America’s Next Top Model
Beauty, glamour, girlie stuff is what most of the girls love! America’s Next Top Model is one of the reality shows that is shown every Wednesday at 8:00 pm PST. It seeks to find the next golden girl of the modeling industry. Contestants from different states go for auditions, and the judges pick 13 finalists who fit with the requirements which include an age that is between 18 to 27 years, height of at least 5 feet and 7 inches, a US citizen, and must not have previous experience as a model in a national campaign within the last five (5) years, including, but not limited to, appearances on television and print advertisements (Eligibility). The 13 finalists will live in one house that has cameras running 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. These cameras will capture exciting events that happen inside the house where the contestants fight or catfight, argue, pick on each other, give support to each one and so on. Each week, the girls have to learn to walk down the catwalk, pose and act for fashion photo shoots, and learn perfect publicity skills in order to sharpen their modeling skills (ANTM). The contestants who show least amount of improvement are eliminated and those who excel move on to the finals. The members of the board of judges are Twiggy, a fashion icon; Nigel Barker, the fashion photographer; J. Alexander, the runway trainer; Jay Manuel, the make-up artist and the photo director; Tyra, a supermodel, host, creator and executive producer of America’s Next Top Model show, and a mentor/friend to the finalists. There are also special guest judges who will appear to evaluate within their area of expertise. The girl who will win the contest is going to have a contract with Elite Model Management, a $100,000.00 contract with cosmetics’ giant Cover girl and will appear on the cover and six pages fashion spread in Seventeen magazine (Grand Prize). Watching “America’s Next Top Model” show leads a viewer to an immediate addiction. The show gives

    Project Brainwash Why Reality Tv Is Bad For Women Summary

    Tyra Banks, a former supermodel and current talk show host created this show to find the most beautiful women and turn them in to fabulous super models. America’s next top model recruits girls who are tall, skinny with long legs. Most of these girls are around six feet tall and one hundred pounds. Most of the girls who are in the range of one hundred and fifteen or more are considered to be “plus sized” models. This show picks out girls flaws and tries to make them conform to society’s belief of what a beautiful woman is considered to be. This is concerning to me because as young girls are growing up to become teens and young adults these types of shows are putting the idea in there head that they too should be, skinny, blonde, tall and conform to the look that American society has declared acceptable. When young girls become to believe they have to conform to this look that society has placed on them can cause serious effects emotionally and physically. These effects can range from depression, anxiety, bulimia and, anorexia. Sometimes feeling as if you don’t fit into society’s standards can cause severe depression and may lead to…

    Rose Hackman Model Life Analysis

    It’s men who are in control of model’s contracts and bodies, as they continually hold positions of power in the industry. The unequal gender dynamic of the modeling industry not only result in economic control but also sexual harassment. Sexual harassment and assault run rampant in the industry because it is so widely accepted. Sadly, sexual assault is under-reported in the industry for fear of repercussion. Additionally, models are subjected to train to high levels and work for no remuneration. According to Jenny Brown the writer of “Fashion Models Shatter Stereotypes, Demand Labor Rights” says that because a model is an independent contractor to an agency, they are not covered by minimum wage laws. Brown writes that many models are paid in trade, and work for prestige. Many models continue to accept little pay because of the prestige that comes from being a model. The ability to become be “part of the fiction that sells these products” is rewarded in our society. While there is prestige in modeling is evident to everyone, the real struggles and abuses faced by the average model, particularly those who are young or undocumented, is kept under…

    America's Next Top Model Ads Analysis

    Covergirl, Seventeen magazine, Sears,— just to name a few, these are only some brands that have been placed or integrated into the plot of the eighth season of America's Next Top Model. Since technology allows viewers to avoid ads, product placement is the paid product message targeted at influencing movie or TV audiences through the unobtrusive and planned access of a branded product into a movie or TV. (Tiny M. Lowrey, L.J Shrum, John A. McCarty, 2004) Product integration is a similar concept except that the product is used as a part of the program. According to Shrum, it is a technique by "weaving the product into the ‘fabric' of the program". (Tiny M. Lowrey, L.J Shrum, John A. McCarty, 2004) These are the recent channels producers have exploited to vie for consumers' attention today.…

    Dear Americas Next Top Model

    America’s Next Top Model is not only a bad example to women but also a bad example to young girls. Your show makes society believe what you are portraying is what “perfect” is, it affects self-esteem and it humiliates and degrades young women and it is also insulting. Your Television Show is more of a competition to see who is the thinner, more beautiful and “perfect” model instead of looking at personality and determination to make it in the industry. Being any size, any height, any color and any kind of ethnicity is beautiful but your show tells girls like me otherwise. You persuade young girls that being skinny is the best kind of look. By giving women that mindset you are causing them to starve. Models on your show have come out and said they have eating disorders and have done harmful things to themselves and you do nothing to show the effects of that to anyone watching the show. Harming yourself doesn’t solve anything; it…

    Rodriguez Women's Second Job

    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…

    In order to advice Chris and Angela, it is necessary to consider the law relating to misrepresentation. We will analyse the situation to see what laws are applicable and advise Chris and Angela. When Chris and Angela have bought the house, they signed a written contract. In this written contract, the terms have to be contained into. If David’s statements are not in the contract, it is only representations. The statements were not in the written and signed document, so they are not a term. Misrepresentation is a tort, or a civil wrong. It needs not to be intentionally false to create liability.…

    the real housewives of Sparta

    The Ancient Greek era was about the birth of democracy, their magical myths, their many gods and the wonderful people that came with it! Men were always seemed as the dominant gender and how they were the decision makers and thats exactly how Ancient Greece was about except for one particularly city-state Sparta. In Sparta women were not looked as somebody who should stay at home, or not getting an education but the complete opposite. Spartan women were independent- minded they actually had a voice and were allowed to say what they felt like. Physically fitness was tremendously important to Spartans and surprisingly Spartan women, they were given the right to exercise play sports with men and be physically fit. Education and women did not go together at all it just never seem to fit but not in Sparta, women received the same education as the Spartan men and nothing less. Men had always had owned all the land and their wives but in Sparta, women had the right to own property and have something of their own. You would think that Spartan women would still be doing all the housework but you are wrong again they have servants for that. One of the most remembered Spartan women was Queen Gorgo she was the wife of Leonidas I and she ruled Sparta during 6th and 5th centuries BC1. Queen Gorgo is one of the few female historical figures who is known for her political judgment and wisdom(refer to Appendix C). But was she any better than the other Spartan women? Spartan Queen Gorgo was not a unique or exceptional women, but typical of all Spartan women.…

    Toddlers And Tiaras Research Paper

    As a parent it is a job to teach your children to be confident in who they are. With television shows that contradict this message it is tough to be confident in oneself. TLC has found if you put that group on a reality television show you can gain viewers thus make money. The popular show many know is Toddlers and Tiaras. Toddlers and Tiaras is a show about these beauty pageants all throughout the United States, and the show will focus on three participants and the journey to the pageant day then you will see the performances. Where the biggest issue is shown is leading up to the actual pageant. All of the preparation, to make a young girl look “beautiful”, this includes fake hair, teeth, eyelashes, smiles, and even fake attitudes. This does not at all represent self-confidence. If one cannot show themselves naturally in a beauty contest how are they to feel confident about their body and appearance. When a young girl first sees a show like Toddlers and Tiaras it may affect her in one of two ways. One she could think it is amazing and want to try it for herself. Or two she may feel intimidated by these girls who look “perfect”, because at such a young age you cannot always pick out what is fake and what is real. Seeing the girl when she is in stage is…

    Annotated Bibliography

    Beauty pageants made their first appearances in America during the 1920’s, where women flaunted around casinos, determined to win a crown for their physical attractiveness. The owner of the casino where these activities occurred, figured that this would attract more tourists. Throughout the years, more modern pageants were formed, like Ms. USA and Ms. America. Following in the footsteps of its adult form, child beauty pageants merged into the 1960’s. Child beauty pageants usually consist of modeling sportswear, evening wear, and showing off any special talent they may have. Judges critique the girls individually, based on their physical looks, poise, confidence, and perfection. To the judges, this is called “the complete package.” Although the objective of most child pageants is to build confidence and self-worth, beauty pageants can be considered exploitive to minors by causing them to believe in unrealistic ideas about beauty.…

    Castiglione Essay

    For instance, the show America’s Next Top Model showcases contestants that are inspiring models. The cameras follow them around and gain footage of them practicing their angles in the mirror. During the competition the viewers see the behind the scene work that the models endure while preparing for a runway show. There have been many times when the contestants have tripped and fell on the runway. Once the model pose at the end of the runway and walks back they immediately strip down and change into the next outfit as soon as possible. It is essential that once the model is back on the runway that they compose themselves and return back to their nonchalant demeanor. Along with this, the show is also filled with various challenges. These challenges range from insanely difficult photo shoots to going on go-sees. Go-sees are like interviews for models. The designers look at the model’s portfolio as well as their runway walk to determine whether or not they would hire the contestant for a future…

    Child Beauty Pageants

    There is sure to be some pressure to win as I find it unusual for someone to join and not want to win. Thin people tend to look better in skinny clothes than naked, so they would judge how beautiful look with their clothes on which will make them end up even skinnier than if they were looking at themselves without clothes since they are modeling with clothes on. That is it so far for the first notion, the second is why are we sexualizing the young? Looking at images on the search engine Google, I find that children need to be sexualized in order for them to be upvoted. Why is this? My theory, yes just a theory, is that people want to see if they can look as beautiful as women of maturity. Basically, can children look as good or better than older women. Can children rock clothes better than women who have more years? I generally think it is a bad idea for us to make children think so much of how they look instead of embracing who they are, because we set them up for disappointment at such a young age. I think this will certainly lead children to even in their mature age, to be conscious about how they look and lead to mental and physical…

    Beauty Pageants: Positive or Poisonous?

    There is no doubt that beauty pageants have a negative connotation in today’s society. Who hasn’t seen the hit television show “Toddlers & Tiaras”? Those television producers only want the viewers to see the worst moments, though, so they can get the highest ratings possible. They care only about their income, not the reputation of pageants. Most of the people who believe the pageant world is one of disgust have no clue about what really goes on outside the illusion of television. There are many opposing arguments against pageants and pageant contestants. Feminists believe that they are degrading and sexist towards the female gender, because they should not be judged on their “womanly” attributes and rewarded for their looks. Parents, on the other hand, argue that allowing daughters to participate in a beauty pageant is a horrible parenting mistake, claiming that it teaches them to only rely on their outside appearance because that is all that matters if they want to succeed in life. All of those beliefs are completely incorrect. Beauty pageants are beneficial to those competing because they provide them with a safe extracurricular activity, help prepare them for the future, and affect them in a positive way.…

    Pseudo Models

    Thanks to the media and the model agencies, a considerable number of young ladies are pumped out last summer. Right before June, some of these nameless girls were ordinary students like you and me. Some were working part-time and some were idling the days away. These girls, aged between 17 to at most 24, appear to be a different kind of models—what we now call the pseudo-models. Not receiving much education, they can still earn a lot, which brings them criticisms of setting bad examples to children from the general public. Honestly, I am writing to express my approval of this critical comment.…
