Women Image in Media

Back to the beginning of mankind women has always be this beautiful being that every men lust over for. Because of that it become women nature to be beautiful and know in their self that they are beautiful. Due to the media today women doesn't know what real beauty is about anymore. Everywhere they go they bump into all these advertisement and commercial on t.v that show them an illusion on beauty.

In the article "Why Do Women Hate Their Bodies" by Carolyn Ross, the author talk about how the trend and fashion changes every generation and because of that women always change their mind on what are considered attractive and what are unattractive. Back then women consider the ideal female body are strong and full-figure, but as time go on the media change the way how women think. instead of the strong and full-figure that all women used to want, the media make women view full body to be indulgent and a lack of self control and because of that many women started going on diet to slim down to fit the image of the social media.

The media has created this false image on what beauty is and because of that most of the women that go on diet and try to slim down to fit the image of the media fail and they end up really depress and eventually gave up and gain a lot of weight. Some of them gave up on themselves because their self esteem hit rock bottom but Some of them still fight on.

  

The video above is a good example of the women that still work hard to look good and live the healthy lifestyle but instead of keeping in shape to fit the media definition of beautiful they do it because it simply what they enjoy doing and have fun doing.This video is a good motivation to all the women out there that has given up on their goal to live a healthy lifestyle. This video is helpful because in the video it doesn't show only thin or thick women but it a mixture of all women doesn't matter if they are tall, short, thick, or thin they all come together to share a common goal and that is to have fun and get fit at the same time.

I feel like all the women out there that are currently worry sick about their body image and afraid of what society think about them. Instead of worrying about all that they should be like the women in the video above, Instead of being depressed and being insecure about their flaw and worry about the opinion of other, they should focus on their own opinion and listen to the little voice in their head that said they are beautiful. I feel like women are so easily influenced by the media, I feel like people nowadays just follow whatever someone said despite it being right or wrong they just doesn't want say anything even though sometime they knew the things on t.v are wrong.

Even though many women has gave up on healthy lifestyle because they just could not keep up with the plateau that the media has created for women. Despite all that a lot of women out there are doing intense physical activity to keep fit and live healthy. Instead of doing all that to fit the media illusion of beauty, they did it simply because it make them happy.
