Miss Representation

So In my AP Lang and comp class we have started watching a documentary called misrepresentation. It shows the struggles girls go through everyday, whether it be themselves or people around them, who are in pain. It talks about how women are portrayed in media to be so stick skinny that its not even real, with perfect skin, the sad thing is that all of the women in those photos have been photo shopped. They themselves can't ever reach the standard that they are setting for us. Here is just and example of how they transform models to "perfection".

This documentary is very good at relating to everyone to all women and girls no matter what shape, size, color. I think that any female who watched this documentary would in some way be impacted by it. I think that the main character of this document make us trust her so much because she puts in her own story, she trusts us enough to tell us all these personal things about her life. she speaks to all the hard ships she has been trough in her life and really applies to our pathos(emotional appeal).

This documentary really shows all the struggles for females but its not only us. the way that the media portrays everyone. It is sad that the media says for women to be pretty they have to be unachievable skinny with the perfect skin and men have to be ripped and so muscular with perfect features. We have fought against racism for so long but still it goes on whether it be against Asians, African americans, Mexicans, etc. I think that all our different shapes, sizes and colors make us beautiful and original.

Why, why has our media come to focusing on the bad things done. For someone to be on the front page now a days all it takes is to spread your legs on camera or get caught doing drugs or gettig a DUI. what has our nation come to. All that this does is reinforcing there behavior. When will it stop how can we make a better future. Like she says in the documentary she is scarred for her daughter that she is expecting because it is so dangerous. We need to make a better future for the generations and focus on the great thing people have done. We must work together.
