week 11

Media today holds a lot of power that few people realize. Media has shaped how women and men act and how they are viewed. Women have to be thin, beautiful, sexy,and much much more in the eyes of people, media has formed these views. Media has created "beautiful women" by taking women putting makeup on them to look pretty, but that isn't enough, they also photo shop the picture to make things look thinner or pop more. This makes beauty that people expect unobtainable. Makeup products attempt to fix these problems presented by media, and with the common message of if you don't look like a model then something is wrong with you and you need to fix it. When women are bombarded by these images of what beauty should be and hey don't measure up their self esteem can be crushed.
