On the topic of gender stereotypes and media gender representation. I think that media and stereotypes stunt the growth of the personalities of teens. I don't know if it's just me, but don't people have to have some form of attraction to attract a partner? Sex appeal in my opinion is the easiest way to catch the eye of that special person. It's so basic and it's our nature to do that kind of thing anyway. It also attracts attention and subscribers. There are other ways to get someones attention though. There is always personality. How do you take a picture of personality? How could we get the media to show more personality? If we could figure out how to do it then I think it would impact us greatly and show us that there are other ways to go out looking. In no way do people need to be the same, develop a personality by just being yourself. With that personality you could meet more sophisticated people. It is the people's choice to what the people buy, you can't stop the people who want sexy magazines from getting those sexy magazines. Buy what interests you, show some personality and buy that cooking magazine since you love to cook. I tend to see people as works of art, their body like a sculpture or picture and their personality like a poem or a work of writing. I'm sure I have no clue what I'm talking about by now.

wow. i agree i think that if they did show more personality, if they could at least that it would be better off. because right now they make it seem that sex appeal is all that matters, and thats what you have to do to get what you want.
ReplyDeletei so agree with this jimmy, especially how the media portrays sexuality and how u have to be sexually attracted to a person..its ridiculous and its not right. you hit on really good points and i think you are really thinking about everything. :]
