Being one of the top branded women’s magazines gives them an opening to larger audiences. The fact they are easily able to pull in celebrities makes can broaden its audience even further. Even if a woman hasn’t even heard of Cosmo on its own personally, if they hear a celebrity they adore is a part of it they are more likely to read it. By reading the magazine the female becomes more influenced by it. Younger women and teenagers have a possibility of being pulled in due to wanting to be like the people they idolize. We such a big following on its own though, this magazine has been shaping the way generations of women think and act. Some of this which is not all good. Cosmo puts high emphasis on appearance and pleasing men. This magazine convinces women that’s how it is. It would make it hard for these women to act more natural and not feel like they have to constantly be on alert. It gives an image to women in our society you have to be physically perfect to get and keep a man. That statement in itself just isn’t true. This message can take a toll and make young and older women think they are not good enough. On top of the fact that some of the advice given is just ridicoulous. I read through some articles and laughed a little. Some of the so called “tips” are just so unrealistic. It partially made me uncomfortable to read them. The “positions” certainly didn’t sound sexy

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of media, mainly fashion magazines, on how women perceived the idealized body weight and shape as well as the impact of media on the decision to diet or initiate an exercise program.

There are various stages of labor. According to Chuma, Kihunrwa, Matovelo, and Mahendeka (2014) the initial stage of labor occurs at the onset of cervical change to complete cervical dilatation, and is further divided into latent and active phases (Chuma, Kihunrwa, Matovelo, & Mahendeka, 2014). When the cervix starts to efface and dilate up to 3cm, this is considered to be the latent phase. The active phase is declared when cervical dilatation increases, and occurs from 4 cm to 10 cm (Chuma, Kihunrwa, Matovelo, & Mahendeka, 2014).

In the women's health magazine cover it has the actress Lea Michele under the title “Your Fast Track to a Flat Belly.” Lea Michele is shown in very tight fitting clothing highlighting her assets and nice formed body.She is wearing a bright pink tanktop and a tight short skirt with different bright colors. Her pose is more of a happy, laid back and with her hair being blown by the wind. The way she is being represented is in a socially acceptable way of a woman being happy and jolly and fit. Just by looking at the cover of the magazine it excludes unfit people and unfit ideals.

The Vogue Magazine cover features Lea Michele wearing a pink tank top with a white miniskirt embroidered in colorful patterns. A celebrity is used to intrigue women into reading the magazine by surrounding Lea Michele in bold text that suggests tips on looking younger and healthy. Behind her is the text “Women’s Health” in bold, pink elegant letters. She is wearing a gold bracelet, a necklace, and a gold ring on her fourth finger of her left hand. Her face appears to be glowing as she grins towards the camera with her wavy hair flowing around her. The text surrounding her are in pink and black text in contrast to the white background. Above the magazine cover reads “Your Fast Track To A Flat Belly”.To the non-critical eye, it could be an informative magazine that gives woman an insight on taking care of their body and giving exercising tips.However, it could be implying that women should only look a certain way and should look more youthful to become more desirable.

The target audience for “Men’s Health” magazine has always been perceived as the stereotypical man’s man. The weight lifter, the health nut, or perhaps just the thirty to forty-five-year-old father of two attempting to fight back the hands of time and look younger just a little bit longer. This is no longer the case as the social climate has begun to change over the last few years however, the magazine is beginning to recognize that it’s readership is made up of a much more diverse and not so cookie cutter audience. A very specific example of that can be found inside the June, 2017 issue of “Men’s Health” magazine displayed in a two-full page advertisement for a website geared towards the sexual health of gay men. Specifically, the

Images of female bodies are everywhere. Women, and their bodies, sell everything from food to cars. Women's magazines are full of articles urging women to fit a certain mold. While standing in a grocery store line you can see all different magazines promoting fashion, weight loss, and the latest diet. Although the magazines differ, they all seemingly convey the same idea: if you have the perfect body image you can have it all…the perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career. The media, whether TV, print, or Internet advertising, seems to play a huge role in influencing women of all ages; from adolescence and teens, to women in their twenties and thirties, as well as

Every month, Women's Frontline Magazine is honoured to present profiles of women who are working on the frontlines to impact their world with the wonderful gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Women’s Body Image (www.wellesley.edu/Health/BodyImage) helped demonstrates the young influence of magazines. Those days when girls strive to be something they weren’t, were probably the most crucial days in body imaging. They succumbed into the pressure of looking how everyone else wants them to look. Such teeny bopper magazines sell to many young girls the idea of beauty. Teen Magazine is the princess of that royal court. In every young woman, or man’s mind, there is this longing to be desired. To be desired, you must be attractive. To be attractive, you have to look like that girl on page seventy-one in the latest Teen Magazine (Women’s Body Image).

Women have let the idea of looking beautiful take over their self-confidence and life. Healthy Place, an online magazine teaching women about living a healthy life, says that, “today's fashion models weigh twenty-three percent less than the average female, and a young woman between the ages of 18-34 has a seven percent chance of being as slim as a catwalk model and a one percent chance of being as thin as a supermodel.” So why do women push themselves to be excessively thin when these models are anomalies? They do it because the media tells them that this look is the only look that can attract men. Even if a woman is “beautiful” according to the media’s standards, she will always find something about her body that she hates, whether it is her hair or her belly button, no women is completely satisfied. Our society is very accepting of different religions and lifestyles, so why can we not accept different types of beauty as well?

When Victoria’s Secret is allowed to have models prance around on screen but Lane Bryant Ads (lingerie for plus size women) is banned then there’s a problem. The media is portraying these models who are thin to the point where it is unhealthy. And the media is feeding society lies. A perfect example is of Gerran Tyler. Tyler was a 12 year old supermodel. She walks the run way for clients like Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, and Betsey Johnson. She’s tall, thin, the perfect model because she hasn’t hit puberty yet. She walked during New York Fashion Week and posed for these designer brands advertisements. This body type is unachievable for almost all adult women (Roberts). Somebody in their twenties or thirties doesn’t have the ability to look like a twelve year old girl, but this is how these designers are telling us to look. Tyler had an amazing career and high expectations but the fame didn’t last long. As she got older and hit puberty she began to develop boobs, hips, and curves. She began getting less and less bookings. Her supermodel career was virtually over. “Eighty percent of 10-year-old American girls say they have been on a diet” and the, “Number one magic wish for young girls 11-17 is to be thinner” (Missrepresentation). This self-esteem problem with young girls is a result of these unobtainable ideas of beauty. Jennifer Siebel, creator of the documentary Missrepresentation, says

Basically, the media is doing nothing but using subliminal messages. The way they portray the models in magazines, it only confuses a human’s mind. This makes them believe that they must look like them to be considered beautiful. Often in magazines, when positive values, success, love, and happiness, a thin person is shown. This not only completely lowers a “healthy”, or a plus sized person’s self-esteem, but the media also tries to make it seem as if in order to be happy and successful, a person must be skinny (Piazza). Every day, companies come up with a new beauty product, or a new diet product to leer someone into buying it to make themselves beautiful. New products every day completely sets aside the idea that natural beauty is already beautiful enough. According to the media, though, people need these products to look more humane, or look younger and thinner. The media also using editing and

Accompanying unrealistic images of women, the media spends billions of dollars yearly to advertise the various techniques that eliminate body discontents such as dieting pills and exercising machines, and exploits female magazine reader’s insecurities. Whether magazine advertisements aid in the gradual depletion of body image or fail to impact it at all will be the purpose of this investigation, supplemented by a literature review and organized by a theoretical framework, to support a firm analysis.
