Preliminary Thesis- Metro Sexuality is the real Masculinity
1st supporting detail-Men buy designer jeans so then they can be a part of the image that real men wear expensive designer clothing.
Example- Rockawear's new pair of jeans for their 10 year anniversary collection.
1.Further Detail- The jeans have gold influences incorporated into them to make them look flashy and makes the wearer seem very wealthy.
2.Further Detail- the jeans also make the wearer a walking advertisement because the Rockawear logo is printed multiple times on them.
Analysis- While men think they are now handsome and wealthy with their designer jeans they are unaware that they are now not only an advertisement for the brand but also taking steps towards the metro sexual image.
2nd Supporting point - the real man look is incomplete without rockawear sunglasses.
Example- Sunglasses are usually used to prevent people from looking at you but Rockawear sunglasses does the exact opposite
1.Further Detail- the color and design of the sunglasses have the message of wealthyness.
2. Further Detail- The image has 3 different kinds of sunglasses which s hows that it is not enough to own one pair of the sunglasses.
Analyisis Men must spend more money to be apart of a certain image
3rd supporting point- Inconclusion you must own a pair of rockawear's new sneakers to complete the real man look.
Example-
1.further Detail- The black color resembles one of the colors that rockawear's logo has
2.Further Retail- Like the sunglasses and the jeans the sneakers have the logo imprinted in big bold letters on the sneaker
Analyisis The consumer will feel like wealthy and will become a rockawear costumer and will be more towards the metro sexual look.
self-esteem can be attributed to metro sexuality.it gives men the incentive to become dependent on their looks especially how competitive the social scene has become. as a result men have adopted to new changes to cultivate an image not so much masculine than it is metro.
ReplyDeleteGuadia makes a good point about self-esteem, which is something you might want to consider incorporating into your introduction, along with your thesis, as part of your defintion of metrosexuality? Your three poitns of support are well-selected and the transitions work well, tying the three ideas into a smoot narrative. You might consider using the Quick Write from Friday as a conclusion or introduction in order to comment on how it is more acceptable for men to incorporte feminine qualities (attention to clothes, accessories...) into their definition of masculinity, such as metrosexuality.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your thesis, I think recently more now then ever men have been becoming more concerned with their looks. I also like the analysis about men have to spend a certain amount of money to be looked upon as "real men". Miss B and Guadia do bring up a good point about incorporating confidence into your paper, after all metro-sexuality is about being precieved as the all around clean cut confident guy.

ReplyDeleteI like your thesis. It's very organized and easy to understand. These day they try to make yourself more attractive by being dressed in nice clothes.
