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 will we get form the media? Will we be guided to a wrong value about them? Although this policy does has outcomes, 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 points of view without interference.

Therefore, more and more people start to use television and other media as a way to advocate their new ideas about female issues. Gradually, more and more senses of people's right and will which we have never known before are revealed. Besides, people are more familiar with this kind of new thoughts.

By this way, women get to know more information about their positions in the society. Their thought and feelings are limited from long time ago. But, this situation changes through a long period of time. Now, they begin to understand that they can make choices for many things by themselves. With their own considerations and abilities, they can deal with their own errands instead of blessed by other people.
