Women

Throughout the years women has been explored for their bodies and looks for ads and marketing reasons.  The movie we watched this week in class, specifically showed how those ads changed over time and how women in those ads changed over time.  Everyday new ads come up and they all illustrate the perfect girl.  A perfect body and a perfect face.  That influences little girls and young women.  They get the message that they need to be perfect as well to fit in.  They need to be skinny as the models are to be sexy and hot.  The truth is, however, that only 5% of the American girls is actually like that. Companies now are making girls perfect by using Photoshop. Barely anyone is born that way, and so they try to be the perfect girl.  Eating disorder is caused as a result and many other diseases too.  It’s no good, but girls keep on getting pressured and keep on trying to be the perfect girl.  Since these ads have been around for such a long time, many of us might think it is normal.  That it is completely harmless and is there to promote the product.  It isn’t.  The ads lately, have been without a doubt; far away from the products companies are trying to sell.  Women lose their clothes faster and faster.  Sex now is okay on TVs or on Ads.  It’s getting to point where someone will have to step in and say enough.  I never thought of ads as something more than ads.  Women have been always used to do that.  But after the movie I wonder:  how did they feel when they were growing up?  Was that pressure really there?  And I believe that it was because around our own school we can see how some girls dress and eat.  Skinny girls are trying to get even skinnier.  And from a guy’s prospective it is disgusting.
