Media's Negative Representation of Genders.

Why does the media only display what they want to instead of the actual truth. I believe that the media has a negative influence on how women are suppose to look, and dress. Media displays women in many commercials as sexy and beautiful. The problem with this is their roles in these commercials are negative. For an example beer, and cigarette commercials. Women are perceived as beautiful when they drink or smoke. But in actuality drinking and smoking causes health problems, weight gain, and many other issues.

The men on the other hand are shown to be tough and muscular. One of the problems with this is; if your not muscular or physically fit, you can fix that problem with steroids and other muscle enhancing drugs.
