The way that women are portrayed in advertisements and television
shows is very degrading. Women have to live up to certain standards such as
flat stomachs, big breasts and perfect skin. We are constantly being
shown images of these fake people over the span of our lives and those images
are becoming the norm of how woman feel they should act and look. It has caused
an abundance of self esteem problems for many girls, especially teenagers
who are trying so hard to fit into their peer groups and feel accepted.

Easy A and Facebook
Facebook the Panopticon
In today’s societies
it seems that any person on this planet could have greater control within your
life then yourself. The amount of strangers that know about our lives today is
so great, and it is very easy for them to access. This reminded me of the scene
in the movie "Easy A" when a teacher was able to hear things about
students from Facebook.
