Barbie Dolls

Barbie One day, people are more concerned about their appearance, their image, especially women. This is because the media has had a big impact on their vision. Not only does the media influence women such, fashion dolls, mainly Barbie dolls also have many influences. Barbie was originally designed for girls, but today's women believe that she is the ideal person, so they believe that this is what they should be.

In Barbie's verse, the author Marge Piercy believes that American Barbie is usually a "perfect" woman. This makes people laugh for appearance reasons, expecting Barbie-like images. This doll symbolizes what a woman should be and what he is fighting for. Barbie makes me misunderstand the children when I was young, I feel pressure to act by looking at this unrealistic image. When thinking about the word Barbie, people often think about her unrealistic figure - plump waist, thin thighs, long legs - though less than 2% of American women want to reach this level It is. Does not everyone want to be all this? As we grow we recognize that it is unrealistic and unachievable, but as a child and as a young adult it may make girls around the world mislead.

A total of 162 girls aged 5 to 8 were exposed to Barbie dolls, Em dolls (US No. 16), or without dolls (baseline management), and then completed the body image evaluation. Girls exposed to Barbie had lower physical self-esteem under other exposure conditions and strong demand for body shape. But this direct negative effect of Barbie is no longer evident among older girls. These findings show that even if the doll ends up as an ideal role model for older girls, early exposure to a doll reflecting an unrealistic lean body would damage the girl's body image, Raised the risk of diet and weight loss.
