Especially in Western culture, there is a universal idea that "big boys do not cry". This is a social attitude that I have been pouring on boys to hope to 'stick' to male images, to suppress feelings. University of California professor Tom Lutz appeared in the late nineteenth century when the factory owner did not encourage men to cry because men hated crying and decreased productivity. According to research published in Journal of Male and Male Temperament Psychology, it is interesting to note that the crying football player reports a higher level self-esteem on the other side of the spectrum. They do not care much about the pressure of their companion, and they can cry in front of their teammates. This provides an interesting perspective for suppressing the influence of emotions; it looks like a male stands in front and looks outdone while suffering in mind. So how is this possible? How can we shed tears as well as water?

Tom Lutz: When choosing the name "Los Angeles Book Review", we know that it is a little steam punk - this is the name of a traditionalist and means a commitment to the future. Most editors are here, but among them are contributors including Istanbul, Cairo, Japan, and those living in Poland. At a certain level, we are satisfied that we can express the way of thinking of the region. For example, we have a relationship of cultural hierarchy with the West Coast and are more Pacific than the Atlantic. However, from the first day, we grew readers in 140 countries, 150 countries and 50 provinces and became international presence, with more readers abroad than California in the first few months.
