It's only in the past sixty years that thinness became the standard for beauty, and women were expected to have considerable curves, and if look at pictures of great beauties from the early 1900's, youthful body of the sylph, personified by the model Kate moss. The materialism and power dressing of the affluent, glossy, competitive eighties were discarded in the eco-friendly ‘purity ‘of the early nineties. More recently, GIRL POWER’S brash glamour is paired with laddishess in a period where girls must act like boys to get ahead; evidence of same elements of vitality and variety to the relentless idealisation of the thin body underpinned by the billion dollar FISHION, cosmetic and slimming industries.(Sarah Gamble page 118). Kilbourne (2002) pointed out that advertising is a 100 billion dollar a year industry. Each day we are exposed to more than 2000 ads. Advertising can be one of the most powerful sources of education in society. Many women feel pressured to conform to the beauty standards of our culture and are willing to go to great lengths to manipulate and change their faces and bodies. Kilbourne suggests that women are conditioned to view their faces as masks and their bodies as objects. Through the mass media, women discover that their bodies and faces are in need of alteration, augmentation, and disguise. In addition, women are taught to internalize an observer’s perspective of their own bodies. This phenomenon is called objectification (Fredrickson & Noll, 1997).
You’ll see some amazing feminine forms. Lilly Langtry One of the most beautiful women of her time, she was world-famous for her beauty at her time. The female body is ordered and perfected into an idealised form, which stands as a symbol of objectified female beauty. One thing I have to say is that talking about beauty leads talking about women. At one time the word ‘beauty’ was used to mean ‘women,’ and even today most of us apply the word ‘beautiful’ to women (and scenery) rather than to men. Many beautiful women in the world. These women are selected from beautiful supermodels, fashion, movies, music and other arenas are filled with exquisite women each unique not only in respect of their talents but also in terms of their looks. The one thing linking them together is their beauty that shines through. Let us know through comments who is the most stunning and breathtaking?
I think most women are motivated to diet in order to fit a particular clothing size. Attain thin bodies by dieting, exercising, and body contouring surgery, encouraging female consumers to believe that they can and should be thin. there is a greater preference for fuller lips in our society.
life is much simpler when clothes fit the person, rather than the other way around. I thank this is because men enjoy, The term ‘patriarchal’ refers to power relations in which women’s interests are subordinated to the interests of man. these power relations take on many forms, from the sexual division of labour and the social organisation of procreation to the internalised norms of femininity by which we live patriarchal power rests on social meaning given to biological sexual difference.(Sarah Gamble, ch 1,page 3, 2001).
Hollywood is producing movies like what Women Want in order to teach a generation of cavemen the new rules.
Like today Hollywood view of the world changed significantly as they became much more aware as then.... Movies culture spread around the world with the advent of Hollywood women. the editors go on, are oppressed within the film industry (they are receptionists ,secretaries, odd jobs girls, prop girl, etc)they are oppressed by being packaged as images ( sex objects, victims or vampires ) and they are oppressed within FILM THEORY, by MALE critics who celebrate directors like Hitchcock or Sirk for their material – often the humble ‘woman’s picture’ or ‘weepie’. The editors own project that we not only interpret representation of the world, like the world itself. (Sarah Gamble, page 93).Today's world is a woman's world and in order for men to succeed they must learn to think like a woman thinks. 21th century to the new rules, right is what women want. Women must be accepted as they are. Before we go any further. This is not an article about how women aren’t equal to men; Women are tougher and stronger, smarter and more intuitive than men in many ways.. I truly believe that men and women are equal. The woman is better than man in many ways. Women are just as strong as men in both physical and emotional. If we weren't then how have we achieved all that we have? for example women never used to work and it certainly wasn't a man that changed that it was a woman, a woman that was very strong willed and determined a woman who although was female was a lot stronger that a hell of a lot of men!! We then managed to get equal pay and that was because we outsmarted the men. Men and women are equal if not women are higher, without women men would be nothing, can you imagine Adam without eve? Men make women sound inferior but that is only because men are fearful of strong independent women because we are so powerful! Women are not more powerful than men and men are not more powerful the women we are both human beings we have amazing things together imagine a world without the opposite sex we need both men and women . And men aren’t scared of the independent women and women not afraid of the independent man. We are both equa in charge of the world for Were equal in every way.
In the movie Mel Gibson discovers that he can hear what women are thinking as a result of an accident. Eventually he loses this "gift," but not before he learns what women want. As a result, with no outside help except for an electrical short in his hair dryer in his bathroom, Mel transforms himself from a chauvinist to a sensitive male.
One of the most underrated actors of our time. This film starts with a very unique, funny idea, and it does not disappoint in terms of how good it can be executed. Well casted, well directed and very funny film.
In same culture have made it clear that many women are nothing more than show they are bodies’ attraction and many women exploit themselves by wearing revealing or tight clothing (especially the most insecure women). I'm not saying that all women should cover, but they should maybe consider what image they are giving off when they wear certain things. Show off as much of it as possible, and is alive simply for the pleasure of men. If they don't want their men looking at other women they should not dress so other men will look at their bodies. Many Cultures Prefer a Fuller Women’s Figure, so it makes me wonder how our world will change over the next few decades.
In ways of seeing (1972), John Berger made the connection between the visual language of ADVERTISING and publicity, with its emphasis on idealised, objectified bodies, and the conventions of Old Master painting. One of the most enduring idealisations of the female body is the high art cultural from of the painted or sculpted nude. (Sarah Gamble, page 119).Images of female bodies are everywhere more than male bodies. Through television, radio, movies, music, the internet, and advertising, many women are portrayed as sex toys. It’s a look at how many women are secretly being manipulated by man, into living lives that are alien to their true inner nature; and how most women are suffering because of it. The pressure to maintain a low bodyweight amongst fashion models in particular leads to a high incidence of Eating disorders , Divorce, overwork, overstress, plastic surgery, depression, suicide ~ something strange is happening to women.Young girls are taught by media that getting drunk, acting aggressively, and having sex with multiple partners. These TV shows have a negative influence on young women and young men, and they have a negative impact on society over time. Add to this the fact that women are made to feel inadequate by the mass media by repeated exposure to printed ads, magazines, television shows, and movies that feature excessively thin, beautiful, young and flawless models. We all know that this blatant in-your-face marketing of such impossible-to-achieve standards of beauty only hurts young women and older women, rather than the ‘good works ‘of a century age.(page 119).
In my world, I love you and care about you so much. Women, God created the first man and woman in His own image. You have been created in the very image of God and have eternal worth. He loves you, and you are His perfect creation. God did not create you to be a toy for men’s passions, but to serve and glorify Him with your lives. Regardless of what the world calls beauty, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL because of who you are in Christ! It is Christ, not the world that makes you beautiful. It is the unconditional love God has for you that makes you special, not how many men lust after you. To make you beautiful.
The power and rights of women: Many educated women in the world assume that women's right. Women are serving at virtually every level of government, e.g., Chancellor Merkel in Germany and Hillary Clinton as the US Secretary of State. Argentine president elected in the twenty-first century, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Australia's first female Prime Minister Australia Prime Minister she said women needed to have a far greater representation in positions of authority.
‘It is clear that globally much more needs to be done," Ms Gillard told The Sunday Time."CHOGM is a great opportunity to inspire the women and girls of the commonwealth to aim high and believe that nothing should stand in the way of achieving their dreams.
