Seeing nearly naked people, impossibly perfect looking people, and pregnant teens all over the media subconsciously brainwashes people to think the way the media wants them to. The media is influencing us too much, we follow whatever the "trend" is and we don't think for ourselves. Casual naked people dancing around, thin and built models, and teen pregnancy is subconsciously affecting us to think all of this is okay. Seeing almost naked people casually dancing in music videos and commercials will give people the wrong idea. If you see casual almost naked people all over the media some children, teens and easily influenced adults will think that it is socially acceptable to wear revealing clothing.
My Response: Yes, I think ads are effective towards teens because you see teens making choice or buying things based off of what they saw from the ad. Especially, when a celebrity is advertising the product that they want to purchase it makes them want that item even more. Ads in today’s society are not that ethical. They are trying to sell their product to everyone not just to a specific type
Will get women to want to buy their product.| http://smallbusiness.chron.com/sports-equipment-advertisements-aimed-teenagers-effective-80787.html 09/16/2014| This article shows that many teens buy a specific brand because an athlete wears it, and their reason for buying these things is because they think "if it makes a professional athlete’s performance good, it can do the same for me. "| | | | | | | | | Thesis Statement: Advertisements do affect teens by making them independent buyers, I believe that these ads are unethical because they say everything the teens want to hear making them buy the product, and Teens get self-esteem issues, and also eating disorders from these ads.

The slender, “beautiful” women are regarded as influential, successful, and erotic. This being said, it is very much so based on facts and reason, also known as logos, in the aspect that real life is often viewed this way. Throughout Elementary school up to High school, no one wanted to be best friends with “the fat kid”. As the world already knows, girls and women in general seem to stress over their physical appearance and have been especially concerned about weight for many years now. The emotional effect media has on a woman’s mindset, or ethos, could very well send her overboard into what is commonly known as an eating disorder.

I know how we always want the next new makeup or hair product that’s going to make s look like the model in the commercial. Women can’t just run to the store in sweat pants because they value their appurtenance too much. Women don’t feel as confident when they don’t look nice, but men don’t really care either way. In the reading, “Do thin Models Warp Girls Body Image?” I agree with Nancy when she says thin models on the runway or on TV can cause very young girls to become anorexic or bulimic. Nancy says, “Girls are being bombarded with the message that they need to be super-skinny to be sexy.” (Hellmich 706) I believe that is very true when she says that but what young girls don’t realize is that you could be beautiful and sexy with any body type that you might have.
There are many factors that can affect the way we speak such as: age, gender, familiarity, background, friendship groups and education. Another factor that can affect our language is the media. For example through T.V programmes and the internet many teenagers have picked up words such as ‘dude’, ‘OMG’ or ‘fail’ etc. By observing my language I realised that I have adopted these words and use them often in casual conversation. It has been especially noticed by my friends that I use the word ‘dude’ very frequently, this could be due to the fact that American phrases are being passed on more easily than before through the internet, making it easier for teenagers to pick up.
You might think you are not fan girl material and you might want some help, but do not worry; everyone has chosen the fan girl life nowadays! Just ask those Bieber-crazy fans who cut themselves when news broke out about their idol making a bad decision. Just think about is, now you can turn into an obsessed fan just like them! The first big step in becoming a fan girl includes always being hypersensitive. Your idol easily compares to a newborn child who needs love and protection.
Bad conformity can be found everywhere, especially in the media. TV shows and Advertisements depict people being perfect and beautiful looking when it’s mostly airbrushing that makes them look that way. The Youth then begin to think that’s what people should look like and they want to look like that. Knowing that they can’t look like the models in the Advertisement, the youth sometimes become depressed. The belief that Physical beauty is more important than intelligence is a very common habit throughout the world, especially in schools and as a result, people may often conform to accept values of appearances rather than focusing on the values of a persons gifts and talents.
In 2000’s teenage society most of the teenagers confirm too many things because they want to fit in. all the things they do, the brands they wear, or even sometimes the words they use to communicate. It’s all different ways teenagers try to confirm and be part of the teenage society. As evidence “Kristin Houghton” states in the article “Sadness of Conformity” “we don’t celebrate who we already are because according to the statistics we want to be like everyone else” (Houghton, 2). That quote is showing how people don’t praise their individuality because they always want to be like someone else
