Beauty and Body image in the media

The main idea of this article is the standard of beauty by women and how the media and other sources influence women and the way they perceive themselves. images of women and their body parts sell everything from foods to cars. On television, the women are thin and beautiful . the reason why the researchers in the article generated a computer model with barbie doll proportions was to show that it is not very likely to for a real women to be built in that form. She would suffer from diarrhea and die from malnutrition. I think that women are influenced by the media in some ways. Women trying to be thin and beautiful as they see on t.v. , they want to be like that and even better. i believe that sex sells. If the media shows a new diet pill or a can of beans with a naked model next to it, people are going to want to buy it. But on the other hand i also think that the media is a conserpsie and everything is unreal and women are being targeted because they have low self esteem and more venerable compared to men.
