For example, it affects young women because it misleads them and discourages them from being unique. This shows that young adolescents are being exploited at a young age. For example, The media is used to deceive individuals into becoming someone they are not. The media portrayed women as sexual and men as lacking respect. A perfect woman described by men must be externally beautiful and have no intelligence. This video is powerful and expands the course material because it shows real cases in the video to show how adolescents suffer. This challenged my thinking, because from a young age, women should only focus on finding their inner self. They should be able to decide who they want to be and how they should dress. I agree that the media affects the mentality of younger generations because it uses social norms to tell them what is right and wrong. Additionally, this video helped me understand that it's time for women to have authority through success. I believe that women should not be devalued but admired for their intelligence. The data presented in the video challenged my thinking, as there are not many women in this country.
