Brooke’s Blog Post #1

Today we listened to a couple more assignments and I found myself really liking what Ally said in theres. Like specifically her part. She really summed up everything a woman goes through in a couple paragraphs. It's very true that society has this picture of a perfect, standard woman. But why? All this does is cause people to believe that that woman is what they must look like and if it isn't, then they are less than perfect. Anorexia, bulimia, low self esteem, low self-confidence, etc are all caused because of this. I do also agree with what ally was saying about ads and commercials. There's no need to have naked women everywhere. It's sickening that Carl's Jr. has to show off a woman's body to sell their product. It's really disrespectful in a way. I understand it's appealing to the eye and that's there way of grabbing people attention, but there are plenty of other ways to get people to buy your product. If the only way you can sell a burger is by almost having nudity in your commercial then the burger must not be all that great. I also really love and have always loved the idea of having realistically sized models. On social media im constantly seeing posts about this topic. In some magazines they show off "plus sized" models that are skinnier than I am. Since when has being a regular, proportioned woman turned into being plus sized. It blows my mind. What has society come to?
