7. Perfection

Hi everyone=)
I thought a lot about the beauty subject. Also I read the other blog pages and watched the dove commercial on Hazal's page. I remembered that video and in my opinion that commercial tells everything about the media pressure and "magic of computer-touching". With this kind of advertisements media impose physical perfection on women and young girls. For example many women envy the model bodies because media shows us models and their "perfect bodies" in everywhere. However their bodies are genetically thin and we want to be like them. So women start to make diets because of the blind diets women become anorexia. Media tells us these things and we try to achieve success. By the way in commercials we all see perfect breasts because "breasts sell absolutely everything" tells Jean Kilbourne (Killing us softly). So women begin to change their breast sizes with creams and plastic surgery (thanks God!:)). Women become more pleasurable and lose sensations in breasts so people don't realize that but women are becoming an object of someone else's pleasure. Men do nothing with their bodies because they think that their body good the way it is. There is no pressure for them. There are many inequality between genders and in recent years some of them are overcomed.
See you in the next entry:)

6."Ideal Beauty"

Media and advertisement are in everywhere in our lives. When we on the bus or are watching TV, movie, we can see and we are forced to see these advertisements. Because of this individuals are susceptible to media influence. Media and it's advertisements sell products in concept of sexuality or in romance and advertising tells us who we are or should be! Media tells us about the women ,how females look or ideal female beauty in our society and how it is important for a woman being beautiful. When women failed she should shame and should feel guilty about that. For example in recent years computers creat "ideal beauty/ ideal woman" so computers creat woman which is not exist at all and in the film "Killing us softly 3 ", Jean Kilbourne mentioned that too. She mentioned that media influences the fellings of men for women. Woman body turns to an object. The consequenses of such a behaviour is violence against women. For example woman body becomes a bottle of alcohol in an advertisement and females are not fully human with that objectification. So far I have never realized such an exploitation of female body and this film attract my attention.
