Miss Represenation

After watching this video, it really made me open my eyes to how women are potrayed in today's society. There are may clips of different advertisements of women being treated as objects and aren't important- many of the clips would show parts of womens body's and not their face, and also clips of men being greater then women as in one clip all the men are standing over a womens body.I find it amazing to see all these ad's and not realize how terrible and degrading they are to women until they're put right in front of you. It's terrible to see that strong women have fought long and hard to gain respect in society - and to protect women's rights. Women are constantly degraded in society today, and yet so many people stand back and let it continue to unravel to how society once one. Young people of today are being so heavily influenced by ads and different advertisements that they begin to think that having your body taken over control by men, or body parts are the only important things in life. Young women beleive that they're only truly beautiful with minimal clothing on, or if they're surrounded by men. The different clips of women getting into unruly fights with one another also points to influences the youth are getting today. There are so many prime examples in this video of how women are only seen important or "powerful" when they look good - whether it's kids as young as 3 in shows such as Toddlers in Tiaras or it's the perfect bodied and looking Barbie dolls kids play with - women are constantly judged on what is on the outside and not on things such as morals, education and things on the inside. This video does a wonderful job on educating people of today of the effects media may have on society and it's leading people into dangerous lives. Showing clips of strong women pointing out their views and thoughts will only give women the power they need to realize that beauty is on the inside and what's outside shouldn't be important.
