Today my media class finished watching the frontline documentary, The Merchants of Cool. This part of the documentary focused on the marketing classification for a teenage girl called a "midriff." It think it is horrible that the media sells this unrealistic image of what women should look like and how they should act. It is saying that looks are everything. I think it is even worse that people buy into this stereotype by changing themselves. Also they showed clips from MTV shows such as spring break and I thought it was pathetic how people acted just to be on the camera. Even though it might be the medias fault for starting unrealistic stereotypes it is our own fault for believing them.
