Week 6 Assignment

It is about how the media gives the image that the ideal woman should be thin inorder to be perfect. Also they have to go on diets, take diet pills, & get lipo suction to look beautiful with is not true!

2. What reason is given in the reading to explain the images of women in the media?

the media's image of women are tall, thin, & young.

3. Why did the researchers generate a computer model of Barbie-doll proportions?

They did this because they wanted the people to that barbie isnt basic on a real woman, but based on wat media portrays a woman to look like!

4. Write a paragraph describing the way YOU think women should be portrayed in the media.

In all reality i think woman should b portrayed just they way they are. meaning the way they are in real life not in the imaginations of the media! This mite sound cheesey, but most people dont realize that the imperfections of a woman are usually the best qualities of a woman. Especially the differences in all women, because you dont want all women to be the same; there would be no diversity at all.

The answer to question 2 should be why the media sells us this bill of goods. I really liked your comment about the imperfections being the best part!
