Kierra SpauldingMedia Criticism3/11/2014 Professor Seong MinReaction written report Killing Us Softly 4I agree a great deal with the films idea of the media distorting the images of women. In the beginning of the film blue jean Kilbourne states that, the average American is exposed to over 3,000 ads every single daytime. Thus, the advertising industry has the power to impact our bylook on legion(predicate) things in society including women. The issue is that advertisers atomic number 18 not looking out for our best interest their main goal is to increase profit. As a result, individuals argon physic ally, mentally, and emotionally affected by our cultures false ideal image of beauty. I believe that we are constantly presented with this delusion in the media about loving our bodies only if our bodies are conveniently situated in what society finds attractive. For example, back in 2010, Victorias confidential launched the Love Your Body campaign. While it is very import ant to encourage everyone to love life their torso, the women depicted in the campaign all have the same dust type. There is nothing wrong with their body type which is considered very slender, tall, presbyopic legs, and toned. The issue is that this is the only body presented in the campaign which makes women with other body types feel inferior and not of value. To this day, Victorias Secret sedate chooses to use this particularly slender body type to advertise their lingerie and such. Contrary to Victorias Secret, Dove started The Dove driveway for true(a) Beauty in 2004. The campaign was started due to the fact that it was necessary to protract the idea of beauty because it had become limiting and unattainable. The campaign included women of all different sizes as opposed to Victor... ...le more aware of these issues. However, the problems are suave not being fixed. In fact, due to the unrealistic ideals of what a womens body should look like, there are an enormous numb er of girls head start as young as 6 who hate their bodies to the extent of skipping dinner. Females are driven to the point of anorexia, bulimia, as well as binge eating. Women go on extreme diets that are not realistic to stay good causing them to go on excessive binges which in return are even worse. The statement If looks could kill can actually be taken literally because women are trying to look the part while unluckily killing themselves emotionally, mentally, and physically.
