Class Prophecy of Batch 2010 in Morms.Doc
As the sunbeam gradually departs, the moon and the stars embark its brilliance on Earth, and after the exhausting days of working fervently overtime as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the Commission on Audit (COA), at last, the end of my hectic schedule for this year came. I made up my mind of having a fulfilling break from my strenuous work. I wanted to have a soothing time for myself after chasing the deadline for the submission of the annual report.
For the past few years, I have always wanted to know the whereabouts of MORMS Class 2010. Then, I finally found the right time.
I decided to go to Palawan to have a refreshing time in a resort, then, I will go back to Bicol to visit the school where I graduated 13 years ago for our Class reunion … I took a plane and began my journey. Before boarding the plane to Palawan, I noticed familiar faces of a guy and a lady approached me. I couldn’t believe that they were FRANCIS GERARD TOSCANO and LIEZEL GNILO. Francis told me that he is now a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and is now the chief accountant of the Department of Tourism Central Office. On the other hand, Liezel told me that she is now the manager of the Philippine National Bank in Manila. They also updated me about KRIZIA NAPAY, manager of PUREFOODS Incorporation; LEIZEL RECATO, the internal auditor of the National Bookshop; and MARIJHUN ORTEGA, an auditor of Sunshine Group of Companies together with CHERRY LYN ODSINADA.
My scheduled flight was twenty-five minutes behind the schedule, so I bought the latest issue of the Life Line Magazine, wanting to read the articles of the famous journalists, NOREEN MARQUEZ and DIZA RAQUION. I scanned the pages of the magazine and was surprised to see the picture with a caption: JOYCE NAAG; Top Model of the Year. There were still other photos featuring KRISTINE ELAINE LAGARDE, and JUDITH ODIÑA, the career women of the year. Their faces didn’t change at all. They looked as beautiful as they were 13 years ago.

    The first thing Jill says in this article is attacking the media for what they are doing. She is fed up with emaciated models pushing the readers to be thin, sexy and silent; However now the girls a fighting back. With the use of the visual of the founder of the new trend and there cover girl it shows that you don’t need the perfect thin body and hot clothes to make you beautiful. This shows that these magazines are ‘glossy’ with only information about how to get ‘thin and sexy’. But with Jill praising the new publication trend which shows realistic images of young women is targeting women to think that they don’t need to only look at super models in the media, but of people who they can relate to. This persuades the reader that media now is only thinking of super models is how they will sell it, but another ‘real’ women magazine is going fine. Also you don’t need to think you need to be thin to be beautiful, all you need to be is a real girl.…

    In a positive view of social media, I plan to analyze the make up company Covergirl’s newest model who is making headlines for being the first Covergirl model to be a boy. The selection of the model, James Charles, as the newest model for the company brings up the question of traditional gender boundaries in fashion and beauty. In addition, it provides a role model for men who prefer to explore outside of these gender boundaries, and in so promoting their own self-image and acceptance. Furthermore supporting the facts that while there are some negative effects of social media, it can be used as a tool to help us grow as a society.…

    In Dove’s “Real Beauty” Backlash, Pozner believes we should feel inspired by these happy healthy women. However, I have focused on Pozner’s frustration with the men in the media industry. Pozner’s optimistic attitude for Dove’s campaign and support for “real women” quickly changes while analyzing these men’s superficial demands. She says “It is unsettling for men with power positions in the media industry to still think it is acceptable to demand that women be displayed only in the hyper-objectifying images they feel is somehow their due”. (Pozner, 216).…

    Media has a tremendous impact on the way society thinks today. Sources of media such as social media, magazines, advertisements, and television help to guide people’s perspectives. And one of the topics that it influences in society includes the way that society views female beauty. Many people feel that the media affects our notions of female beauty while many others argue against that. Valdes-Rodriguez in “My Hips, My Cadera, talks about the way her body is viewed in different cultures. And supports the fact that the environment you grow up in influences your perspective of beauty. However, while many agree that media does have an influence on our notion of female beauty, this notion can be attributed to different things, such as your culture…

    From the dieting tricks that promise to shave off weight within weeks, to the constant gossiping of the fashion trends of a femme fatale, the message is clear: the appearances of women matter. Especially prevalent for the past few decades, the pressure for young women to meet a certain physical standard has been growing ever since. Through the influence of the media and the scrutiny of others, women face the stress of carefully choosing each change they add to their appearance, going so far as to permanently change their genetic features in order to conform to what society has defined as beautiful, and such an issue calls for change.…

    This is an article from “The Daily Beast”, an American news reporting and opinion website. The readers are most likely teenagers or young ladies whom care about their looks think that beauty is the only way to be success. In here, we can easily see that Kelley was trying to talk to this group of people, “We can spend our days competing with fashion models and movie stars. In other words, you can be Hillart Clinton or Heidi Montag. It’s your choice.” Kelley used the examples to make the audience feel more familiar and relate to today’s society. Kelley chose this group of audience because they experience the “beauty” influence in our culture. “Yes, people can be vicious in their categorization of women’s looks. Insult them back or ignore them.” Also, Kelley did not write this article by used formal language. Other readers might include people who are following this society would probably be less likely to agree with Kelley.…

    Rodriguez was a victim of this definition of beauty and went through extreme measures to be like women on television. In her short story “Breaking the Model” she explains the influences that led a young Hispanic girl to become anorexic and bulimic trying to be something that she was not. “As a young teen, I shared the dream of many girls: I wanted to be a model and an actress” (189). These dreams did not conjure up in a girl’s head; they came from the images girls are constantly exposed to. Rodriguez continues, “I felt the media’s and society’s images of women were more responsible” (191). Her modeling agency even suggested that she “study the models in Teen and Seventeen and watch Beverly Hills 90210 to ‘get an idea of what real models look like’” (190). Since cultural ideas and norms are directly reflected in portrayals of women in the media, the Western culture has a deep influence on young girls trying to find their own…

    Women these days are constantly being reminded of who is beautiful and what defines beauty. The media and beauty industries have an imperative role in their advertising to promote impossible standards of beauty in society. Many studies have been done to show the effects of the media on beauty image for women. These studies show the effect of media on women today by noting the increasing rate of plastic surgery and how the media negatively affect the woman’s self-image. In 2008 a report that was prepared by the Young Woman’s Christian Association (YWCA) titled “Beauty at Any Cost,” the report stated that the beauty industry is a 7 billion dollar business, that there are 11.7 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures combined.…

    These models and actresses being thin which creates a “…norm for body image in present-day culture, and it’s characterized by bodies that are extremely thin”(42). And women look to these models as the epitome of beauty. “Consequently, women who are heavy viewers of thin-ideal media may develop the attitude that thinness is socially desirable”(42). Even though people may not notice, but over time things seen in media get compared to the real world. As one of the main media’s standards of beauty being “thinness often has a positive connotation, one that denotes success and social…

    Winnie Harlow is not pretty enough to be the face of brands because her black and white skin, Serena Williams is an awarded athlete but she is too manly. A woman’s worth always comes back to what she looks like. As most of us probably think, this should definitely not be the case. A woman can be beautiful, but that does not define her. Not to be too pessimistic, we are moving forward as a society. Many people defended Serena Williams, like JK Rowling and others. Girls look up to Winnie, and they learn about how to accept themselves however they look. Her fans even do makeup tutorials tribute to her. As said, the media is also putting out more diverse images of beauty, like the Lane Bryant “I am no angel” campaign. This campaign paints curvy women as just as valuable as beautiful as skinny women. It is important to see both the progress and set backs we have had as a society concerning the standards of beauty. We are growing and learning to accept the diverse beauty present in the world, but in some sense, are still too focused on a woman’s beauty. In the end, we are all beautiful – in different ways, in similar ways – but our beauty does not define us, and we should not let…
