Unit 2 Reflection

In this past unit, there has been a lot of different topics and ideas but it has all been focused on analysis. This unit was very long but my understanding of analysis, in general, has grown to great lengths. Moreover, some ideas of mine have changed on certain topics after I heavily researched them and after class discussions. Listening to composers talk and hear different perspectives opened my eyes to multiple ideas and topics. Though we have done many different works on analysis, the one piece that was the most significant in my understanding of the analysis was the New Yorker cover. When the assignment was released and I first started to write, I wasn’t analyzing the piece but rather just writing a general summary about it. Then when we came to class and I was told to write as if someone wasn’t to look at it but draw it off of my description, I started to have a better understanding of what analysis was.

What does it mean to be a man or what does it mean to be “The Best a Man Can Be.” This question has been circulating society and the nation especially after the release of the 2019 Gillette razor commercial. A commercial that was supposed to be about change that needs to happen among men and boys on how they treat others was perceived very differently from the public. The idea behind the commercial was to shed light on toxic masculinity, bullying, and sexual harassment through scenes of violence but many men found this to be attacking. They felt that the ad was purely stating that “all men are bad” and that “all men need to change.” The ad was stating that it is time for men to stop making excuses and to renounce the idea that “boys will be boys.” The ad is not “shaving away masculinity” as Fox suggested. Gillette was trying to say that men can choose to go against peer pressure that tells them to act like “real men” through fighting or harassing people, to instead act like "real ...
