1) the main idea of this article was to show how the media plays on women. the media shows these "perfect women" images which pressure women to change how they look. they always explain the the harsh and sometimes fatal consiqunces of doing anything to have that "pefect" body.
2)The reasons are showing how having the "perfect" body is unhealthy. research shows there are more images of weight loss and control in womens magazines than mens (10 1/2 more times). it shows that women are pressure from all angles are is hard to get away from it.
3) They generated a barbie- doll image to show how unhealthy it is. the computer generated image shows that her spine would be too weak to hold up her chest and that her body could hardly fit her major bowels. this could lead to serious or fatal consiquences.
4) How i think women should be portrayed in the media is how they are naturally. every woman is differnt. not all our bodies are the same. some are small and thin and some are more curvy. i think women should be shown how they are naturally. as a young woman looking at the media it is hard to imagine myself as "perfect" when all the models are stick thin. it takes alot of mind power to over come and be confident when you go to the mall and everything is a size 00 or 5 and i am considered "plus size" i was recently looking through a magazine and came across a more curvaous model. it made me feel good to know that i dont have to change who i am. that i am perfect the way i was made. i think it sets a good imaes for young girls in america and shows them to take pride in who they are. no matter if they are a size 1 or 24 .

I agree. There should be lots of different women, in all different shapes and sizes in the media. It is important that all women be represented.
I agree with you and your assessment of the article. There should be more realistic pictures in the magazines so everyone can feel good about themselves.
