Risky Business Draft (J#16)
Thesis: Females Are Affected in A Bad Way By the Media
“That looks really cute!”, is the kind of response you would get from women and girls when they see the media. The way the media works is to attract the viewers with things that’ll catch their eyes or keep them interested. When woman see a pretty female or an adorable outfit; they want to portray in themselves what they see. It’s a given that everyone has insecurities and when those insecurities get targeted by TV shows, movies, ads, or music; they get hit hard and fall into a deeper depth. The results are negative and can become a long-term affect.
Females can be pressured by the media in two ways. One way is by their physical appearance self-esteem. Woman, young teens, and little girls are inspired by what they see in the Media especially with movies, celebrities, and TV shows. They learn from what they see and bring themselves to grow towards that way. This may be a good thing but it affects mostly in a bad way. As these woman are sitting at home and they see a advertisement for Victoria Secret products; they see the good-looking, small-bodied, perfectly-tanned models and almost immediately they notice their faults and start to hate their appearance. The outer and inner emotions of the media are decreasing an individuals self-confidence and comfort with their own body. This leads to emotional and self-image problems. Young girls compare themselves to the “perfect” faces and bodies. They change themselves and take it to an extreme.
The other way the media pressures females is through relationship status’. The low self-esteem and self-image distortion lead to mental and physical impairments. Also, this could lead to depression. Low self-esteem can make woman accept lower quality partners and let in serious offenses like domestic violence. They have the result of not being able to maintain a long relationship and harm their sexual development. When they are their most vulnerable; their partner may take that as an advantage to themselves. Not being able to keep up a proper relationship status is serious because it affects the way they are viewed by society. They are approached with lower expectations and cheap appearance that make become a benefit to a partner.
As you can see, one advertisement on the media could lead females in the wrong direction. It may bring them to a deep hole that they will find the most difficult to climb out of. Considering their already low self-love, they will have the negative and almost scary thought to life. Health issues start developing; putting their lives at a serious stake. Teens are so affected by what the media incorporates. The message that they send out unknowingly is that teens are not good enough to make it. Media attacks the lowest points of the teenage minds. If this problem keeps up at this rate; society will never make a good impression on the world.

Journal #15
Thesis: Females are affected by media pressure in a negative way.
Con: Girls are subjected to media components they find themselves interested in. They will watch or expose themselves to what they want to see. The media is only there for their own entertainment. They can be affected in a good way by making them more positive about themselves and getting involved into things they never expected themselves to get involved in.
Pro #1: Media only washes the minds of young teens and women. Sure its inspirational but an inspiration to harm themselves. Through physical appearance, females border themselves to what they see on TV, movies, and ads. They point out their flaws and try to fix them and totally forget about their best aspects.
Pro #2: Females get affected through their self-esteem and relationship status'. They feel self-conscious and breaks down their confidence. Thus making it easier for anything (like men) to come into their lives and take at advantage. Self-confidence is needed for them to survive otherwise they get themselves in harm or take things to its extremes.
