-“Findings suggest that adolescent girls, and college women’s impressions of their own bodies are influenced by the mass media portrayals of “ideal” body type.” (Bissell,K.,2002)
-“The studies presume that the media promotes a body shape standard for women that is unrealistically thin. Furthermore as the body shape for women in the media has progressively become thinner, the correlation between thin body shape and perception of attractiveness has increased.”
(Wiseman 1990)
-According to Healthy Place, "The average woman sees 400 to 600 advertisements per day, and by the time she is 17 years old, she has received over 250,000 commercial messages through the media. Only 9% of commercials have a direct statement about beauty, but many more implicitly emphasizes the importance of beauty--particularly those that target women and girls."
-If the media would focus on women as they actually are, not as the false ideals then there would be less upset of the female gender, and even fewer eating disorders.
1.Adolescent girls' perceptions of their own bodies are influenced by the perfection of these models.
2. The Stereotype of the “ideal” woman is created by the extremely thin and beautiful models.
3. In our society women and girls tend to compare themselves to the models seen in the media.
4. Women are often marked as sexual objects in media
5. The media has a profound effect on women and how they view their body through a personal perspective
