The main idea of the article is to show how beauty and body image in the media affect women. The reasons are that popular films and television actresses are becoming younger, taller, and thinner. Women's magazines are full of articles arguing that if they can just lose those last twenty pounds, they'll have it all the perfect marriage, loving children, and a rewarding career. Researchers show this model in order to show young women that a lack of nutrition and trying to become really thin will cause them to be like barbie.
I think that women should be looked upon as how talented they are in media and not how they look like based on their weight and beauty. Also I think that women should try to have an average weight and not do excessive dieting while in the media. Women should be seen as positive role models in media rather than being negative.

Do you really see that women re shown to be negative role models?? Thank goodness for Queen Latifah.
the truth is taht todya womne in teh media dont have self respect.they care about what other people want to see not what they are.
You are right man, the women and girls portrayed in the media are more of negative role models then positive ones. Women should develop the courage and capability to present themselves as the way they naturally are such as queen latifa and tyra banks.
I agree with everything you said
