The video the Dove beauty Commercial didnt not change the view that i see in the way the media tries to portray women. The video showed me that the women in the media are fake and they are not showen how they really are, but is like they put a mask on them. I feel that the media is really fake and i personalty woulnd join the media because i would like to see me how im really am and not by some fake picture.

week 6 beauty and body image in the media

The main idea of this article is that the media is portraying how women should look like even though if they have the actual body that women should have. The media shows how women should look like if they would have a perfect body by starving themselves and also by vomiting. Some of the reasons that the article explain the images of women is that when the women is insecure about their bodies they more likely going to buy beauty products, dieting aids and new clothes. I feel that women should be portrayed as the way they are and look, not trying to be someone that they’re not. Women need to accept the way they look and act when they are in front of a camera.

week 5

The main idea of this aricle is that is trying to prove is driving while on cell phones worse than driving while drunk.According to the Utah study people who drive while using a cell phone tend to be sluggish and drunk drivers tend to be aggressive. The signal words that helped me locate my answers were: like, were, while, and, is. A hands-free cell phone is just as dangerous as the use of a handheld cell phone because you are not concentrating on what you driving you are paying attention to what the person on the phone is saying.The cell phone industry states that ,"We believe educating drivers on how to best handle all of the possible distractions when you're behind the wheel is the most effective means to make better drivers, and that legislation focusing on a specific behavior falls short of that well intended goal and creates a false sense of security," Walls said.Meaning that cell phones don't cause accidents and if they did cause accidents there would be a big amount of accidents since they have been invented.
