beauty standards that people feel they need to follow is going to hurt not only this generation, but generations to follow. Having certain advertisements in mainstream media and the magazine covers that we see when we take a trip to the grocery store all have an effect on how we see one another. When you pick up a magazine, you’ll mostly…
“extremely encouraging” in promoting their eating disordered behavior.” (Levitt 1997; Reaves et al. 2004).

vote for a particular candidate or buy a certain product. This is done through agents of persuasion. By analyzing several different perfume ads from two different magazines we can discern the intended audience, the message, and the different routes of persuasion used.

Gun control will keep people safe. Many people are able to purchase gun magazines ( large cases of bullets) to use in their guns. People should be watched along with gun purchases. If we have gun control and watch how many magazines are purchased we could help prevent many problems. When people are able to get their hands on…
look like that too. However, real women aren’t models, and look quite different than the expectations set by magazine covers. Average American women weigh quite more than American models, while also being much shorter. This is upsetting to young women because no matter how hard they try, they’ll never have the body of a model. The article Depleting Body Image: The Effects of Female Magazine Models on the Self-esteem and Body Image of College-age Women states: “The…
