Masculinity is a culturally defined attribute that is expected to exist in men. What exactly masculinity is varies from culture to culture and is taught to young men by a variety of sources. The most universal source of education about masculinity, or manliness, is the family. The parents of a child, in most circumstances mainly the father but sometimes primarily the mother, will be the ones who hold the most influence over what he thinks concerning how he should live his life. Children often learn by observing and by watching his father a young boy learns how he is expected to live. Depending on how integrated his family is into the society he can also be taught by other men from his environment and there may even be institutionalized education that he goes through to confer upon him the knowledge that society thinks he needs concerning manhood. Many societies also portray for the developing generation how a man should be through what they consider to be ideal role models from history and myths such as Beowulf, King Arthur, Hercules, or Genghis Khan (he is basically an icon for Mongolian children). The attributes of these role models are as varied as the cultures that they represent and even the focus of what made the man masculine was changes with time as the society changes its definition for masculinity. In more recent American culture masculinity as defined for the vast majority of men is focused less on societal needs and more on self centered protection of an appearance of masculinity.
