Week 7

After seeing the video, my perception of media and how they portray women has remained the same. It made me change my thoughts about what we see in the media and what it really is. I was surprised to see how they transformed that women in looking so different just by using make up. After the woman already looked good, they still went an extra step and edited the womans facial features to make them better. This just shows that what the media shows can be very unreal.

Yes it does! Not only did they transform her with makeup, but with Photoshop too!

Very true, it showed the extent to which the media goes to totally transform the women to just an image and not an actual person. I mean its already a drastic change with pounds of make up but then going to the 9th mile with photoshop is even more ridiculous, its pathetic. I would never become a model for such a thing that wasnt portraying my individual characteristics. They turned to women into one of those plastic models, the perfect barbie doll beauty. Its disgusting.
