just a young woman but as I grew up I
realized
not easy to find success and create my
persona what do I do about this issue I
find that it helps to find a role model
or someone who we can look up to a
family member a friend or even a famous
person usually this day and age we do
that by going on social media or looking
at a magazine and saying I want to be
successful too or I also want to be rich
famous and successful we obviously
cannot blame ourselves for thinking that
we are human but the key is to find the
right person who we can look up to
you see the trouble for me is how the
media treats the females that I can look
up to when it comes up artists and
actresses on the media there is
something very unjust on how we are
portrayed my research showed how
inequitable these portrayals are when I
searched take Google for example when I
searched out famous female artists and
actresses on the medium the words nude
sex and sexy stood out I wanted to see
if the same thing was happening for
males
I only removed those two letters off it
female to create the word male the words
I came up with lady legendary and
lifestyle keep in mind that these
pictures do not come from provocative
magazines but from a magazine that you
can buy in your local grocery store but
we should be asking ourselves is it why
is it okay for females to be portrayed
this way over males to be portrayed
fully dressed if we are both successful
enough to be to be shown like this why
is it okay for females to be it’s some
sort of naked if not fully naked in
magazine covers but men fully dressed
and 16a successful now only is there a
difference in how we are portrayed there
is a difference in how we are paid
although females and male athletes play
the same sports in the college and
professional level there is a drastic
change in how we are paid and 2015 the
u.s. female soccer team took home
two million dollars for winning the
World Cup but in 2014 the male soccer
team the Germany male soccer team took
home 35 million dollars for winning the
World Cup Tamika Catchings is one of the
best female basketball players on the
decade and even has three Olympic gold
medals
she makes three to four million dollars
off of endorsements and is currently on
court
Kevin Garnett a player like Tamika makes
ten million dollars of off of just 19
Dortmund and is currently off court why
is it okay for females to be paid less
than males even though they’re both
playing in the same sport in the same
level why is it okay for females to be
represented as less than males even
though they’re both successful enough to
win and they’re both successful enough
to be really famous and well-known
female politicians have to endure the
same in justices female politicians are
seen as too Stern if their political
views are too strong or as too soft or
as too weak if their political views are
not strong enough and to the underneat
Michelle Obama was was named the seventh
least influential people selfless
influential people and in 2012 GQ
magazine pictured her with a big head
getting ice cream as a midnight snack
Michelle Obama then went on to seem to
make herself seem more likable why
should our political leaders have to
change their opinions some people like
to blame it on the fact that we have
very few female politician leaders but
why should that matter when we are both
when we were all successful genders but
we are all successful enough to state
our own opinion and want to make a
change for our people
like I said before this all relates back
to teenagers and the media we as
teenagers are always on the media and
when we see our role models being
portrayed this way it makes us confused
on who to rely on we should be seen as
the equal successful human beings that
we can be female should be as successful
as males can be on the media the
misrepresentation projects envisions a
project where all genders and minorities
are seen as equal and represented as
equals on the media we should be able to
take something like the media that we
created change and make yourself seem
more successful so we can show that we
can all do the same job and we can all
be equals we should take something like
the media change it for the better and
not make yourself seem be seen as less
not for just females but for all genders
and minorities which we should all be
equally represented not misrepresented
