Why are men as they are?

Men and women are human beings. Though both species are absolutely different. In these two phrases we can not find out anything new. Indeed men and women are different, but why are men like they are? Men seem to believe that they need to be stronger, more violent, more aggressive, as even, never weep, show weakness or accept a dominant woman. Why then? Unfortunately this fact seems to be associated with the form like we have created our boys.
Since the beginning when a boy is born, he hears a lot of contagious phrases like: "Men do not cry!", "Do not be sissy!", "Men works things out fighting!", "If she wants you should not refuse to have sex!", "Say to her that she is hot!", "If he piss you off, beat him!", "You need to be dominant!", "Be strong, do not show weakness!", "She likes to be treated like that!", and a lot of more. Although some families changed considerable during the last years, some part of these phrases still are heard at them. The history show us that men have been trained to be like they are. The men are charged to act like they have acted.
In fact I am not justifying and saying that men are blameless. I am arguing that since childhood the boys are created to be like they are. Even the fact that many families could consider to be making mistakes, they do not perceive the whole issue like a mistake. Seems like a cultural effect with cultural consequences.
Truly we can have facts out of control. Indeed when a man beats a woman, or rape another one, or shoot in other person, we can not justify with these arguments listed. These acts are insane and we can not relate with the education we give to our children. Even with these exceptions, we should not accept how we have created our boys as being common. Frequently boys go to school trying all the time be strongest, coolest and most popular. Then, to sustain that, a lot of violence, bullying and sorrowful consequences have happened.
Nowadays it is proved that men and women can be equal on a lot of situations. We can see women running companies equal or better than men. We can see women driving even better than men. At other hand, we can see men raise a child equal or better than a women, or also managing a house. Then, why do we carry on creating both absolutely differently? Men and women have natural differences. We do not need raise them differently. We need to educate them with the same love, words, examples, values and attitudes. They will be different for themselves.
Summing up, Frankenstein created a monster and was killed by him. It seems to me that we are dying for our own monster. Men should freely weep, be patient, be polite, be dominated or be sissy if he wants. Instead of what we have seen sometimes, it is beautiful see a man being a truly man and not only a reflection of machismo. If you want to go deep into this subject, watch a good documentary called "The mask you live in". It is not because the things were as we saw in the past that they need to carry on.

A nice week. See you soon.

   

The books and the technology

Recently, I read about the fact that books could be dying. Although the statistics show us that this can be true, it is a sorrowful situation. Unfortunately for people that love books like me, we are seeing the generations forgetting the importance of the knowledge within the books and exchanging the habits almost in 100%, making searches and queries exclusively on internet. It is a sad finding.
In fact, it is almost unavoidable to use internet and the tools nowadays. I am not arguing if this is totally useless. Instead of that, we should find the information, and they come quickly and efficiently on the internet. Frankly, it is more easy and practical to use this kind of technology.
Why do we need books then? The first argument we need to realize is the fact that books have knowledge written a long the time and have the power to teach and prepare the human beings for life. Are there other forms to have knowledge? Of course. Nowadays we have computers, kindles, tablets, i-Pads, i-Phones and many other devices. Although antique people don't have complete interest in some of them, frankly, they also are absolutely important. At the other hand, I also believe to be a mistake see the original books like worthless things. In my point of view, it is incredible to have some books waiting to be read at your bookcase. It is awesome to know that you can find yourself in one good book. You can learn, imagine, to have emotions, and live some hours without technologies and devices to disturb you.
Undoubtedly, I can imagine the people living in the future without books. Without the pleasure to grab some paper with a lot of good words, smelling the old or new pages and having a great deal of time traveling in long texts. Maybe in the future, we will not have the libraries like we have nowadays, or the opportunity to get in one bookstore and spend long hours reading, searching and looking around inside that magnificent place. Although we also have people carrying books nowadays, this scene seems to be inconstantly than in the past. Actually, it is more common to have people handling electronical devices, even sometimes unaware about the others.
Summing up, we lovers of books, what will we do in the future? Maybe fight to avoid the death of our best friend or surrendering to the new technology. Honestly, we will always feel a lack of  an awesome book and to be hopeful with this new world.

Nice week...
