Project Reflection
My project aims to address the issue of sexualizing females in the media. Over time, the use of female bodies in advertisements has caused a lot of controversies amongst different groups of people. Many people, particularly women, blame the media for creating negative images in women’s minds concerning themselves. Many women aspire to be like the women they see on adverts and in magazines. Many of these images have however been manipulated to fit into the idea of media perfection. My thesis therefore states that; the media should focus on an equal representation of all women to avoid cases of women feeling less of themselves. The cons of this project is that it will focus on the struggles of women around the world in fitting into the picture that is deemed perfect by the media. On the down flip, some women view their representatives on the media as demigods and do their best to fit in that image. Addressing this issue will therefore receive support only from a particular class of women.
I feel confident about this presentation because I believe it will address an issue that has affected the society in a negative way. Coming up with this project was not very difficult because I was set on addressing an issue that affects women at a global level. In writing this paper, I have come to terms with the problems women face in a daily basis. In revising my project, I would love to address the different opinions given by real women whom I have interacted with throughout this project. The most difficult step is to interact with the women in the field and to ask them their opinions about this matter. The easiest part is doing the research using primary and secondary sources in the library.
