Seminar

SORRY IT'S LATE... INTERNET CAPABILITY IS LIMITED

In seminar on Monday and Tuesday we talked about women and their role and image in the media.

On Monday, we talked about how women in Africa and other countries have different views than we do. Here we say that "skinny is beautiful" and I think that it's very shallow of us. I liked the article "In the Eyes of the Beholder" the best because it made the most sense and really gave out a message that I agree with. The media is doing nothing but causing kids to become insecure about themselves when they see a skinny model and know that they aren't that skinny and can't be due to medical issues or other things. I think it's sick that the media puts that label on us. Being a girl myself, who at the age of fourteen, is very impressionable on the media and all the skinny people. I'm not skinny and I may never be... and sometimes it makes me insecure about myself because they give out the message that if you're not skinny you can't be a model and you can't be beautiful.

Tuesday's article was slightly more confusing as to the message of the article. But in the end we made a list of priority.
1) Health
2) Inner Beauty
3) Outer Beauty

I agree with this list because if you try to go backwards then you will mess up your life completely. By achieving outer beauty first you'll lose your inner beauty through insecurity and health through crazy diets and insane workouts.

So, yeah, I think that it's bad of the media to put this on girls. Next time you watch a commercial all you have to do is believe that you can do it too!! There is nothing stopping you!!
