    She identifies that the society she, and all the other mothers, are raising their children in is a “toxic cultural environment” (126), “where they’re surrounded by unhealthy images about sex and relationships” (126). While she thinks her daughter should stray away from the stereotypes of women, she believes rebellious behavior has been equated to casual and impetuous sex. She goes on to support her claim by giving examples of how schools are targeted and affected negatively by ads. While smoking and drinking were mentioned as typical rebellious behavior as well, it seemed like her biggest concern was objectification, sexualization of teenagers, and body image, because when she compared physically toxic air to unhealthy images of sexuality a sense of motherly concern comes…

    It also contributes to precocious sexualization by encouraging flirtatious behavior in the pageants; teaching these girls to be objects for others’ pleasures. These children are learning that acting sexy will get others’ attention, a problem young girls are having even though it is not their intention to come across with that connotation. He blames reality T.V. for making these girls focus more on physical appearance rather than their self – esteem. Even though pageant life can be relentless according to Hollandsworth, in section five, he blames the mothers and pageant agents for depriving these pageant girls from having a so call “normal child life.” He also presents the reader with the question of who are these girls doing pageants for?

He also talks about the financial cost Eden’s parents are undergoing for her to experience life outside Taylor, Arkansas.

    Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how this use of photoshopping is negatively affecting young women. Whereas some are convinced that girls put the pressure on themselves, others maintain that the media is to be held responsible for exerting pressure to have the “perfect body.” It is sometimes said that Kim Kardashian, a well-known celebrity, is a role model for these young women and girls. Recently, Kim Kardashian posted a naked selfie, edited using Instagram, claiming that this act was self-empowering. Kardashian herself writes for her online blog, "I am empowered by my body . . . I hope that through this platform I have been given, I can encourage the same empowerment for girls and women all over the world” (qtd. in Filipovic). Basically, what Kardashian was trying to say here is that girls and women should love their body no matter what they look like. Kardashian and other celebrities like her are speaking out for body image and are trying to help girls realize they don't have to have a flawless body; however, these flawless bodies, like Kardashian’s, are the types of bodies that are seen in advertisements for the fashion…

    Yes, I do believe media is responsible for the self-esteem and image for young girls and women. Media is something that everyone sees. According to the video people spend more than 10 hours a day looking at media. If someone spends 10 hours a day looking at media, that is almost half of the day. That means that most of the day is spent watching the females in media that are ‘perfect’. After seeing these ‘perfect’ girls everyday for hours on end than yes, they are going to start to believe that they are flawed and they should look like those ‘perfect’ girls or they are not good enough for anything. From a young age little girls are exposed to these false images of women. Those images stay with the little girl that grows to a teenager and then an adult all while believing that she should look more like the girls in media. With not being able to look like these flawless women, females are going to believe they are not good enough.…

    Part of the blame in childhood disappearing is placed on the parents of the children that encourage what is portrayed on this show while the other blame is placed on the greedy entertainment business that is allowing children to be sexualized, on television, to profit financially from it. In “Toddlers and Tiaras,” young girls are dressed in extravagant dresses, with their hair and makeup worn like women, spray-tanned, swaying down the runway showcasing their beauty and being judged for it. This poses another problem with a society where adults encourage children to act like more mature because it is easier for adults to relate to someone similar to themselves. The mothers in this show are insistent on their daughters modeling because of the mothers' possibly unrealized desires to have modeled sometime throughout their own lives. The sexualization of girls has significant consequences, such as negative effects on cognitive and emotional development in women and an increase in sexual harassment and violence in men toward women. If this show sexualizes and exploits young girls by allowing them to dress in provocative clothes such as the prostitute in “Pretty Woman,” girls are losing their…

    On August 25, 2013 the world watched in disgust as celebrity Miley Cyrus twerked and gyrated on stage at the Video Music Awards Show. People caused a fuss over her back up dancers all being African American women with large derrieres, her twerking, pointing to her feminine area on her body, pushing her face in one of her dancers derriere while smacking it, grinding on a foam finger, and grinding on a married man. The sociological perspective on deviance is described by “sociologist Howard S. Becker [as]: It is not the act itself, but the reactions to the act, that make something deviant” (Henslin 190). Although this behavior is deemed as normal in music videos and clubs, it was considered unacceptable because Miley Cyrus started her career as a child star on Disney Channel; a cable network that targets children of all ages. Miley started on a sitcom called Hannah Montana and quickly became popular with kids. Even though the star is now 20 years old and no longer work as Hannah Montana she is still considered that little girl from Disney and it shocked the world for her to behave in such a way.…

    Parents see themselves as a protector for their child in particular their daughters. The guardians of the child are over thinking the idea that Barbie is some kind of sex symbol. A parent who allows their child to watch television is more in danger of a bad influence, than a toy named Barbie. Motz exclaims “a girl playing with a Barbie doll can envision herself with a mature body.” And later in the same paragraph “focusing on bodily changes of the female body associated with puberty, of course to the and of puberty girl do not know.” (Motz paragraph 5 pg 17) Girls in this group understand Barbie is a character and is fictional.

These are real threats to a developing females mental state. Their real and they are everywhere.…
