Coltrane, Scott. "Fathering: Parodoxes, Contradictions, and Dilemmas." Men's Lives (2001):432-449. Print

       This article is about the future fathering of America. In other words the article summarizes how the positions of fathers and fatherhood has varied. Such as men aren't the ones who work and provide for the family, the women are. Basically considering the mothers as the "fathers".
       I think the article is extremely useful and objective. It gives off important facts about parenting and how others look at the situation. Which comes from a line of sources.
       This article will be very helpful towards my topic of fatherhood and masculinity. It discusses the fatherhood proportion and gives a bibliography of plenty other sources.


Daddy Day Care. Dir. Steve Carr. Perf. Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin., 2003
    
       In the movie Daddy Day Care, two men lose their job and are forced to be stay at home parents when they cant find another one. Which hences the idea to open their own day care services. This falls into the speculation of parenting because the fathers have to switch roles. Also masculinity as well because the fathers are looked at as the mothers.
        Daddy Day Care gives off examples of how the men have to cope with being the parents. According to Coltrane men are only in their children's lives financially. I think the information is reliable.
       I think this film is helpful. It hasnt changed how i feel about my topic only enhanced my knowledge of it. it can help with my research because its a different point of view.
      
Hewlett, Barry S. "Culture, History, and Sex: Anthropological Contributions to Conceptualizing Father
        Involvement" Marriage & Family Review and FATHERHOOD: Research Interventions and Policies.
        (2000):59-73. Print   

     This article shows the different aspects of father involvement according to different cultures. It also focuses on wanting there to be an increasement of father involvement. It's conducted by research from all over and other articles. The US society's outlook on fathers is however completely different compared to other cultures. We look at fathers as automatically being there for the child when it is conceived.
     This source is different compared to the other sources im using because, it mainly focuses on the different cultures and how they look at father involvement. While the other sources look at how the fathers are just now becoming involved and taking over the roles of the mothers.
     The article fits into my research because it portrays a different aspect of what im discussing. Neither has this article changed how i feel towards the topic.
