BEAUTY IN THE MEDIA

The aim of this blog is to focus on aspects of portraying beauty in the media; the negative and positive-if any. This topic is very important because the media actually manipulate us when telling us what is beautiful, how to perceive beauty and by continual portraying only the one type of a perfect woman make us consider it standard. Those women are all young, beautiful and thin. It looks like we are living in a perfect world full of perfect looking people. But how often do we actually meet those people in a real life? How often do we meet them on a street?

In fact, nobody can see what is actually behind it, behind this “media perfection.” Nobody realizes that many of those women may suffer from eating disorders and that the number of women who can really look like that is actually very small. Despite of all this, it does not stop women from trying to look the same and later ending with eating disorders or low self-esteem.

Blogs of my classmates

I would like to recommend you to visit several blogs of my classmates that I find very interesting.

Firstly, it is the Lenka Purghart's Blog on http://mediaandsociety2010.wordpress.com that I find very interesting. Her blog concerns the topic on social networks, their negative and positive aspects. Nowadays, most of us is a user of a social network, so this topic concerns many of us. So if you want to find out more, just visit Lenka's blog.

Then, I would recommend to visit the Oksana Bondar's Blog which you can find on http://oksanavsmedia.blogspot.com/2010/05/brand-yourself.html. Her blog is about branding, which creates the important part of advertising and marketing. What I found very interesting are the colours attributed to each brand and its effects on public.

Thirdly, it is the Tatia Kuxalashvili's Blog on http://womenportrayals.blogspot.com that I would recommend. Her topic is Sterotyped Images of Women in the Media. I find this subject very important to discuss since it has already had so many negative impacts on a number of women.

Another blog I recommend to visit is the Pete Stejskal's on http://pete-stejskal.blogspot.com/. The topic of his blog is The End of Print Media and the Rise of Modern Media. So if you want to learn something about the current situation of print media on the market, just go visit his blog:)

Lastly, I would like to recommend Sanja Ilic's blog on http://sanjailic.blogspot.com to visit. She deals with a topic of The Influence of the Media on People's Body Image. This topic caught my attention mainly because it is related to mine- Beauty in the Media.
