Pleck, "If Men Could Menstruate" by Gloria Steinem, and "Men's Initiation Rites" by Robert Bly. This paper analyzes each of these works in relation to men and gives a personal view point of what everyone can learn from these works.

Abstract
This paper reviews David Bus' chapter "Men Want Something Else," in which he writes about the criteria men apply when choosing a mate. He argues that men worldwide, in every culture, and throughout history, apply similar criteria when choosing a mate. Essentially, Buss argues that men choose mates who are fertile, which, he posits, explains why men always prefer younger, attractive mates. Buss argues that this is something that has evolved over thousands of years of evolution, such that it is now an instinctive way of thinking that is shared by both heterosexual and homosexual men.

Abstract
This paper examines how the role of men within the family and society has changed over the past two decades. The paper gives a brief history of men's traditional role, based both on physical stature and societal expectations. The author then examines the impact of the feminist movement and men taking on more traditionally female roles in the workplace and at home. The author acknowledges that some men may not be accepted for accepting non-traditional jobs and roles at home. The author concludes that men need to discover for themselves how best to bridge the gap between traditional expectations and current social acceptance.

From the Paper
"What most people consider the traditional roles of the American man seem to be rooted in the generations of the two World Wars (Lindsay, 2005). Lindsay (2005) describes the role of the "Great American Alpha Male" as "husband, breadwinner, father and warrior" who "returned from saving the world to two-car garages and suburban malaise" (p. 1). Such men had the identity of male made for them and knew what was expected of them. They completed their education, fought in the wars of their country, settled down with a wife as soon as they could support one, and raised a family. Once married, they stay married. They provided for their family under nearly all circumstances and protected them from harsh societal issues and world events. (Lindsay, 2005). This is clearly not today's man."

Abstract
The paper discusses how men and women use different words to refer to the same concept primarily because women are situated in a different place in society and view the world differently from men. The paper explains that Danesi (117) holds that "in some societies, grammatical gender often mirrors perceptions of biological gender roles". The paper argues that in every case where men and women are using words to refer to one concept, the biological gender role is at work. The paper looks at how Agadjanian (198) explains that the "patterns of men's social interaction are rooted in the dominant social organization and division of labour".

Abstract
The paper relates that the Men's Wearhouse (the Wearhouse) is a well-known men's clothing retailer focusing on suits and formal wear, and the company is currently facing a difficult time in the clothing industry with other competitors such as Today's Man, Gentry's, and K&G either in financial distress or facing consolidation. The paper explains that the chain was founded by George Zimmer with the initial stores located in the San Francisco Bay area and eventually moving its headquarters to Houston, Texas and Fremont, California. The paper relates that by 1995, the chain had established 315 unique locations and 345 by the end of 1996. The Wearhouse's strategy is primarily founded upon the concept that men do not like to shop and therefore its entire business model is centered around the idea that men want to come in, get what they need and then get out. The paper posits that the Wearhouse depends on its incredibly loyal staff that feels a personal attachment to the chain's founder, Zimmer and its human resources (HR) policies underlined much of its corporate strategy.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the oppression of men through the study of characters and their experiences in two literary works, 'Romeo and Juliet' by William Shakespeare and' M. Butterfly' by David Henry Hwang. According to the paper, it has been argued that violence against women is only one corner of a triad of men's violence. It further states that the other two corners are violence against other men and violence against themselves. The paper concludes that the three corners of the triad reinforce one another. This paradigm is shown in the literary works that are cited in the paper.

From the Paper
"This paper will analyze the oppression of men through the study of characters and their experiences in two literary works, "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare and "M. Butterfly" by David Henry Hwang. Kaufman (1987) argues, "violence against women is only one corner of a triad of men's violence", and that "the other two corners are violence against other men and violence against themselves" and that "the three corners of the triad reinforce one another". Masculinity is fragile because it is socially constructed and men have to struggle everyday against anything within themselves that many be perceived as not masculine: anything..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that as more and more women have entered the paid workforce, one might expect that men would take on an increasing share of the housework and childcare. The writer discusses that while there has been some change in this area, domestic labor is still regarded by many as "women's work," and men do not participate sufficiently.

From the Paper
"After all, the rationale for women doing almost all of this used to be that the domestic sphere was their sphere, while the paid workforce outside of the home was the male sphere. As this is no longer the case, one could reasonably expect that men would be sharing housework and childcare equally. However, while ..."

Abstract
The paper details about the cigarette smoking health effects in men. It shows how cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of premature death in the United States and gives the facts and figure (data & tables), for proof. It also examines the effects on fertility in men and different diseases caused by smoking.

From the Paper
"Causing more than 400,000 deaths each year, tobacco usage is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Additionally, the direct medical costs amount more than $50 billion per year. More people are harmed and killed by smoking every year than they die of alcohol, drug abuse, AIDS, murders, car crashes, fires, and suicides. Nationally, more than 5 million years of potential life are lost each year as a result of smoking. Every day, nearly 3,000 young people under the age of 18 become regular smokers. Approximately 80% of adult smokers start smoking before the age of 18. Furthermore, approximately five million children presently living will die prematurely because of the decision to smoke cigarettes at adolescence."
