My research paper is going to consist of both a research paper and a album containing pictures that was collected. My research paper is going to provide information on what two guys imagine and think about when they think of women. These two guys are Mike, my friend and Timmy, my cousin. These guys are basically the guinea pigs in my experiment and their findings will be collected in the album. The other half of the research project is the paper that will not only explain the project but give information on the pressure that has been put on so many women to look like perfect and in many ways models. With the experiment, I handed both Mike and Timmy four magazines: two
Mademoiselles and two Allures. I then asked them …show more content…
They show their desire for these perfect creatures but also in real everyday life. For example in the movie "Pretty Women" Julia Roberts portrayed a prostitute who was dressed up transformed into the "perfect women" by Richard Gere. He not only bought all name brand clothes to dress her up in but also was taught how to act like a "proper women" with all the lessons in etiquette. The movie not only gave the message that women should be "transformed" into what the men desire; but also sent the message that some women are willing to change in order to live up to the man's expectations.

In the world that we live in today, the majority of men view a women as two things: a possession and a bearer of babies.
In the Handmaid's Tale,(Atwood,1986,backcover) Offered, "must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in the age of declining births, Offered and other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable." The description basically summarized the theory that many men believe and pass on to later generations, that women are only good for making babies. My research paper hopefully opened up some people's eyes on the subject of natural beauty and artificial beauty. Everybody was born with imperfections and flaws; there is nobody that is absolutely perfect! Throughout history men have categorized women as sex objects, bearers of babies, and the person that they want to look perfect on their side when they walk into a gathering.
