The ever to Evolving in the Male The male role model has changed dramatically, from a man who once would give anything for his family's while being, to a man who would abandon his obligation as a father and husband. Usually with time things change for the better, but with this subject we see ourselves approaching what seems to be a endless pit of husbands, fathers, workers, and role models. who do not take responsibilities for their actions as much as they once did. It is a travesty and time for a change, the change for the better. It is the 1970s, men are going to work to provide for their families. Coming home each evening to put the bread on the table. The sole purpose was to take care of his wife, by always being faithful and helping her though any tough times that may arise. Today we find ourselves shaking their heads at what some men have become. It hurts to see the husband who cannot sustain a lifestyle that once was provided by earlier generations. Every day we hear of men who were too lazy to work a 9 to 5 job, even if it means that the providing safety and security for the woman he loves. But rather, in some cases, claim to love the woman, that he mentally and physically abuse is on a daily basis. A innocent child, brought into world, where there once was a loving father there to care for them, now a mother who is forced to play the role of two parents. There is a huge increase of men not taking care of their children, compared to any time period in the past. The lack of responsibility reflects a child's personality, and overall who they will become. In most cases it also takes away from the time a mother can spend with their child, because she is forced to be a mother and a fulltime provider. It has almost become acceptable to become a man abandoned a mother, and child he brought into this world. Whereas years ago, you would've been considered a downright nasty man, who deserves nothing but a tombstone to put above his grave. Any job that brings money home to the family, should motivate a good man to stick with that job, no matter how stressful, hard, or time consuming it may be. This is one of the many problems we face with some of the male population today. A man of the past, would not even take into account the type of job, as long as it brought money home. It's unfortunate to see men who think that they are too good for certain job, not to mention, that a lot of them are not even on time for the jobs that they are able to hold onto. Laziness has become an addiction that is no longer just effecting home life, but the entire economy. Everybody looks up to a man, no matter the age, you're bound to see what generations of the past are bestowing on one. The great example of this is, the acceptability of swearing in today's society. This is just one of many small things that men effect. Men are not all to blame, but even in today's world they are looked up to as leaders and breadwinners. And it's time for them to realize the power that they have towards the world as whole. Men can be great when responsibility is taken, but when this balance becomes out of line, it can lead to a great demise. The husband, who treats his wife with no respect, could always improve to a kindhearted loving man. The father, who neglects his child or downright abandons them, will hopefully see the errors of his ways, and attempt to connect with the child who desperately needs him. The man who complains about his job, possibly he will become grateful through some type argument. And lastly, men as role models, will hopefully see how much power they have on affecting how our younger generations will act.
