If people can change the way in which we live by, like changing the word of masculinity then maybe violence will eventually come to a stop. It would reduce significantly and if we can change the train of thought by enforcing that a man touching a man will be considered "gay' then violence will soon cease to exist. My interviewee states that we are really comfortable for a man to touch a man that this is the reason in which violence occurs. So if we change the train of thought, violence will slowly disappear.

On December 16th, 2014 I conducted an interview with a 92 year old male World War 2 veteran. The interviewee was prompted to the change in dynamics regarding women serving in the Armed Forces. During his time, women served in a limited capacity compared to what we see today. The military has adapted considerably in the last 70 years, opening up combat roles to women, ect. The interviewee was asked if women served aboard ships and bases alongside him. He stated that women did not serve on board ships, including medical positions. According to him, there existed a women corps called "Waves" in the Navy in which women filled secretarial positions, not combat positions. He added there were nurses in the Waves, but they served on bases, not combat deployed ships. When asked how people in his time would react to Waves serving on board ships he felt that society would be against it because at the time women were perceived to be weaker than men, that they couldn't handle the mental stresses of combat.

The interview question that I asked was whether or not friendships are better for men or are they better for women. He stated that it was better for men to have men friendships because women get their feelings involved into most of the situations which always causes conflict. I asked him which friendships do you think last longer? He said that men's because of his personal experience. He had a friend for 13 years now and from what he seen from women, it was entirely not the same.

The question that was asked was if whether of not it is nature or nurture that creates a female or a male. What I have come to understand from this is that my interviewee stated that he thinks it is a little of both. It id some what biological and somewhat having to do with the environment one grows up with. He gave an example of his mother, that his mother is not really feminine and has some masculine attitudes.

On 12/16/14 I conducted an interview with an 18 year old male college student. The interviewee was asked if he felt that men and women experienced religion differently. He felt that yes they did because they had different views and goals in society. In regards to how they're different he added that males and females have different roles within the family unit. Females are often more nurturing, providing the moral basis in which children are taught. Males are considered the breadwinner. Probing further, I asked whether how males and females have different roles in society formulate how they experience church. For example. males may be more inclined to skip church because they may have to work that day while on the other hand women have an obligation to attend church regularly.

On 12/17/14 I conducted an interview with a female college student on whether or not men and women attending college handle academic stress differently? For example, in one of my courses there is a female student who's always asking me for help before exams. I noticed that she stressed getting that "A"grade in everything she took. Her biggest concern was that her notes were never good enough and upon reviewing them I discovered that she covered more details than I did. After providing that example to the interviewee she went on to add that the reason men and women handle stress differently is because Women have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition in the professional world then men do. Men, can afford to slack off and get lower grades at times because they enter a workforce that operates under the invisibility of masculinity. Women are likely so stressed over their academics because they subconsciously understand that the glass ceiling is more prevalent to them.
Graves Participation Interview
In this interview, I talked to a teenage female. I asked her the question, "How do you see people 'doing gender' in society?" I asked her if she saw men and women acting a certain way because they were supposed to. She replied that she thinks a lot of where we learn how to act comes from our parents. As we grow up, we figure out there are certain things society expects males and females to do and how to behave. She went on to say that although there is a pressure, everyone should have the freedom to act the way they feel that they want to. She said just because we are women, doesn't mean we have to sit up straight and be pretty all the time. You can be you and still be feminine or a lady. The same goes for men. Being masculine doesn't mean you can't cry. When we talked about her family life, she explained that growing up with all boys gave her interest in what some people might call masculine things. She was into cars and building things. That was normal for her and she said people would be surprised she knew such things. Her point of view was that to be feminine doesn't mean you can't be interested in masculine. There can be a balance.

Graves Participation Interview
In this interview, I asked my interviewee if they had ever experienced gender inequality. My interviewee was a 17 year old female, and because of her young age, I think, she told me she had not really experienced much gender inequality. Instead, she mentioned that she had experienced favoritism among her own gender. When I asked her about her background and family, she told me that growing up with three older brothers had given her different experience. I asked if she had experienced favoritism or different treatment inside her family, being the only girl. She replied that being the youngest sibling and only girl, the parenting was definitely more relaxed with her. They would think of her as just the little, innocent girl. She was automatically given more grace, thought of as innocent, and in need of protection, just because she was a girl. Now I wouldn't call this gender INEQUALITY; more like favoritism. I see this happening a lot in families with only one female child.

For this participation I interviewed a Caucasian female who is 25 years old and is a criminology student here at Fresno State. We talked about friendships and what we look for in a friend. When it comes to finding a new friend, there is no way to really go about it. She just keeps her mind open for someone who wants to hang out and go watch a movie and eat too much candy. For my interviewee, age does not matter, however she says that she is not friends with any one in high school any longer because they are just two different worlds at this time. When it comes to marital status she stated that she loves married couples as friends because you get two in one and they are both likely to help you find someone that will also bring out the best qualities in you. She does not discriminate on race or social class either. To her, these are not even relevant when she thinks of meeting new people. They are just characteristics, not qualifications.

For this participation I interviewed a 19 year old Caucasian male who is a student at Fresno State. This interview took place on December 18, 2014 in the Atrium at Fresno State. We talked about women in the workplace and the pay gap that we see in society. He was not aware of the pay gap so he was very shocked when he was made aware that women generally only make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. He believes that everyone should be paid equally because they are doing the same work. It shouldn't matter what gender you are as long as you are doing a good job. He also believes that we see men in high positions because as a society we see them as strong and independent. Women are seen as weak and emotionally unstable. Society has created a sort of norm that a man is the one that holds the power. We are just used to the idea of having a man in power and people do not like change.

I interviewed a 21 year old Caucasian male about whether or not he thinks gay marriage should be allowed, legally. He responded with a firm no saying that he does not think its a marriage. He explained that he considers it homo sexual relationship, and theres nothing wrong with having a relationship like this, but to label it a marriage would be wrong. He grew up in a traditional Catholic family, and religion for him says that marriage is supposed to be between a male and female. He said having a gay relationship should not be banned from any state, but marriage would not make sense. http://icati.catishack.com/uploads/Karanvir/Karanvir-18184366582-20141219-1418950793.287.mp3

I interviewed my respondent about death penalty and how he felt about it. He told me that in the beginning he was all for it, that people who committed a crime be sentenced. Now he has a bit more moderate view, saying that the death penalty should only happen on people that committed inexcusable, serious crimes. The eye for an eye philosophy is something he agrees upon saying that its only right that not just the victim and there family feel pain. He believes that the death penalty should be legal in all fifty states, but there should be severe restrictions. http://icati.catishack.com/uploads/Karanvir/Karanvir-18184366582-20141219-1418950658.286.mp3

I interviewed my interviewee about how he felt about the Ferguson indictment and events surrounding it. My respondent replied by saying he didnt know which side to take. There was way too much conflicting evidence he said, in both directions which makes it much difficult to determine whether or not one side the right one or not. He did say however, that the riots occurring were inexcusable and made no sense because this also people living out in the bay with bans on some activities. Marisa Diaz

there is not doubt that the idea of gender and gender inequality is seen everywhere however when you think of eduction you would hope to find that everyone has an equal playing ground. Today I conducted an interview and the question was "in class settings do you think teachers have different gender expectations for students" my interviewee stated something interesting when she discussed the math levels. In class we discussed how in the class room males do better in math however my interviewee brings up a study was done and although males are seen to be smarter and do better in math that is not necessary true because women also score high in english as well as math. Although she sees a difference in the way males and females are treated in class she feels that there should not be a given set of expectations.

How can we transform the meaning of masculinity in society so that it is no longer equated with violence?
The interviewee believes that to change the meaning would have to start at an early age for a child. It would require to change the programing of television shows. He mentioned how his nephew likes to play to be a ninja turtle to kill the bad guys. He says then that not only do kids replay the scenes but they also take them to extremes like his nephew. The kids are developing a desire to fight violence when it really did not existed. So then that are those who want be the criminals and at the end kids grow playing the roles in real life. The solution perhaps is then to not teach masculinity to kids! It is natural that the kids will interact with those other kids who have or are being masculinized but at least it is a start.

today I conducted an interview which focuses on the ideas of the double stander between men and women. My interviewee automatic discussed the ideas of how women see other women and how men see other men. She takes account of the Carol's Jr. commercials and states when women see this with these girls breast hanging out they feel offended and criticize these women telling them that showing of there body is wrong yet when men do it it is perfectly fine. She brings up the idea that women seem to get more angry bout women who do such commercials because in reality no women ever looks like that, kind of like the ideas of the gender myths.

today I conducted an interview which focuses on the ideas of romance the question was "Who is more romantic -- men or women? Who is more likely to believe in the ideal of romantic love? Who is more likely to believe in love at first sight? Who tends to fall in love quicker? According to research, the answer to each of these questions, is men. Why does our society perceive women as more romantic, when the research shows that men are more romantic? " my interviewee stated that was a good question she herself never understood why women are seen as being the most romantic compared to guys, however if she had to look at it should would have to say the idea its because men are to be looked at as these people who are strong and masculine and when showing feeling like love and affection it isn't seen as a masculine quality, yet it is okay for women to be seen as sensitive because well "women are okay to show emotion".

in today class session the question we discussed was 'how can we transform the meaning of masculinity in society so that it is not equated with violence ? My Interviewee believed that it would be a difficult process to began to change the way society connects to masculinity wih violence, however she feels that media plays a huge role on how masculinity is connected to violence and the only way to began to change it is to change the way people portray masculinity within the media. Because the idea that the media has a huge impact on the way society acts, and media gives the okay for men t o be violent.

I asked my interviewee on how he would change the definition of masculinity to a better, more neutral definition and he replied that definition today involves men being displayed as overpowered. There is competition and certain tradition that a male should follow to be considered a man. So to fix this, he said you need to change the definition to where there is no pre-standard or traditon. He explained a man should just be allowed to do what he feels like doing. He also said that educating people is a solution, and having influential people talk about the issue would bring about more awareness.
