Week 6

1)The main idea of this article is to show how media tells women how they should look at themselves and others and what they can get if they look like the media tells them to.
2)The medias reason for the way they show off women is to sell just about any product possible. Products such as beer, cars, diet programs, foods, etc.You cant look at a single magazine today without finding at least one picture of a extremely thin model promoting something. Media also try's to convince women that if they do what they say and look like they portray women to look than they will have a perfect marriage, sex life, loving kids, and a successful rewarding carrer.
3)Researcher's generated a computer simulated a model of a women with barbie doll proportions to show that it is physically impossible to be that thin and look like that. Being unnaturally thin is unhealthy and for you to be even close to it you are hurting yourself by eating or not eating to get there.
4)I think women should be portrayed for who they really are not for what media makes them to be. Its like living behind close door's or living each day as Halloween. People aren't being themselves except for in there own homes and still people hide and act the way they think they are suppossed to. Each day they dress up in fancy clothes trying to impress people, trying to make themselves look good like they will win a prize or something, its just like halloween. It is the same concept you dress up trying to look the scariest or cutest in order to get candy or money. People need to wake up and be who they are dress how they want to and act how they want to stop listening to everyone else as a hippie would argue dont let the man bring you down.
