Just because she began her essay with, “We know that…” doesn't make the following information be considered “common knowledge” as she put it. Also, the information she included in her essay was the exact same information as in the original text, just worded differently; this is still considered

In Susan Bordo’s article “Never Just Pictures,” she expresses her understanding of how images in the media alter the way our society sees itself. She starts off addressing how critical society has become about the weight of those in the spot light. This cruelty has emerged from critics comparing those in the media such as, athletes, actors, news castors, etc. to super models who are expected to remain at an extremely low weight percentage for fashion shows and photo shoots. In just about every magazine, there are advertisements for a weight loss products or promises, or show models glamorized while they look to be on the verge of starvation. She implies that magazine editors only care about selling products and do not consider the effect the

Everyday people stare at billboards, magazine covers, movies, television, or pictures on the Internet of someone or something that they classify as beautiful. Some things people glance over and other things fascinate them. For example, when Farrah Fawcett’s famous picture of her in her red bathing suit came out; many teenage boys hung that picture in their bedrooms. Their idea of Farrah’s beauty was based strictly her outward appearance.

I am writing in response to your request that I analyze “Don’t Ban Photos of Skinny Models” and make a recommendation for or against publication in The Shorthorn. I have assessed the rhetorical appeals of the article and determined that it will make a big impact on the readers of The Shorthorn. With that said, readers are very likely to find this article interesting, since it addresses a very controversial issue of how women are given unrealistic body images by the media that they are pressured to adhere to. I am confident that most of the UTA community would agree that the media has an unrealistic ideal for what a woman’s body should look like, and Friedman’s claim that women should be able to determine how their body should look.

The results showed that fashion magazines articles and pictures had a strong influence on the perceptions of weight and body shape and

The female body image is highly influenced by the mass media and the media’s portrayal of women, ‘70% of college women say they feel worse about their own looks after reading women’s magazines’ (University of Massachusetts & Stanford University, 2006), the portrayal of women in the media has an unrealistic approach and brings out body dissatisfactions and this results in eating problems and disorders.

Albert Einstein, a famous scientist once said, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” In relation to this quote, a place of peace cannot be created, it has to be naturally formed by people who understand one another, and understand that certain places need to be peaceful. In Elijah Anderson’s The Cosmopolitan Canopy; Race and Civility in Everyday Life, he describes places called “Cosmopolitan Canopies”. According to Anderson, cosmopolitan canopies are places where everyone is peaceful and civil towards one another. People of all races get along in these places and no one outwardly judges each other in a harsh manner. Judging is either abolished or people keep it quietly to themselves and Anderson refers to judging as “people watching”. He believes certain requirements need to be met to be formed, and I observed a place that could be a perfect canopy, according to Anderson’s requirements. In Anderson’s The Cosmopolitan Canopy; Race and Civility in Everyday Life, the narrator’s belief in a peaceful common ground causes a certain interest in seeing if the cosmopolitan canopies always form on their own or if they can be created.

Nicole Calle   October 29, 2015   George Miller   Journalism and Society      Media Comparison   Glamour and Cosmopolitan      Glamour and Cosmopolitan magazine are both concentrated on lifestyle and beauty concepts for women. However, each of them display similar but different content in their articles and attract a very different type of reader. Their difference is also marked in the way their content is visually displayed and in the overall style of each magazine. Advertisement also plays a contrasting role between Glamour and Cosmo. Upon first glance, the visual of these two magazines is the first differentiating factor between them.

Cosmopolitan is the queen of women’s magazines. Her royal court also consists of Glamour, Red Book, Vogue, and other smaller magazines. These magazines demonstrate these beauty standards. Naomi Wolf researched on body image and found a

Another example of the unattainable body portrayed to young women is magazine covers with airbrushed women. Like previously discussed, Kate Winslet was under a critical eye for this issue. Many magazines like Teen Vogue, Seventeen, and Cosmopolitan market to young girls, and portray unattainable beauty. On top of the airbrushing done to make the cover women to appear thinner, actresses and models are constantly pressured to be thinner. Actress Charlize Theron confessed in an interview that she is naturally a size eight and she feels weak when she is not her natural size (Tauber, 2001).

Katrina, I believe your passage about Middle English was plagiarized. You paraphrase each sentence in A Handbook to Literature. Try to avoid paraphrasing and either directly write the quote and cite it or write out the information in your own words. When you take uncommon facts from websites, literature, magazines, etc. you must cite them. I’m aware of your argument about this information being common knowledge. However, MIT states, “Broadly speaking, common knowledge refers to information that the average, educated reader would accept as reliable without having to look it up.” An example of common knowledge would be that you eat soup with a spoon. Stating that a lion's roar can be heard from five miles away would be considered uncommon knowledge

When researchers asked one hundred eighteen female, college-aged students to look at twenty pictures in ads from women's magazines, they felt a sudden change in mood after the pictures were observed. There was notable depression in the women, a depression that has seemed to hit many women after leafing through women's magazines (Key and Lindgren 11). This depression is due to the fact there are so many negative messages being conveyed in advertisements that are published in women's magazines. But who can blame the women for their depression anyway? When the majority of the ads in women's magazines show super-skinny models advertising nice clothes, makeup, jewelry, etc., one might find themselves to be a little down. Skinny models portray their figures to be the cultural norm in Western society today. How often does one find a model in a woman's magazine that is over a size six that is not shown advertising plus size merchandise? The answer is not very often, or sometimes never at all. If women do not see their body type being depicted in

General knowledge or some points related to common sense of a person do not require any credits to be given as these are factual. Some examples of general knowledge include birth dates , political or other historical events. This information can be considered as public domain. Field Specific common knowledge is also common within a particular field. To be more precise whenever there is a inclusion of facts theories or methods that are not known to the people of a particular discipline, citation can be avoided or any credit to the source can be avoided.

In every professional field, experts consider some ideas “common knowledge,” but remember that you’re not a professional (yet). In fact, you’re just learning about those
