having a womens job will desire to get a promotion and move on to a higher position. They are also put on this "glass escalator" due to social pressure men are encouraged and pressured to apply for higher positions and are more likely to move up in their job because there's no competition if their in a female profession, also to be in a more dominate position and because men are sometimes perfered. Men seem to have to work harder to stay in the same position then to get a promotion.

Course Reflection
1.The assignment that was fun to do was the blog post because it was your own ideas and there was no right or wrong answer. It was also interesting to see other classmates opinions on the class readings. I learn that there is no one opinion everybody has a different perspective on things.
2.The one assignment I didn't care for was the photo essay because I didn't get the point and I felt there wasn't alot to write about from a photo.
3.Yes, because in case you miss something you could always go back and look at it. Everything was always there on the computer and accessible. It was easier to type on the computer then write by hand.
4. There are no assignments that I would have like to have done.
