Media’s Sexualization of Children :: Argumentative Persuasive Topics

One very disturbing trend in fashion, advertising, and particularly late in the music industry is the innerization of children, especially girls. They are constantly envisi geniusd as sexual caricatures of adults. In some cases, young children are portrayed scanty-clad. In yet others, they are wearing such outfits and mimicking sexual poses. In other cases, a teenager or young adult is polished in a way to make her appear younger. She may be wearing a cheerleader uniform, a shoal-girl uniform, she may be posing clutching a stuffed animal, or with dolls, etc. and she is often posed in a sexual fashion. Britney Spears is the most notable example of this. The then seventeen-year-old donned a little school girl uniform complete with pigtails for her Baby One More condemnation video. However, that uniform blouse was tied up to reveal her mid-drift and her skirt was cut short. in that respect are a wide variety of pictures of Britney Spears available, particularly on the web. Its sort of disturbing to flip through these pictures and see one of Miss Spears rest next to a school bus blissful sweetly, then one of her in a tiny cheerleader outfit lying provocatively in the bed of a truck, and then one of her tearing her clothes off. Her earlyish photographs painted her as the girl next door type. Even the manage to her first album was a picture of her completely clothed and smiling sweetly. Her photographs and videos then captured her as a school girl sex puss, making her appear younger, yet sexualizing her image with tiny tops and skirts. Our familiar culture and our modern society seem to be speeding up the sexualization of young girls. We have a problem in our culture and her attend is Britney Spears. When I say Britney Spears I mean, of course, all her clones as well, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, etc. on the whole of these girls are either under or hover very come together to the age of consent... These girls are marketed spe cifically to preteen girls and they are not sing about sugar and spice they are singing about sex. hit it to me / Im so addicted to the loving that youre feeding me / Ohhh / Cant do without it, this feelings got me weak in the knees/ Oh, baby / Bodys in withdrawal every time you take it off/ Ohhh/.
