Society puts vast pressure on women to fit the ‘ideal’ image of what the ‘perfect girl’ is. Women are told that they are only accepted in society if they have the beach blonde hair, tanned, toned body, white pearly teeth and flawless skin. Sara Middleton investigates how the media promotes the unnecessary objectification of women.
Celebrities are admired and idolized for their glamourous appearance and stunning outfits. In today’s society women are only accepted as beautiful if they look like the celebrities we see on television. This is because the media promotes unnecessary objectification of women.
Women are constantly dealing with their body and self-image. I blame the media as there is only one constant image being portrayed within society that all women are trying to look a certain way.
Many ads have women in lingerie with their hair and makeup professionally done. This is because men in particular are irresistibly drawn to sexual images of women. Why should women have to degrade themselves and be used as sex objects to sell and sponsor the advertiser’s product?…show more content… “8 out of 10 ten year old girls have been on a diet”, why should children be so insecure about their image at a young age, this shows our society how much the media is effecting young girls self-image today and its becoming worse. They shouldn’t be worrying about their image, the only thing that should be on their mind is their education and learning instead of worrying about ‘how to lose weight’ and how to look ‘perfect’. The media shouldn’t be showing edited images of models as it gives us the idea what we should be aiming to look like when really no one is that perfect. It peer pressures women into thinking that to be accepted in today’s society we have to look just like that perfect poster
