Advertisements that are shown on television and in magazines of tall, sickly skinny models gives girls the idea that it is okay to be very lean when, in reality, it is not. When young females see celebrities or their role models on commercials with really nice bodies, they think they have to be just like them. The author implies that it is not a good message to send out when females become to unnatural and skinny. Model agencies advertise extremely thin models because they just want their money.

In my opinion, Americans tend to think that their appearance is everything and go to great measures to get their desired looks. I also believe that people in society are always trying too hard to make them self look like their ideal celebrity. I feel that men and women have different standards when it comes to appearance and how they view it. I also agree with Nancy Hellmich in her article, “Do Thin Models Warp Girls Body Image?” as she says that girls are becoming skinnier and skinnier as the years go by. I think as society tends to focus on their appearance more, it also becomes more dangerous.

A Rhetorical Analysis on Media’s Influence on the Ideal Body Image Everywhere we look media seems to be portraying body images that lack what used to be known as “sexy curves” and possess more bone than anything else. Whether it be an advertisement in magazines or reality shows such as America’s Next Top Model on television, word has traveled that the thinner you are the better. The roles that obese characters play in movies or on television are negative more often than not. They are viewed as unsuccessful, lacking friends, family, and love.

Women are set such a high standards when it comes to society’s expectations because “average” just doesn’t cut it. Most women these days are expected to look, dress and act a certain way that they normally wouldn’t intend on doing. Women feel pressured on trying to dress more feminine, as they feel, based on society’s expectations, that this is the only way men will feel more sexually attracted to them. Also another reason is that most women also try competing against other women just too simply get more attention.

Because an underdressed teen appeals to the majority of the public in this genre, her physical appearance is kept to be a young teen. The only part they can’t control is when she’ll make her appearance. She is a physical being; she is still a holographic image that goes away after the song(s) are done. No
On the contrast, other women on the show such as Amy seem to have an extraordinary amount of intelligence, yet lack the pretty looks to go along with it. They seem to portray women as opposite ends of the spectrum; either they are all brawn and no brain or extremely intelligent but lack beauty, both sides being socially awkward to an extent. This contrast may have been done in order to show the differences between certain women and how the men of the show view and treat them, often with the intent of comedy. It’s amusing to the public to see a pretty girl struggle with understanding a simple concept, and equally amusing seeing an intelligent average looking girl struggle with trying to fit in. However, here in lies the problem: the way they represent women is harmful because it leaves people with the impression that if there’s a good

Coleen Rooney features on the front page with the headline “Coleen’s amazing three-month body blitz.” (p. 15) This suggests that Coleen’s body image is a positive one and by featuring it in the magazine this shows that Heat feels women who read the magazine relate to this and agree with them. Charlotte Church is another of the celebrities shown in the article and Heat writes that she “showed off her curves” (p. 17). This suggests that people reading the magazine should follow her healthy attitude towards her figure, and that it is desirable to be slim but not skinny.
