Question

Daniel works as a barista at a small coffee house in New York City. He loves his job and his customers love him. He has a very small apartment that he shares with a roommate. His salary allows him to eat at restaurants a few times a month and to visit his sister in another state a couple of times a year. Daniel is mostly satisfied with his life. However, he feels a lot of pressure from his parents, especially his father, to go out and find a job in his college major of economics. Daniel’s father frequently derides the coffee house job and the size of Daniel’s apartment. What theme of masculinity is described here?

Answer 1

Machismo

Step-by-step explanation:

The father make fun of his son because he is not living the life his father think is the correct way.

Macho men usually try to control everyone but in a subtle way. They want other people to do things the way they want justifying their conduct.

In this case, Daniel's father is mocking on him because he doesn't have the lifestyle he would want.
