Magazines along with movies try and perceive classic versions of manhood and being a man, however, based on living situations and the time in which a man is being looked at. There is a quote, that says, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy." This quotation, along with others that include, "The significance of a man is not in what he attains but in what he longs to attain."
