Journal 6 Miss Representation
We the media have cheeped hooked women into objects of a
haunting, and horrific nature. Misrepresentation exploits the abuse in a straightforward
informative fashion, but it more importantly inspires you to action. By the end
of the film you want to stand up, stand tall and stand for something. This
problem we have with over sexualizing women is a product of media enterprises
around the world that have sold ideas of women that aren’t who women really are.
How do you stop a shift that has been consistently dominating the media
corporations for years. This snowball effect has now become a daily dose of
what are minds are consuming. I’m sick over the young minds that are warped and
dissolution with the exact opposite of what we should be teaching not only
young girls, but boys alike. Mutual respect is the common place. This is
pressure after pressure with foolish unrealistic expectations of what and who
women are. We say media, but we often take on character roles and reinforce
this type of behavior without a second thought, it has become second nature.
Many times men are still making these decisions that paint women in a light
where lets just say there not shinning their brightest. If this continues we
are destroying what it means to even be human. When image is the main
attraction, and no appreciation of ones intellect or talent, that becomes
dangerous, and the lines are blurred. Consciousness is partially made up of
what we watch on a daily basis, no change will occur if the same groups of
people continue to have the last say. In addition, and I’ll end with this,
movies or film are most certainly nothing like the originals. Blockbusters run
together, I feel like I’m watching the same thing on replay, where is the
substance? I have not seen a better portrayal of the President of the United
States of America than When Geena Davis led the country in Commander and chief.
Perhaps this is a good time to consider multiple shifts in consciousness. Let’s
start with mutual respect.
