Standards on Women

Previously, I had never put any truly deep thoughts into the way the media portrays women. I find the perception the media has placed on how women ought to be to be disturbing. I find it disturbing because of the expectations and standards they are essentially saying women should meet. With media being consumed by our society at such a high rate, it has a more of a significant effect on children than ever. This highly disturbing perception of women by the media is going to be more pronounced on upcoming generations more so than prior generations. This is largely due to the fact of the current perceptions media has put on women, and the rate at which media is now being consumed. One of the main points as to why women are trying to reach an unobtainable goal when trying to emulate models is that these model's appearances have been altered in the images. Therefore, the media makes girls want to strive to look as good as them when in reality what they are seeing isn't entirely true.
