media

This week we talked about media's effect on gender and people in general. It actually freaked me out quite about. As much as people don't like to admit it we all are trying to fufuill the stereotype the media creates for our gender. Girls try to be as thin as models and boys try to have a body like hercules which in reality can't exist. It's sad to think that media is setting us up for failure because no one can ever look like and image that the media creates and manipulates. As much as we try to  get away from media it is everywhere starting from when you are born. You get consumed by tv commercials or websites that send messages to kids at a young age trying to brand or mold them into something they can never become. I have become quite angry over this issue because I guess I feel hopeless about the situation and kind of used. It makes me feel that in life there is always and alternative reason for doing things and that is what angers me most. I partake in everything that I've written here but I wish there was some way to stand up against media companies sending out unrealistic ideals.
