The Vulgar Photo Shoot Of Miley Cyrus For Trans People

From wearing cupcake bra outfits to performing in a lavish swimsuit, Katy Perry has demonstrated how women in the music industry use sex appeal to captivate their audience. In today’s society, it isn’t uncommon to see female artists in revealing, flashy outfits surrounded by flashing lights and steam. Artists such as Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj have certainly made news headlines for their audacious performances. In many cases, artists are presenting false images to their fans as an investment for future sales. Female artists continue to be sexually objectified by their audience, which increase their viewership, which leads to record labels pressuring artists to keep a sexy image.

`Nevertheless Stephanie’s whole article gets masked by expert claims which consist of topics that are not connected to the main idea of the article at hand. Stephanie leans on controversial claims from experts who have PhD’s to make up her whole entire paper. Through her use of various references she tries to support her argument mainly through text. The article leads into sections such as “SOCCER HEADING MAKES A BAD HAIR DAY” (Hanes484) and “SEXY’S NOT ABOUT SEX, ITS ABOUT SHOPPING’’ (Hanes487). She uses those sections to create different aspects of sexualization and cause the reader to reflect on the given information. With that being said these sections do state things about how the media plays on hyper sexualized images and girls becoming women too fast. However the main purpose of the article gets lost upon topic such as pornography, sexy clothing and sexting. If the organizational use of research and personal experiences had tied into Stephanie’s original claim against the Disney Princesses Empire her article would have been more put together.

The narrative in the world and America especially, is constantly changing and the line between appropriate and inappropriate seems to be constantly shifting. The cover image of Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the Rolling Stone magazine is a prime example, of how the use of nudity in the cover reveals the twisted narrative in American society and entertainment.To have a comprehensive understanding of the cover and what it signifies, background knowledge on the publishers and the person on the cover is neccesaryJulia Louis-Dreyfus is an American actress, comedian, and producer. She is known for her work in television comedy, including Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Veep. The Rolling Stone

When analyzing the social make up and the issues associated with celebrities having the power to influences the public, sociological concepts can be applied. Sociology has taught us to be curious and ask the question why. It also takes a scientific approach when answering the types of questions

Kristen Stewart or mostly known as “Bella” from the movie series Twilight is a movie actress who has had many controversy on the way she portrays herself throughout media and the eye of the public. In the September cover of Nylon, Stewart stated that she feels no need of identifying or labeling her sexuality. She has chosen, “to remain vague about her sexual orientation because she doesn’t feel she has the “perspective” to do otherwise.” Her appearance as the “awkward” vampire girl, which many of the times media labeled her as, did a drastic change with the way she dressed an appeared.

In “Little Girls or Little Women? The Disney Princess Effect,” Stephanie Hanes argues that the portrayal of women in media has proliferated the premature sexualization of young women. The author analyzes the effect of media’s portrayal of women on young girls to raise awareness about over-sexualization and to hopefully convince parents of young women to pay attention to not only the media that their daughters consume but the media they consume as well. Hanes uses various rhetorical strategies to legitimize her argument and address the corruption of girlhood caused by the relentless coverage of sexuality in media.

Looking towards the media with regards to the spectacle and particularly the spectacle in relation to celebrities, I find that when the spectacle focuses around celebrities, they usuaually focus on their rise and falls of being a star. Celebrities are everywhere, and the public strive on them, whether they are a good influence or bad influence. The public is attracted to anything celebrity related, they want to be consumed by the gossip. Therefore, I choose to do my media review on Amanda Bynes on the Showbiz Tonight show clip.

The myth I will be exploring in this paper, is if the sexualizing of men and women in the media is equal amongst both genders. This topic of media and the sexualizing of men and women is a relevant topic today because the media plays such a large role in almost

The role of women in today’s society has dramatically evolved from the views that society shared in previous decades. No longer is a woman valued for her etiquette, grace and virtues, instead we are constantly in competition with one another over being more provocative and sexually charged. A perfect example of this ironically acceptable behaviour is portrayed through the women we view on a daily basis in music videos. It is evident that the concept ‘sex sells’ is now being used in almost every advertisement and video that we watch on daily television and the indoctrination of this concept has spread wide and far throughout the entertainment

It is obvious that celebrity news is an outlet that sells, as seen by the numerous tabloids and entertainment shows. The public has an interest in what is going on in the lives of these rich and glamorous people. This brings on a form of mediated voyeurism, which can be defined as, “the consumption of revealing images and information about others’ real and unguarded lives, not always for the purpose of entertainment but frequently at the expense of privacy and discourse, through the means of the mass media” (Calvert, 2000). Basically saying that the public has a need to see these famous people and learn about their lives, even at the risk of invading their privacy. The tabloids simply exploit the public’s desire to learn these things, regardless of the ethical issues of invading a human being’s privacy. They know people will buy it and that they will make money.

Sex has always been used to sell products, from fruit to IT services, and music is no exception to this method. Although women, in all forms, are frequently sexualized and labeled throughout the media, there appears to be a form of “hyper-sexualization” that occurs in the music industry. Female music artists are regularly urged to wear more revealing clothing and are often held to higher beauty standards. As written by Jennifer Stevens Aubrey and Cynthia M. Frisby in their article, “Sexual Objectification in Music Videos: A Content Analysis Comparing Gender and Genre,” “compared to male artists, female artists were more sexually objectified, held to stricter appearance standards, and more likely to demonstrate sexually alluring behavior” (Aubrey and Frisby). It is well known that the way women are represented among the media is not the way women are like in real life, which are causing detrimental effects to young women growing up in this day and age. Some of these negative effects include issues in self-esteem, unobtainable beauty standards, and the promotion of premature

According to the American Psychology Association sexualization occurs when “individuals are regarded as sex objects and evaluated in terms of their physical characteristics and sexiness.” When reading this statement I strongly believe our society is overly sexualized. With the rise of social media, the popularity of reality TV and new means of advertising, the sexualization of our society has increased. With this growing idea of sexualization comes many problems such as, mental illness, eating disorders and a culture based mainly on appearance and willingness to reveal your body. The role of feminism that gained popularity in the past few years has turned into a ‘brand’ for pop stars and their self-sexualization.

Intersectional feminists have continuously focused on the disregard of rape culture institutionalized by a misogynistic society on a global platform to almost no avail. Upon the release of Robin Thicke’s 2013 chart-topping hit “Blurred Lines”, coupled with its less than savory music video, a collective outcry was made by victims of sexual assault and their supporters. Taking a step in the right direction, some regions of the world employed a policy of mass-censorship, as opposed to areas such as the United States, where it broke records for having the largest radio audience in history. The presence of harmful ideals displayed in Thicke’s song institutionalized by mass media is detrimental to the world’s population in its entirety by creating schisms within groups of activists, and downplaying the seriousness of topics such as sexual abuse and assault.

The harmful nature of different media types has been analyzed within the course. In specific, this course has discussed the objectification/sexualization of women throughout media sources. It seems most relevant to draw a correlation between the music industry and the perception of women that continues to be exploited through this media outlet as well.

Frequently, countless discussions on the topic of representation in the media have surged on the internet. Representation stands for a portrayal of countless groups of individuals on the screen. This paper will analyze the effects of the media about representing LGBT characters. Especially, since portrayals of LGBT characters influence society perceptions for the best or worst.
