Barbie

This week in sociology, we talked about the "Barbie" image. We were shown how the actual proportions of barbie would look if she was human. It was very interesting and surprising to see how abnormal the Barbie image would be. Growing up, I always admired barbie and would always say I want to look like barbie. Most girls would say the same thing. Why do we admire barbie so much though? Because it was drilled into our heads that being insanely skinny with a big chest is what was pretty. It is sad to see how many people are affected by that and how the media makes it worse.
