Current events II Sex, Beauty and objectification of women in Media



Current generation of young girls have a totally different idea about beauty. Skinny, tall, flawless girls pictured in the popular women´s magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Broadway, Vouge, Bazar and many others, display women´s perfection in unrealistic way. The use of re-tush, professional make-up artists, stylists and photographers can establish an illusion of perfection which is followed by many young girls and women. Depend on this, girls are undergoing by the changes, suffer by eating disorders to keep themselves slim, use the hair extensions and false lashes to look perfect, wear inappropriate clothes and all of those changes they are willing to do just to come closer to their ideals from magazines.
Is this real  women´beauty or just illusion which became real? Do you  prefer natural beauty or the beauty created by the media?
Growing affairs in today´s society is the objectification women in advertising, publishing of the pictures which are linked to women and sex and also connection between physical beauty and happiness.
And what about sex? Is it really that important to include sex in almost every ad? Is is really the most selling part of the whole advertising and marketing? It is sad to come up with this claim, but yes it is. Sex sells and therefore, women are used as a sexual object to attract people. Sexuality is presented everywhere around us, in the magazines, billboards, Tv,radios,etc....

  1. In todays age especially here in europe we are surrounded by ads with sexual content , even if they have vaguely anything to do with the product being offered. We''ve become so numb to it as were surrounded every day that we don''t even get outraged of it unless is certain extreme.

    And if you want to see how they changed the Justin Bieber pictures vs reality youll see how its done with men in ads too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSkDR8RZCZQ

  3. There were even more serious issues of body image than those that we are dealing with in our society. In Asian countries it is popular for young girls to try to look “western”, and so it is a common practice for them to undergo surgeries in young age for making their legs longer, even though it causes weeks spent in hospital and possible serious health issues later in life.
