Girls Generation s hardship
When life throws you lemons, make lemonade

It is an interesting story about nine girls that come from different families. Through several years of professional training primarily in singing and dancing, South Korean girl group called Girls' Generation was officially debut on the 5th of August 2007 by SM entertainment. For your information, Girls' Generation also known as SNSD or SoShi both abbreviated forms of the group's Korean name. I have learned a lots of life lessons and values from this magnificent group. For instance, they had taught me that ''when life throws you lemons, make lemonade'' .

Perhaps you are wondering what SNSD had did or faced in the past? Well, let me tell you the secret. First of all, there is an incident called the black ocean occurred in the Dream Concert. Dream concert is a concert where many popular Korean groups will perform on stage. However, during the performance of SNSD in Dream Concert on 7th of June 2008, all the audiences except SONE (SNSD's official fanclub) remained silent and turned off their light sticks. Therefore, only SONEs were cheering for their group, making SNSD’s official color pink as the only visible color in the stands. Can you imagine how disappointing and heartbreaking it must have been for them to perform in front of a silent and dark crowd? Being as busy as they are with their hectic schedules, an incident like that must have been such an emotional and mental strain. Nonetheless, SNSD was trying hard to hold back tears and continue to perform until the end. After that incident, SNSD didn't give up their dreams but keep on working even harder to contribute in the Kpop industry.

Furthermore, SNSD faced another obstacle in the same year when their song and music video named ''Dancing Queen'' cancelled due to legal and copyright issues. This caused them unable to release their first Korean mini album. However, SNSD thinks that as a part of the process in order to success. Instead of releasing "Dancing

    Paul Hokemeyer, a family therapist, once said “‘too often adolescents define themselves in relation to unhealthy role models and body types. For girls we know these body types are based on emaciated models’” (Parks 44). This statement is absolutely true. “1% of teenage girls suffer from anorexia, and 5% suffer from bulimia” (Parks 32). While that might not seem like an abundance of girls, if those percentages are plugged into how many teenage girls are in America, it is obvious that many young women endure these disorders. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 10, 736, 677 females 15-19 years old (Howden 4). That means that 107, 366 adolescent girls suffer from anorexia and that 536, 833 deteriorate from bulimia in America alone. There are many ideas behind the causes of eating disorders. These include the environment, genetics, the fashion industry, and many more. However, contrary to the belief that psychological illnesses such as bulimia and anorexia are hereditary, they are instead products of society’s strict definition of what’s beautiful, and this definition influences teenage girls into seeing themselves as imperfect, which in turn causes them to harm themselves by developing those eating disorder.…

    Women in America today are drastically different then the colonial women of yesterday. Today I can not imagine the life they lived. From preparing and processing food from scratch to sewing and mending clothes by hand. Imagine maintaining a household without the local Walmart handy to buy cleaning supplies, gives me a headache just thinking about it! Not to mention they had little value in the eyes of their husbands and community. After reading First Generations, Women in Colonial America, by Carol Berkin it is easy to say woman have come a long way from our early colonial women ancestors. In America today there is still a high number of domestic abuse cases on women and children. Domestic abuse is not only physical abuse but mentally, emotionally, spiritually and verbal. Simply put, domestic abuse can be described as oppression from another human being. However, there are laws against abuse today. Colonial women did not have help from authorities like women do today and possibly went back to their captors to be free from abuse and have a their voice heard in life.…

    The Korean entertainment industry for a long time studied and understood the concept of soft power and its uses on the world stage. They knew the only way to penetrate an American cultured global concept of the entertainment market is not by riding against the tidal wave of US cultural imperialism, but to adopt it. They understood that in order to appeal globally and make it, they had to transform the popular K-pop music production to be more American. And today, in the soft power stage, K-pop is considered to be South Korea’s most powerful weapon on the world stage. Bringing in revenues of billions to the country and making the country a top recognized business hub for investors from around the…

    The effects of media consumption by young girls in western society has resulted in making them feel guilty, shameful, and depressed based on their appearance. The media is filled with unrealistic expectations that are held for women.

    As a woman in society I have always had a hard time dealing with my body image and the pressures to fit in. There are so many burdens within society for women to fit a certain criteria to be accepted. The media has a lot to do with the way women perceive the way they "should" look and act. Friends and family are another source from which this perfect image stems from. It's not healthy for young girls and women to be stick thin and starving themselves just to go along with societal norms and look like everyone else. Women need to learn that it's okay to have they're own look and not be "perfect" because it's impossible and they'll die trying. Instead of worrying about what we look like in the mirror, we need to take a look inside and try to make ourselves better there first.…

    “You’re generation is what’s wrong with today’s society”. A common phrase that I hear on a weekly basis, or see posted by keyboard warriors on social media. I come from a family of two other brothers, me being the youngest, all of us being Millennials. My classmates and I bring up the tail end of the millennial generation, and have gotten to see how older members of our generation are taking part in society. The problem I have with some of the statements about how my generation interacts with society is that many of us are just getting to an age where we can actually participate. The end of our generation has just now gotten old enough to vote, and many are beginning to enter the job force after graduating college. However, I understand and agree with the concerns and stereotypes…
