Media Messages:

I think the media messages that are being brought to us affect our identity. It affects our identity weather we choose to believe it or not. Are the messages towards everyone in the world? The majority of commercials on the television are about weight loss, hair and make-up products and aging cream. With all the commercials everybody any age are buy into the looking “younger” and “hotter” than ever. These days a lot of people are going on diets because the start to think they are fat. I think that we will have a lot more cases of anorexia in the future because of the commercials starting off with saying, “do you wish you could be thinner and better looking than ever” and different things like that.  Also we will have more cases with the pressure to look “right.” We also buy into all the make-up and aging cream commercials because they use famous people in them like, Vanessa Hudgens and Carrie Underwood.
