3.

The articles and videos we have read and watched during class are eye opening to the problems of our society. I have taken one of the videos about beauty and compared it with our community and people in my school. The video about what the perception of beauty in the United States is, demonstrates beauty is secretly being used as a weapon towards woman, lowering woman,and making them seem like objects through the media. This causes men to be lead into liking a woman because of their appearance more than personality and develops a relationship based on looks which can lead to negative results like mistreating woman. Men learning to treat woman as an object could not take the relationship seriously and not have feelings for their girlfriend or wife because they mostly are led by an appearance which can develop an abusive relationship.
During school I have noticed many guys are interested only in girls who are attractive or closer to what the media shows to be attracting. What is wrong about this is that they only go out with them because they are pretty but do not know how their personality is. Many guys I’ve heard talk about their girlfriends and just say how “hot” their body is “or how she has “a big butt or breast” or also exposing what they’ve done with them and out loud, but I have never heard any positive comments about their personality. Me who are influenced by the media and have set their standards by it have shown to not be respectful to woman and since it will become worst men will lose respect for woman causing more murder or conflicts because they are degrading woman.
