Dr Rey Character Analysis

There isn’t one single reality television show or reality t.v. show star in particular that is stereotyped to a typical standard, though as reality television stars gain more popularity and try to build their brands, to have the perfect body is often the stereotype that all genders go through. Transsexual and transgendered celebrities have also spoke about the necessity to display the perfect body because they were born men, and have to exceed women, when speaking about beauty, just to fit in. Everyone loves to use the Kardashians as an example so why not. Kim Kardashian from Keeping Up With The Kardashians is known for her “perfect hour glass figure” with large breasts, a tiny waist, and bigger-than-average booty (and yes I said booty!). She is regarded as many for having the perfect body, and other women have felt the pressure to emulate her body in order to achieve the same vanity appeal.

Love, hate, life, death, and medicine; the five crucial parts of ABC’s hit TV show, Grey’s Anatomy. Grey’s Anatomy is a show that first premiered on March 27, 2005. The script was written, produced, and even created by Shonda Rhimes. Some people consider Shonda to be evil based on the plot of the show, and I do too. On the other hand, she did create a show that many people enjoy to watch including me. I am still an active watcher even after 14 seasons of this show. Even though I like the show so much, I found areas in the show to critique that include the plot and the actors.

In “The Pitfalls of Plastic Surgery,” by Camille Paglia, she argues that American surgeons are being too narrow minded with their work because they use the same models as a representation of what their clients can look like. She suggests that getting plastic surgery has become such a normal thing in America and that society pushes women to get work done in order to get that “perfect” look. Paglia also points out that plastic surgery has “leveled the playing field” with wives and their husbands mistresses (694). Also, she believes that plastic surgery is not only critical in keeping a job, but also in keeping a relationship. Although I agree with some of Paglia’s arguments, I view some of the issues differently such as, needing plastic surgery to keep a marriage, that plastic surgery is for non intellectuals, that Hollywood’s environment encourages women to change their looks, and that nothing good can come out of plastic surgery.

Fear can motivate you to do something or stop you. One way is when doing something you know someone will do it. Why do people treat people different based off your tragedy Based off the movie Cool Hand Luke’s mom died, his partners gave him respect by leaving the room and the one of boss workers locked Luke in the box to grieve. People just don’t know how to react But we shouldn’t let fear stop us. Like going back to Antigone when Ismene burried her family relative she really didnt know what to do and she just did what was suppose to be done, what her mind told her to.

Cunningham and Elavias articles have similar perspectives when it comes to an unfavorable view in the public eye. Also “In London a British parliment member had two billboards removed, she took them down because she said they provided such a false, and unrealistic expectations of what women should and could look like, that it was damaging” (Cunningham 216). Media is holding this new generation to an “unrealistic standard” that is leading to emotional, mental and physical issues. Elavia on the other hand gives us her interpretation these reality stars face. Elavia writes, “Networks have no boundaries, they only care about their ratings regardless if it creates a bad image of reality stars” (222). Viewers go on to say “Producers manipulate the show in order to get high ratings”(Elavia

Reality television is a huge part of our television viewing culture and the line between right and wrong is not always clear to many of the viewers. The fact is, the extreme behaviors displayed are not "real" or normal in the world that exists outside of reality TV. Many reality shows depict women idealizing beauty and thinness, giving the impression that a woman 's value is based

Little girls who are entered into beauty pageants should not have to wear flipper teeth or false eye lashes at that age, they grow up thinking that is the picture perfect image when it is not. When they are older they become nostalgia, reminiscing on what they were because it all comes back to them when they watch the media. Women see themselves as objects because 90% of the films out there portray women as sex objects, and that is how they feel they need to be.

The Girl Scouts Institute did a study in 2011 entitled “Real to Me: Girls and Reality TV” in which they gave many statistics to support the way in which reality TV affects young women. In this study, they collected data from over 1,100 girls around the country and what they found was astonishing. Many of the girls, 50 percent of them to be exact, believed that real-life reality shows are “mainly real and unscripted” (Girl Scouts Institute 1). Their study showed that girls who consumed reality TV are more likely to be focused on their physical appearance. Seventy-two percent say they spend a lot of time on their appearance versus 42 percent of non-viewers. Thirty-eight percent of

Ordinary World- Most hero quest start off in the main characters ordinary world. The main character usually is an outcast or possess an ability that makes them feel left out. In Star Wars: The New Hope this would be when Luke is in Tatooine.

Graydon explains that magazines are not the only source criticizing women’s bodies. She says that publications are helping as well. Graydon states that there are now more ways for women to “fix” their bodies. These techniques include, but are not limited to: liposuction, stomach stapling, anti-cellulite creams, breast, butt, cheek and chin implants, Botox and collagen injections, chemical peels, as well as many more techniques. Graydon calls these techniques heart-stopping because in the last couple of years, three famous women, Olivia Goldsmith, Micheline Charest, and Donda West, have lost their lives due to complications from plastic surgery. She later states that there have been more women who have lost their lives from the same complications, but their deaths are not publicized because they do not have celebrity connections. Graydon states body parts on display are becoming less and less realistic. Models are also becoming smaller and smaller, while regular, everyday women are becoming

In the book Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli Stargirl, the main character is a quirky teenage girl. In the middle of the book, Stargirl started to change into a more popular girl. Stargirl stated to wear regular jeans, sandals, and t-shirts when she only used to wear dresses. Three reasons why Stargirl should not have changed are you should not let anyone peer pressure you to be something new, also, you should not let other people speak for you. Lastly, you do not need other people's approval of yourself. The reason why Stargirl did change was that she was being made fun of by other people in her school and Leo her boyfriend wanted her to change.

No regular woman looks like that and not all women can afford to look like that but women are still attempting to live up to this standard by going to plastic surgeons. In fact, Plastic surgery has increased tremendously due to reality shows, such as the Kardashians, depicting that the persons perfectly shaped and sculpted body is 100% real. Viewers are taking this and running with it. They are going to get all types of work to mock the look of these people who truly mocked the beautifully sculpted bodies of people of different cultures. Overall, what women need to realize is that if we continue to glorify this, famous for being famous, family then we are going to pass these insecurities on to the next generation. The Kardashians insecurities are reflected through their theme of continuously altering their looks. Subsequently, they are creating false expectations that viewers cannot achieve but continuously attempt to reach. But one must notice that they aren’t attempting to mock any regular standard

107) Second, magazines geared toward women often run stories focusing on the ordinary woman’s experiences with surgery of the benefits of surgically improving one’s appearance. Also, advertisements typically promote the benefits of cosmetic surgery using gendered stereotypes, with men represented as concerned with virility and professional competitiveness whereas women are investing in aesthetic improvements. Therefore, the idea of personal transformations and self-improvement is not particularly novel but standard approach that has become entrenched in mass media representations of cosmetic surgery (Adams, 2009, p. 108). However, the potential health risks are downplayed and negative outcomes are attributed to the unpredictability of the aesthetic results or poor surgeon selection. More importantly, these frames tend to diverge from the actual surgical experience, which rather being neat and instantaneous, is often complex and painful. Nevertheless, it is the media-mediated frame that dominates the broader social discussion of cosmetic surgery and often reduces it to a consumable lifestyle option as opposed to a complicated medical procedure fraught with potential risks and uncertainties.

While flipping through the channels, it is rare that the average person would not come across one of reality television’s new fads: plastic surgery reality shows. Most of these shows have average women competing for plastic surgery to make them look extraordinary. This gives a message to young girls that everyone is getting plastic surgery and they are not attractive if they do not.
