After discussing the ideas of the essay and the practical outcome during tutorials, several stages of the investigation could be established. By dividing a timetable plan of the essay, it would be a more efficient way to search for certain elements to include in the essay. This includes looking into different theories of masculinity and the views opposing or supporting the theorists. By doing this, each theory can be validated in terms of its legitimacy. The discussion also led to ideas of innovative approaches and systematic approaches when researching each topic in the essay. This will help to structure the sections of the argument and make it easier to back up certain claims.
