Portrayal of
Woman In the
Media
The media today has a major impact on the way women want to portray themselves. Whether it be through magazine ads, commercials, direct books, fashion shows, etc.
-These stereotypes are never ending!*The hot super mom
*The Barbie Bombshell*The sex Kitten who is over willing* The Sexy girl who loves sports
*The sexy teacher*The Models
These labels are unrealistic. The media portrays a distorted view of todays woman. There is a bar
that society has set, this could be the sexy women in lingerie with perfect hair and makeup, or it
could any of the other thousands of labels that media has promoted to society as the norm.
Beauty has been a value judgment imposed on us!!
*The following is the search results for beauty on GOOGLE.COM!!
This value judgment has promoted the sales of millions
of corporations!!
Even as populations age they will still
market to a certain age group.
(Some examples of this may be treatments, clothing for a certain age,
products, etc.)
ConclusionThis system has created a process that humans
take part in which is judgment on beauty. We need to continue to push for this process and this chain
to be broken. The more our media content is tainted then the more society and generations
learn to accept this as the norm. Companies such as Dove are challenging this avenue of approach society is down and paving a new way for these ideologies to change through their campaign for
real beauty. “True beauty is inner beauty, beauty of
the spirit and character”
