PART ONE


Men has shaped our

thought to believing

that size and image

of a women should

be a resemblance to

the American

beauty doll,

“Barbie”


Question?

What is the ideal size,does a man or the media have

the right to determine a woman’s look?


The media provides a significantly influential context for people to learn about body ideals and the value

placed on being attractive.


Beauty comes in many different sizes, shapes and color.

Increase pressure from men and the media on women’s body as create an increase in body dissatisfaction and eating disorder.


“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a

woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her

perfect imperfection. To me that is the true essence of

beauty”-Steve Maraboli


Society has shape the thoughts of men to believe that the ideal

women is slender with big breast and buttocks or equally

proportionate body parts, with long hair, captivating eyes and

succulent lips.

One the other hand, there are some men who are open minded and place less emphasis on a woman’s outward appearance.

Not all men have the same perception of a woman’s body

image as the media would insist.

PART TWO


The increase in dieting among young women has

been identified as an indicator of the onset of eating disorders such as

anorexia and bulimia(Fear, Bulik & Sullivan, 1996; Barker & Galambos, 2003;

Lamb et al., 1993)


VS.Text

Western Women

Researchers have found that ongoing exposure to certain ideas can shape and distort our percep=ons of reality.


Commercial media must create a

fantasy world that we hope, in some way, can become

ours. consequently, magazines,

television, movies and advertisements

rarely features women of color as their stars or on

their covers.

Although advertising, the

most powerful arm of the mass media, is all arounds us,

many of us believe we can immune

from its effects. This mistaken belief is

one of the reasons it is so effective.


PART THREE3


The beauty industry spends billions of

dollars a year convincing women that

they need to look thinner, younger and

sexier.



Do more women in Western culture have an unhealthy body image than in other cultures?

In Western culture, media has a huge influence on women’s body image. The California subculture — home to the entertainment industry and so many

beaches — is particularly a problem.


How does the media contribute to an unhealthy body image?

The whole beauty industry is built on, “You’re not OK the way you are. We’ll make you better.” It would seem bizarre to us today, but 50 years ago, when television

was brand new, there were commercials that would say, “Gain 10 pounds in a week, guaranteed.” Women

bought these products until wafer thin was considered the best body to have.



“Girls of all kinds can be beautiful — from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain skinned, the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between. It’s not easy though because

many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box…Think outside of the box…Pledge that you will look in the mirror

and find the unique beauty in you.”~Tyra Banks
