The artifact of my choice to analyze this week is modeling. Modeling for years has had the effect of making many girls believe that to be skinny, tall, and slim is the idea of beauty. It is hard to convince young girls that they are pretty when all they see on the television is the protrayal of girls who look nothing like them.
Many young girls go thorough health problems and emotional stress trying to look like what society deems as pretty. Young girls who are not slim or tall and are short and carry more weight, tend to be outcasted by society or looked down upon. Many modeling competitions and television shows such as Top Model and the Victorias Secret Fashion Show portray models by societys point of view, not realistically.
By protraying models in this way causes many girls to go through health problems such as eating disorders, and starvation. Many young girls try to become thin immediately by thowing up there food and not eating for fear of how they will be viewed. This is a growing problem for our culture.
Maybe one day this misleading, ignorant, fact will change, and we will see a more diverse set of models who portray what society is really like.
