This definition of manhood, which he called the “tough guise,” has detrimental effects on both the victims of men’s violence and on the men themselves, he said. Using clips from documentary films produced by his organization, Jhally

    opportunity to take a deep dive into a certain topic. Some students choose to take one of the new or innovative courses offered on campus that fits their interest.
