Subject: Proposal for a report on the effects of Barbie doll toys on young girls and their self-image.
PURPOSE:
For my research paper I propose to research and write a report on the negative effects that Barbie dolls have on the young girls’ self-image.
Young girls are overwhelmed by toys that affect their self-image; for example, Barbie dolls. The idea of being unrealistically thin can be detrimental to the self- image of young girls. This can lead to disordered eating and weight cycling.
PROBLEMS TO BE INVESTIGATED
The issues and questions that I feel need to be answered in the report are as follows: 1: What is the age group of young girls being affected with eating disorder? 2: …show more content…
Has anyone tried to get the company to change the image?
METHODS OF RESEARCH
The Internet and scholarly articles will be the main sources of research for this report, which will fulfill the requirements. I am looking at the following resources to be my main resources for my research.
