The Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony started off with the guest speaker, Mr. Rahul Roy delivering a speech on masculinity and its impact on a man’s surroundings and society, most commonly in the form of violence and power. The opening ceremony of Pathways School Noida’s Resonance 2015 continued with a profound set of statements, based on masculinity that were exchanged between the students and the guest speaker. His statements highlighted the various surroundings and environments that demand a man to exhibit the different traits of himself which include being tough, approachable, protecting and powerful. Mr. Roy’s views formed many questions in the minds of the students which were entertained by him in a good spirit. These questions were as diverse as the audience of students who came from different schools.
Being an individual who was extensively engaged in depicting masculinity through different means of media like films and books, Mr. Rahul Roy delivered an unforgettable speech which had a strong impact on the students. He increased the span of our knowledge on masculinity due to a deep evaluation of its symptoms and the concept itself. The balanced arguments in Mr. Rahul Roy’s speech further strengthened its impact on the young audience and played a significant role in clearing the mental cobwebs of masculinity among individuals, especially among the students and the teachers. Finally Mr. Rao ended his speech by stating the role of masculinity that creates a ‘sense of entitlement and power’ for the male gender, leaving the audience with a profound thought to ponder on.
