What is really pretty?

Quotes:

1. “My waist didn’t dip into an hourglass” Quotes like this really makes women feel bad about themselves. Sometimes causing eating disorders. When comparing this quote to cartoon craters you can see how women feel un pretty. They see women like Bell or Pocahontas, both very fit women and can be seen as beautiful. Women try to be compare themselves to pretty women like this trying to aim for that goal of beauty. To me I don’t like this because beauty is on the inside not the outside. You can be beautiful by what you do, say, and act on. Women should not subject themselves to think that they need to be thin to be beautiful. If you do feel this way, watch Jessica Simpsons show on MTV its great way to look at beauty with different cultures.
2. “Children’s cartoon, movies, and literature are perhaps the most influential genre.” I agree with this so much because if you look at movies you see thin beautiful women, Catherine Higal, Angelina Jolie and Meagan Fox, all beautiful women that men go gaga over. Of course media has a valid roll in what women think is beautiful and as much as I hate to say it, it can’t be stopped. The only way to stop it is to not feed into it.
3. “How do films portray overweight people?” if I grabbed a bunch of movies and watched them its known that fat people on TV are shown to be ugly, unattractive to guys, and hated. But those odds are now changing more and more for movies like, UGLY BETTY,HAIRSPRAY and MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, all women that are little over weight and happy. Look at Tiara banks she is happy and successful and has a couple pounds on her.
4. In the story of “A Black Cinderella” it made me think of the first black Disney channel princess. The Princess and the Frog. It was a great movie and was the first black princess.
5. “Many who watched cartoons before was start out study say they can no longer enjoy them. Now instead of seeing a bunch of ducks in clothes they see the racisms, sexism and violence that swim under the surface of the stories” can we talk about this one in class please and thank you!!!!
