It is also observed in countries such as Argentina,Canada, France, Greece, India, Ireland, Mexico, Pakistan,Singapore, South Africa, and Venezuela. In Australia andNew Zealand Father’s Day is on the first Sunday inSeptember. In Thailand it is celebrated on December 5,which is the birthday of the country’s king.

On Father’s Day many people make a special effort fortheir fathers or father figures. Some people visit theirfathers, while others give cards, flowers or other gifts, suchas clothing or sporting equipment, or luxury food items. Father's Day is a relatively modern holiday, so differentfamilies have different traditions. These can range from asimple phone call or greetings card to large partieshonoring all father figures in an extended family. Fatherfigures can include fathers, step-fathers, fathers-in-law,grandfathers, great-grandfathers and even other malerelatives.
Father's Day in India is a relatively new concept but it iscelebrated in similar ways as in the United Kingdom or theUnited States, although on a smaller scale.
There is a greater awareness of Father’s Day events inmetropolitan cities and bigger towns due to the greaterexposure of people to the western cultures in these areas.In Mexico Father’s Day is referred to as “Día del Padre”,where many families get together, prepare meals anddistribute gifts to fathers or father figures. In South Africa,many social and cultural societies host Father's Daycelebrations to stress the important role of fathers innurturing children and building stronger society.

The Making of a ManNot only is June 21 Father’s Day, but June is Men’s Health Month. All June long, we are asked to honor the men in our lives:dads, husbands, brothers, and uncles. Ironically, research suggests that men may be unsure of how best to honor themselves,partly because some men are questioning traditional definitions of manhood.
The strong silent type. A man of action and not words. The breadwinner. The jock. The buffoon. All of these are commonmale stereotypes. And while working hard, enjoying sports, and joking around are certainly positive qualities, somepsychologists argue that American society tends to overemphasize qualities of toughness, self-reliance, material wealth, andemotional detachment in boys and men.
Qualities such as willingness to compromise, showing vulnerability, expressing emotions, and nurturing others are viewed asfeminine and signs of weakness. This wasn’t always so. In the late 19th century, men were expected to be compassionatecaretakers. But when the bulk of men’s work moved from the homestead to the factory, masculine ideals began to shift. Infact, the Boy Scouts were founded in 1910 to reinforce those qualities of loyalty, courteousness, and kindness that werefeared to be lost. Many men today share similar fears.
Groups of men all across the country, such as Philadelphia’s Masculinity Action Project and the global ManKind Project, areattempting to promote “healthier masculinity.” They hope to keep all of the positive traits of manliness while throwing outcharacteristics that are harmful. While some critics have gone so far as to call this a “war” on traditional masculinity, many menin these groups feel better about themselves: they have better relationships, stronger core values, and better mental health. These men are not only becoming, in theireyes, better men but they are becoming better humans.
Furthermore, when these men understand and define what makes them positive male role models, they are better equippedto pass those traits along to younger generations.

La fabricación de un hombreNo solo es el 21 de junio Día del Padre, sino que junio es el Mes de la Salud de los Hombres. Durante todo el mes de junio,se nos pide que honremos a los hombres en nuestras vidas: padres, esposos, hermanos y tíos. Irónicamente, la investigaciónsugiere que los hombres pueden no estar seguros de cuál es la mejor manera de honrarse a sí mismos, en parte porquealgunos hombres cuestionan las definiciones tradicionales de virilidad.
El tipo fuerte y silencioso. Un hombre de acción y no palabras. El sostén de la familia. El deportista. El bufón. Todos estos sonestereotipos masculinos comunes. Y aunque trabajar duro, disfrutar del deporte y bromear son cualidades positivas, algunospsicólogos sostienen que la sociedad estadounidense tiende a enfatizar demasiado las cualidades de dureza, autosuficiencia,riqueza material y desapego emocional en niños y hombres.
Las cualidades como la disposición a comprometerse, mostrar vulnerabilidad, expresar emociones y nutrir a otros seconsideran femeninas y signos de debilidad. Esto no siempre fue así. A fines del siglo XIX, se esperaba que los hombresfueran cuidadores compasivos. Pero cuando la mayor parte del trabajo de los hombres se trasladó de la granja a la fábrica,los ideales masculinos comenzaron a cambiar. De hecho, se fundaron los Boy Scoutsen 1910 para reforzar esas cualidades de lealtad, cortesía y amabilidad que se temía perder. Muchos hombres hoycomparten miedos similares.
Grupos de hombres en todo el país, como el Proyecto de Acción de Masculinidad de Filadelfia y el Proyecto global ManKind,están tratando de promover una "masculinidad más saludable". Esperan mantener todos los rasgos positivos de la virilidadmientras descartan características que son dañinas. Si bien algunos críticos han ido tan lejos como para llamar a esto una"guerra" contra la masculinidad tradicional, muchos hombres en estos grupos se sienten mejor consigo mismos:tienen mejores relaciones, valores fundamentales más fuertes y mejor salud mental. Estos hombres no solo se estánconvirtiendo, a sus ojos, en mejores hombres, sino que se están convirtiendo en mejores humanos.
Además, cuando estos hombres entienden y definen lo que los hace modelos masculinos positivos, están mejor equipadospara transmitir esos rasgos a las generaciones más jóvenes.
