      The world is chaning all the time because of the improvement of technology and the high speed of information spread. So we always learn something new, and something is not always static. Traditionally, men in our mind are strong and powerful in sex and social work. But like this article presents, men can be weak and passive. This change breaks the conventional male image and social and cultural role.
  • "Some guys still try to be manly and try to be like strong and stuff, but you know personally I'm not afraid to show my vulnerability because being vulnerable or being sensitive is not a weakness."

      These men are confident to show their weakness, so it is kind of personality and characteristics among human beings today. People would not like to hide themselves and to follow the traditional rule. They have more freedom to present their real personality. Therefore, as we can see, even though they are sensitive and passive, they are happy and comfortable with that. I have to say, it is the society the world we live with, in which people can have multiple faces, attitudes, identities and personalities.

  • Whether it is religion, environmentalism or nonprofit charities, the Chinese government has always been wary of any organized activity it cannot directly control.

    even though Chinese government try the best to govern the mass media but sometimes it is hard to give the restriction on online information because of its fast speed of spread and a large amount of information.
