  • Essay / The Sexualization of Women Today - 1682

    The representation of women in the television and film industry has radically affected many of their lives. Too often, women compare themselves to the female images they see on television, in movies and in advertisements; on both a conscious and subconscious level, these media images of women lower self-esteem and affect behavior at every age and stage of life.
