Week Seven
I enjoyed watching the video. It didn't make me change my original perception of how the media affects women, and how terrible what they are doing actually is. I thought from the beginning that the media distorted the way women think they should look by featuring unrealistically beautiful, extremely skinny people in many advertisements, television commercials, etc. As this video showed us, many of the models we see are unrealistically beautiful because they are just that-they are unrealistic, unreal, and retouched, edited, and photo- shopped countless times. All watching the video did was made me look even more negatively and harshly on the media. It definitely made me think differently about what I see in the media. I didn't think models were touched up and edited that much at all! It was ridiculous for me to see an average, plain jane woman get made into a strikingly beautiful woman. It did make me think of reality differently as well-I always thought so many of the models in ads were that beautiful, but as I found out, looks can be deceiving.

I definitely agree with all your statements said. I always thought what i saw in the media about women were all real. I did not know that they were just using illusions and un real beauty.
yeah i also thought that most women in adds actually look like that, but I guess not.
Have you ever seen the website where they show the stars without the makeup? That is an eye opener!!
first off nice picture lol and 2nd i agree with the statements you acknowledged about the media. I now realized that most women on T.V are just illusions of people that no one can be in real life.
I always thought that the women in the media were always real. I didn't know that they use all these techniques to improve a women's beauty.
