Week Eight Assignment

2.)The main idea of this article is how the media views true beauty and how it should be determined in terms of specific standards.
3.)The author mentions that a female's body help the advertising of items from food to cars. Based on today's media women with thin waistlines and young in age are very important factors in determining a females "worth".And on the other hand, women who are heavy weight are likely to receive negative comments.
4.)The reason why researchers generated a computer model of a women being proportional to a barbie doll is to show that women that were skinny had some type of disorder and that most women try to mold their body into a barbie doll.
5.) I personally think that women should not follow the rubric expected by the media on the way to look and the way to dress.I believe that every woman is unique and special in every-way.I also dislike the fact that women go through extensive plastic surgery to make themselves something their not, such as facial implants and body modifications. I think the media should judge women based on their talents and capabilities.Based on the reading I came to the conclusion that women don't make these choices to shape their body because they want to, they do so because its expected by the media as the real definition of beauty.Women should just realize that true beauty is what's inside and not the physical appearance.

Texting While Driving (In Response to the video.)

This video made me realize that texting while driving is a very dangerous to not only teens but old drivers as well.The video demonstrates a great example on how a driver can be distracted.In addition to texting while driving the driver also had passengers that added to the distraction.This video affected my life to the point where I will never text while driving again,the choreography of the video made the scenes seem very realistic.I believe all drivers that have the habit of texting while driving should watch this video and also spread the word.
