The media and women

The way media projects women is a shame. They are not looked at for their strength or smarts; they are simply looked at for their bodies. In the ad above, the women’s breasts are lottery balls; they even cut off her face because that part of her body is not important. This is a very typical example of how women can be looked at as objects, and not as people. A sexual object of amusement is all that this ad displays, and in today’s society no one even thinks twice about it. It is normal, and the worst part of it is women themselves will start viewing their own selves as the same thing. They quickly realize growing up in this day and age that it doesn’t matter to most people how nice you are, or how smart you are, or how hard you work, the size of your breasts matter, and the clothes you wear matters. Women will look at other women and judge them bases off of what a woman is "supposed" to look like. Men are no better, they start seeing beauty and what the media defines it by. Skinny, light skinned, tall, clear skin, straight hair. The natural beauty of the woman will be overlooked because the glam of the television women and the photo shopped magazine women are much more appealing. Regardless of if it is unrealistic, the media has the majority of women wanting to look a certain way, and the men want to be with someone who looks that certain way. all the pressure on women to be "beautiful" is causing mental and physical issues. all the plastic surgeries, all the dieting, all the makeup, all the right clothes, will never be good enough to a woman whose self esteem is lowered day after day after day of being subject to the unreal women on the television. Men will look at women in the wrong light and have no respect for them if they believe what they see on the TV.
