This afternoon Shanzay and I decided to do some research in the form of watching a well-known documentary called Miss Representation. She paused it frequently as I quickly typed statistics into my computer and sat in awe at the truth about media's effects on young girls and women. Media has a way of hurting us so that we don't even realize it, and the best way to avoid this is to be educated. Think about it; If we didn't feel terrible about ourselves, who would be buying all these products to make us "better"? Low self-esteem is a marketing tactic and the quicker we realize this, the "better" off we will be.
There is so much more I could write about this movie but instead I advise you to watch the trailer for yourself, and when you have the time, watch the full movie.
