It is right to say that most teenagers ( mostly boys) who are speculators of WWE are very vulnerable and strongly influenced by what they are being shown by TV shows like WWE. That is why to some extent I do agree with Jackson Katz when he makes the point that; the problem is not that the young boys are trying to do the stunts at home or they are dressing up like their idols and superstars. The main problem is that the show is painting a picture targeting little kids of what“real men” prevail or in another words "Are children learning that taunting, ridiculing, and bullying define masculinity?" For kids like me and many more who were strong supporters of WWE it was rather more important to mock their actions and look like them then to understand what message was being sent behind the shows. Now that I have a clearer understanding about what message tags along the most speculated TV show like WWE. Maybe now I can look back and see how negatively it affected my childhood and be able to recognize that some of my actions were wrong. Just like the show rubbed on many kids it did on me too. After all they are powerful figures resembling strength and muscularity two characteristic that man should posses in order to be a called a “Man”.
