Samenvatting
According to Webster's Dictionary, media is 'a medium of cultivation,
conveyance, or expression'1. It contains newspapers, magazines, television, radio,
the internet, video games, and much more. Undoubtedly, not only men but also
women appear in media. Along with it, women are bombarded by lots of media
pictures every day, nowadays. Those pictures present women who are beautiful
only if they are slim, pretty, and culturally accepted.
In the opinion of the viewers, television is supposed to be the medium that
is most 'real'. In that case, one has to question the correctness of the images of
women on television and how this affects the attitudes of the viewers.
Advertisements are probably the most influential products on television. Here,
women are mainly pictured as a housewife who is married, with children, and
who is obsessed with cleanliness or as a sex object who is tall, with long legs,
wonderful teeth, hair, and skin. Similarly, the image of women as sex objects can
be found in other media such as magazines, music clips, or video games. One can
find many examples for each. Thus, Britany Spears hardly wears any clothes in
her music videos and men who are shown in the background of music clips are
fully clothed while women in the same position are close to be naked2. If you have
look at computer games you won`t find many women in it but if so they are very
much sexualized - 'wearing tight revealing clothes and having unrealistically
large breasts, and distorted small waists'3 - such as Lara Croft.
This paper will deal with those images of women and consequently the
effects of them. Concerning the effects this work will concentrate on the
increasing prevalence of plastic surgery, especially among teenagers, eating
disorders, and low self-esteem nowadays.
