For the purposes of this debate, there are two approaches to depicting masculinity in teen fiction.

The model approach uses male characters to promote a positive model of masculinity. These characters typically reject harmful traditional expectation of masculinity, and model alternative behaviours, such as being emotionally vulnerable, respecting consent and boundaries, and maintaining healthy relationships. (e.g., Off Campus, etc)

The critical approach uses male characters who embody harmful masculine norms to critically explore them. These characters may demonstrate behaviours such as aggression/dominance, emotional repression, and misogyny. Stories may explore effects on the men themselves and others around them. (e.g., Euphoria, etc)

The Inuit are an Indigenous people primarily living in the Arctic regions of Canada. Their traditional homeland is known as Inuit Nunangat and includes Nunavut (a Territory), Nunavik in northern Quebec, Nunatsiavut in northern Labrador and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Northwest Territories. Their traditional livelihoods combines land-based activities such as hunting and fishing, the use of Inuktut languages, and Inuit community institutions with participation in the wider Canadian economy.

Self-driven learning centers on individual students taking responsibility for their learning, with substantial freedom to set goals, choose learning activities, and progress at their own pace.

Group-driven learning centers on students learning collectively through shared goals, discussion, and collaboration, with an emphasis put on collective learning outcomes, rather than individual learning progress.

In much of South Asia, families have traditionally arranged marriages. Parents find a match, usually within the same caste, religion or community. The goal is a practical life partner who suits one's background and future. Romantic love is expected to come later, if at all.

Matrimonial platforms such as Shaadi.com and BharatMatrimony work like dating apps built for arranged marriage. Young people use them to search for partners themselves. Users can filter matches by caste, religion, income, education and family background.

In a ""self-arranged"" marriage, the individual chooses their own partner. Their criteria may differ from their parents', but the logic is still that of an arranged marriage. They are looking for a suitable life partner, and falling in love is not the immediate goal. The couple usually goes through a courtship period of weeks or months to see if they get along. Families are brought in once things are serious.
