Exploring Body Image Issues via the Barbie Doll

Please consider yourself a "perfect" woman. Reflecting the dreams of each woman. You are definitely gorgeous, weighing 100 pounds, 6 feet in height, and almost 150 occupations (barbiemedia.com).

"In 2012, over 236,000 cosmetic treatments were given to patients aged 13 to 19 years old" (Zuckerman 1). Is this the world we want to live in? The image of the body is a question starting from 5 years old. It's time for children to touch their idol Barbie and Ken.
