We live in an ageist society, which favours youth. Because of this, celebrities’ “age is inherent in the discourses” (Van den Bulck, 2014, p. 63) about their persona and appearance. This is especially true of female celebrities who come under constant scrutiny because our patriarchal society means that “there are different standards for men’s and women’s aging” (Oberg, 2003, p. 126). MailOnline provides perfect examples of older women’s representations in the media demonstrating the public obsession

How to train your dragon is not a traditional children’s movie. Hiccup may be the hero of the story, but he is the very anthesis of a Viking; a bright but twiggy boy in a village plagued by dragons and populated by muscle-bound barbarians who value brute strength and battle-prowess above all else. In addition to being scrawny, Hiccup is very intelligent which has left him alienated from the community, even by his father Stoic; chief of Berk. Hiccup may see himself as worthless, but he is not by any

In today’s world, the large problem with the way the media advertises the human body is growing every day. From digitally editing magazine ads, to starved models, to plastic people, advertising paints an unrealistic and unhealthy body image to the public. Advertisements that display these plastic people as the epitome of beauty, cause otherwise normal, healthy people to invest in unhealthy diet plans which can lead to eating disorders, and even premature death. Women desperately trying to compete
