--Summary:
Alberti required for a day
that her female schoolmates come to school without makeup. This is to build
their self-confidence. Julia asked a magazine to promise not to beautify photos
and to be honest about the process. Mass media portrays impossibly thin, barely
dressed female with perfect features. This gives an impossible model for girls
and continuously causes low self-esteem and anorexia. The Girl
Scouts of America puts effort against mental problem caused by the model. They
may better the image of girls of every ethnic. However, it takes time.
--Opinion:
The image of
thin body figure is formed deeply in most girls’ mind. Mass media always chooses slim models to be presented to
the public. Since
people commonly just blindly think that
the models are beautiful, girls
tend to admire them and thus lose a lot of weight at a younger age in order to fit the ‘traditional
beauty’. For example, even
Alberti still struggles against the images. When asked if she also thought of
herself as pretty, she paused, then said, "I'm still working on that. It's
a little harder to do it yourself." Therefore, the stereotypical way of
media portraying female really affect girls and women’s opinion on what is
beauty, and causes them to lose self-confidence.
