The forth source I am blogging about is written by Larry Kirkwood. The article is titled “An Artist's Perspective on Body Image, the Media, and Contemporary Society.” Kirkwood conducts a project about body image and how we look at ourselves. In his project Kirkwood examines the image of what beauty truly is. He explains how we let things such as beauty define us, Kirkwood also includes the idea that we should not let others define us. The main point that  Kirkwood makes clear is that “health is not defined by size.” 

After reading this source I wonder what Kirkwood's overall goal was? I am most confused by him saying “America define reality for us, and encouraging body hatred is an extremely lucrative business." 

My final fifth source is about fashion dolls and what they are “Fashion Doll : From Bebe Jumeau to Barbie.” I found it important to include this because in my recent blogs I talk about fashion dolls and the affect they have on girls but I yet to explain them. In this post I will just give a quick view of what they are. Juliette talks about the use of Barbie dolls for art work. Peers talks about the issues that are brought up with the representation of the females.

After reading this source by Peers I wonder what she means when she says “The doll not only frequently looks like a woman, sometimes she is a woman; in fact she is a clear, unmistakable sign of women’s limited intellect, passivity, frivolity.” While reading this source I wonder why moms still buy there daughters Barbies even though they disapprove of them.
