Greenhouse begins by explaining that applicants must be attractive to get hired. The author continues by discussing a number of lawsuits that have been filed based on discrimination.

I do agree with Drevno in this article. It seems like everybody is trying to look like the ideal figure, but as we all know the majority is not ideal so we try to become that attractive figure that we think everybody wants. Drevno says in her article “Everywhere you look you will find images of women and men who typify what our society considers “beautiful”(P.2). What that quote means is that “unreal” beauty is all around us because our world believes that that is the true meaning of beauty when according to Drevno it is not. A friend of mine named Moe, was in a sense overweight and he didn’t like it because of what other people thought about it.
Shur 1 Critique 1 In this commercial, the advertiser makes the viewer think by asking her questions. The product that’s being advertised is Old Spice Body Wash. It is body that not only cleans your body, but also leaves a scent afterwards. The point of this advertising commercial is to make women think less of their man and convince them that Old Spice Body Wash can make them better. First off, I would like to briefly talk about the advertisers goal.
Rhona is making a reference to how beauty effects the way a male boss looks at his female employees. The play is suggesting that attractive women are not smart. Here, Mim is being used by Jim as a window dressing to cover up Rhona’s assumed unattractiveness, while Mim outweighs the smart aspect of the duo. Although I don’t agree with this assumption,

Nevertheless Larkin ‘got it back in the end’ which illustrates Larkin not fully conforming to her results in rejection. In the ultimate stanza Larkin criticizes his own personality ‘I was too selfish… easily bored to love’. This could suggest he is too simply mundane and egocentric for someone to love him. Alternatively it could be appear that Larkin is presenting women in a unenthusiastic light as he could also be suggesting that there can’t be one women with the right appearance and personality therefore he is selfish as he needs two women to meet his requirements. This point is reinforced in the second stanza where he describes meeting ‘beautiful twice’ which could demonstrate he met two sides of beauty one in a character and one
Many fashion companies use models that are plain, have “flaws”, “moles in unbeautiful places”, and unmade up faces in their ads unlike the heroin chic images. Bordo noticed the industry maneuvering into accepting diversity, but then noticed the lack of change in body types. She agreed with the direction of the ad campaigns, but disagreed on how the concept of body image is still not changing. People need to be realistic that not everyone’s body is built the same, and the media needs to stop trying to brainwash and be real. Susan Bordo is constantly writing about body image and how the media influences eating disorders because she has done her research and knows what she is talking about.

Clearly the way to get beautiful women is to ignore them, perhaps mistreat them" (272). The ad Kilbounre is describing is similar to the picture in the Bebe ad, and she is trying to make women see just how degrading these images are. The woman in the Bebe ad is very desperately attempting to get the man's attention by leaning on him and focusing her attention on him, but he doesn't seem interested. The image is posed like that to show superiority and power that men supposedly have over women. This teaches women that they need to constantly dote on the man, whether he pays attention or not.
Traditional imagery of the once nurturing housewife has been overridden in the media with frequent depictions of women as sexual objects. These objectifications are solely based on their physical appearance and sexual appeal (Caruthers, 2006). The socially constructed myths and ideologies in modern day society implant onto woman that they are or should be concerned about their appearance. This is what influences a guy’s impression. However we all acknowledge that one should just pay enough attention to her physical beauty because inner beauty is most important.
