Week 8

2.) The main idea of the article is how beauty is being portrayed in the media.
3.) Women's magazine is a way for them to lose weight. There are many commercials for example TV commercials point women.
4.) Researchers generate a computer model of a woman with Barbie doll proportions to show that woman who look like Barbie dolls die from malnutrition.
5.) I don't think women should be portrayed in the media as a Barbie doll because if they lose their weight too much they can have many problems related to health. In order to be in good health they shouldn't lose their weights to be like a Barbie doll. We don't have to look like Barbie doll in order to look beautiful. Many women who are healthy look good too.

  1. I agree with you too. What type of details did the author use to make his points? I think that the problem is not so much healthy, but why do why have the pressure to look a certain way?

  2. I agree, the barbie doll look does not determine true beauty, it can also suggest health problems.
