media portrayal

I thought the video that we watched today was a little insightful. I do think that women are portayed badly in media these days. They show the world that the only way to be liked is if you're thin, which isn't true. Most normal women have curves, unlike the models that you see the on the covers of magazines. The airbrushed photos that we see everyday on the covers of magazines shape our society in a big way. Young girls who see these photos assume that when they grow up they want to look just like that, fake. I think that this is terrible for our culture especially for young girls. These fake photos show them that to be excepted into soceity you need to be stick thin, wear lots of makeup, and parade aroun d with barely any clothes on. This is not very rolemodel like. I believe that this will just cause a lot more controversy in the future. I think that models in magazines should have more real curves, that aren't airbrushed to show women and girls that this is what you wanna look like, a real person, not a fake barbie. I think that the media does a terrible job at portraying women andI hope that it will soon change.
