Sweeping analysis of research reinforces media influence on women’s body image
While women are mentioned in media, people often emphasize on their figures and outside beauties. Frances’s legislature worries this kind of advertisement will mislead people’s judgments and decides to put a ban against media which will have some bad influences on women. Researchers hold positive appraisal toward this decision and think that offers citizens a chance to think over. What kinds of information about women we will get form the media and whether we will be guided to wrong value about them? Although this policy does has great result, these researchers still hope that women can have their own abilities to think whether these resources are worth believing and changing themselves.
Media really has great power to change people’s consideration. This article gives us an example about how it works in the society. It is an efficient way to spread some new concepts and inform the masses about them. These ideas will circulate among people and become the issues they are discussing about. It is a good phenomenon that every citizen can fully express their personal point of view without interference.
By this way, women get to know more information about their position in the society. Their thought and feelings are limited from long time ago. But, this situation changes through long period of time. Now, they begin to understand that they can make choices for many things by themselves. With their own consideration and abilities, they can deal with their own errands instead of being bossing by other people.

I totally agree with the concept that media have a great impact on the public's values toward women. Sometimes I feel angry that some of them regard wowen as "product". Is it because of the media control people's mind?
After such long time, it’s really gratified that women can receive what belongs to them finally. Though some traditional conceptions still rooted deeply in peoples’ mind, we can change them through media and other method. Maybe you can find out some examples about the success of changing peoples’ conception. It will make your article more convincing.
I think you can write some movies as it mentiond "media influene" to support this idea.Or ask your claasmates which movies metion about femalism.
