What are the social expectations of men in American Society today?

Answer 1

The social expectations of men in America are the very expectations that an American man expects of himself. All cultural expectations are integrated into individuals as they grow and develop within their culture. Some expectations are commonly known, while others are deeply embedded within a person's subconscious thoughts.

Many American men feel as though making money is an important social expectation. Also considered important is masculinity, athleticism, and heterosexuality. Not all men will fit the American social norm. Therefore, it is important to recognize that social expectations are not necessarily good and they do not necessarily value a man's character and self worth. Knowing this allows a person to more constructively evaluate oneself. While it is probably impossible to completely disregard social expectations, knowledge and education can allow a person to consider social expectations relative to their true importance.

Answer 2

American women have expectations in relationships that are a complete mirror of American consumer culture. American women increasingly see relationships and family members as tools to manipulate or replace based upon their whims and aspirations. American women are becoming, generally, shallow and wanton in a way that typically steals energy from anyone that becomes involved with them.
