In this blog post I am going to be answering a few questions about the film we watched in class, Miss Representation. I will be explaining how the film made me feel, how it made me think, and how it impacted me. Also I will be talking about how the film made me want to make a positive change involving all women around the world.
The argument in Miss Representation made me feel embarrassed. Why is it that just because you are a female you are viewed as “weak” or looked down upon? Women are just as capable of doing the same things as men, society just does not give them a chance to prove themselves. In a way, the film also made me feel hopeless because it has been over 150 years and women are still facing the same problems and doing very little about it. The argument makes me think that if the media continues to portray woman the way that it does now, we are less likely to make change in the future for women. We are too caught up trying to mimic the unrealistic lives we see on social media rather than stand up for ourselves and make a difference in the world. The argument in the film Miss Representation motivates me to do better and be better in order to prove society wrong. It makes me want to show all women more love and support. The film made me realize just how bad the media has impacted all women negatively. I catch myself body shaming and talking about myself in negative ways in front of my little sisters and I don't want to be that role model. I don't want my little sisters growing up thinking that they're not beautiful or not good enough. For them, myself, and all women around the world it is important to show self love and to believe in yourself and to not let society's view on women belittle you. Prove them wrong and make a difference.

Preach Alaina! It's insane to know that women are perceived through the media as weak, not smart, objects and amongst other things.
