Assigned entry #5 Media

The day we started talking about the power of media in class made me pay attention to the types of media that were occurring during my favorite t.v shows. We do not notice it but media has became so popular ever since television was created. The power media through commercials has advertised so many products going from make up, to clothes, to hair-dye,  to perfumes, everything you can consider selling material.

One of the things I see more everyday during commercial is covergirl or O'lay trying to sell their make up products trying to make women feel like they are in need of it. These advertising products make women want to purchase it because they persuade the audience that it will make one have flawless skin including saying good-bye to wrinkles. These products tend to be for the older women who want to get rid of all the "beauty mistakes" they have. Every women should feel comfortable the way they were brought into this world. There is no need to feel the neccesity to purchase these kinds makeup. Every single women is beautiful in there own way.


Also maybelline advertising the "false lashes" pretending it's going to give girl those long lashes they've always wished for. Do you seriously believe that's going to happen? NO! I myself as a consumer can tell you that's a lie! I once decided to buy mascara thinking it was going to make my eyes look "stunning" but no they looked the same as with the other mascara. No women should feel intimidated with all the media out there.


All the media is trying to do is make others feel uncomfortable with the way they are or look. Physical appearance had became one of the greatest media and has make people fall into depression and unsatisfied with the way they are. I have been noticing now more than ever that when the maybelline, covergirl or O'lay products come out it does sure try it's best to intimidate others.

  1. This is exactly how I feel, I think that every women should feel comfortable the way they were brought into this world and they should't try to look like all this models on tv. All these models are not real, and all media is doing is harming women's self esteem. Nice way of getting your point across.
