Research memo #2
For my research memo 2 I looked on ebsco host for my articles. I found very good reliable sources to help support my evidence. My first article talks about how the show Toddlers & Tiaras. It is saying that this is causing younger children to have eating disorders. My second article is talking about the effect media has on a women’s body image, and it also goes into details about bulimia.
Article one is called “Toddlers &Tiaras TOO MUCH TOO SOON? (Cover story)”
In this article it talks about how people that have their children on the show and trying to sexualize their children by dressing them up in risqué outfits, fake teeth, spray tans, wigs, extensions French manicures and, fake eyelashes. According to doctors children in these pageants feel they are not beautiful without these things, which can lead to eating disorders and increase in wanting plastic surgery. This also talks about the cost of the pageants these girls are in. This puts stress on the parents and the children. I feel this article really shows how little things like fake hair can soon turn into fake teeth and fake cleavage. It really is good because it informs people how serious this issue can get.
Article two is called “LOSING Bodies”. In this article it talks about how the media affects are lives every day from what we eat to what are house looks like. The media affect millions of people worldwide. Women in different countries have problems with their body images, so they get plastic surgery or other procedures to fix things they do not like. In 1995, a television channel started broadcasting in Fiji. It showed imported U.S. shows, such as Friends. By 1998, a mere three years later, 11.9 percent of Fijian adolescent girls were over the toilet bowl with bulimia, where previously none existed. This really shocked me I knew media had an effect on people but not this extreme.
In research memo three I want to find many different sources to help show my point of how mad media affects body image. I know this is a problem in today’s society but I do not think is really looked at, because other problems are going on. I feel if people knew how serious this is there would be more help available and less cases of it.

Research Memo #3
For the first media example I used the song airbrush magazine by Paige Armstrong. In this song it talks about a regular girl who hides behind her makeup and all she wants to her is someone telling her is beautiful. She does not think she is beautiful like the girls she sees on television and magazines. This song talks about the struggles girls go though everyday of not thinking they are good enough because they do not look like the girls on TV and magazines.
For my second media I used a clip from an episode of Dr. Phil. Amy is a20 year’s old girl suffering though anorexia and bulimia, she is also considered a binge eater. She has had this disorder for 16years. She sees herself as very fat and very ugly. She was so scared to gain weight she would not wash or brush her teeth fearing there was calories it the toothpaste and that the water would seep thought her skin and make her hold water. She would even take throw up and put it in her mouth so that she was get sick and throw up. It is so bad she throws up to 150 times a day.
I original heard this song in church but it is not just a Christian band, but they really help someone she just how bad an eating order can get. The song is called sing me a love song again by Barlow Girl. In this video it shows a girl in the CSU (Crisis Stabilization Unit). She looks very thin, and people are making fun of her. Her father is forcing her to eat and her mother is trying to calm her by telling her it’s ok. She gets upset and goes up to her room where she is looking into a mirror and seeing that she is fat. Her life goes on and she sees that she is not fat and she is beautiful. “The tension is thick in the air Making it hard to see I fear what is to com And what will become of me I say a prayer help me not run away Will you please hold me”.

In this article it talks about how media is started to affect toddlers, and pageant contenders. It has been seen that they will grow up with body image problems thinking they are too fat or do not have enough makeup on. This is too much and the company of Toddles & Tiaras does not think this is a problem at all she thinks if they want to do it they should do it.
