My Dolls Feelings

Everyone likes a person who is happy and friendly. “In order to look good on the outside you must feel good on the inside” (source K). How true this is! You can wear the best makeup and the most up to date clothes, but if you don’t love you, people can see how sad you truly are. It might sound harsh, but I have seen a friend go from the happiest person on earth to someone who looks like they need help, in the matter of seconds because they made a mistake. Over three-quarters of women on the survey I mentioned earlier believe that “beauty can be achieved through attitude, spirit, and other attribute that have nothing to do with physical appearance” (source I). That is a very large number over a very large area. So if you think you aren’t gorgeous, just try being a little happier each and every day and every one of those minuscule imperfections will soon disappear. So many people have low self-esteem because of their looks. But we now know that true beauty comes from the heart. Helping others to see their beauty is a great way to find your own, and you can impact many lives for the better. And if someone is physically attractive, make sure they know it. No body is the same, so why change

Young girls playing with Bratz dolls is not an ideal situation because the doll teaches them how to make themselves look more sexualized. This plastic doll is only six inches in length, much shorter then it’s competitor Barbie, but it still holds much more impact on a child. With very voluminous hair and outrageous makeup such as eyeshadow, lipstick, and mascara, little girls are being exposed to something that they should not have to experience until they are in their teens. The dolls lead young girls to think

In our society today, there are many ways identity plays a role in how people live their lives, as well as how people are viewed or treated by others. A big part of a person’s identity comes from their gender. Men and women are raised differently, whether it be their beliefs and ways of thinking, how they view their future, or the actions they choose to take throughout their lifetime. In both Katha Pollitt and Silko’s essays, they discuss the differences in the lives of men and women and how these differences result from society’s expectations by using metaphors and life examples to explain their message to the reader, as well as allow the reader to connect to this message.

Research published eleven years after Pipher’s book shows a tangible connection between an adolescent girl’s self-esteem and the perceived importance of looks and social

What happens one is constantly reminded about the way they look, from families, friends, and professionals by “good intentions”? It is going to take “a lot of stones”(Geissler 331). Wood-Barcalow, in her paper “‘But I Like My Body’: Positive body image characteristics and a holistic model for young-adult women” provides a more through analysis on fat acceptance. Not only should individuals love and accept their bodies, they also need acceptance from others (114); For example, support from friends and families, reassurance through religious beliefs, and healthy communications with their own body via diet and exercise, for they will confirm if one’s body is at its best

Normal: Pre-school aged children should be role playing with dolls and or adults and having “tea parties” as well as using a doll to speak for them in embarrassing situations.

persona dolls are good for preparing children for a child coming into the setting with a disability, illness, colour of skin it helps the children to gain knowledge on these situations before the child comes and helps them to deal with it and treat the child the same as everyone else. You can also use them for problems in the group and they are used for discussions and problem solving. The children quickly bond and identify with the dolls and see them as small friends, they are happy and sad for them, and talk about their problems. My persona doll promotes equality because it shows the children that Jake is still the same as the other children even though he has Cerebral Palsy he can still do everything that they do he just struggles with physical activity and needs his PE lessons adapted to suit his needs. By using Jake the children learn that they shouldn’t treat children with disabilities any differently and they should make sure that they involve them and not to isolate them because it makes them feel

The young girl was sitting in her room, brushing her favorite doll’s hair while humming a sweet melodic tune. Her doll was made of brown fabric with pieces of yellow yarn tightly stitched to the doll’s head. It had black button eyes and a pink sundress on. This doll was Haddi’s most prized possession. Haddi’s doll was given to her by her mother when she was a baby, right before her mother had passed away.

People now a days have a problem with the way they appear. For hundreds of years, people, especially females, have been concerned with their weight, the way they look, and the way people perceive them. In the article, Do You Have a Body Image Problem? author Dr. Katharine A. Phillips discusses the concerns with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Dr. Phillips uses her knowledge or ethics to discuss the effects that BDD has on people today. She also uses emotion to show the reader how people are seriously affected by this disorder. In Dr. Phillips article, she discusses how people are emotionally and socially affected by the body dysmorphic disorder, and how society is also affected by it.

An appearance is what most of the world looks at to determine a person’s lifestyle. Have you ever been judged when no one knows the true story? Where they right? When people are judged without good reason, it can affect their self confidence. Most of the people judged by characteristics instead of character. Our status, more times than not, is defined by what we look like, how we dress,and where we’re from.

Have you ever been judged for the way you look? Have you ever been told that you are not pretty enough? This might be because we live in an appearance conscious world, and unless you have the ideal look you will be judged. This has affected many lives of all ages and genders to try to improve their appearance. We hear everywhere that we need to wear certain things, to act certain ways, and most commonly, that we need to lose weight to be happy and accepted in today’s society. This has caused many tragic injuries and mental illnesses to be introduced into the world today.

The enforcement of specific gender roles by societal standards in 19th century married life proved to be suffocating. Women were objects to perform those duties for which their gender was thought to have been created: to remain complacent, readily accept any chore and complete it “gracefully” (Ibsen 213). Contrarily, men were the absolute monarchs over their respective homes and all that dwelled within. In Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, Nora is subjected to moral degradation through her familial role, the consistent patronization of her husband and her own assumed subordinance. Ibsen belittles the role of the housewife through means of stage direction, diminutive pet names and through Nora’s interaction with her morally ultimate

Our personal response to adversity and everyday life’s stresses is unique to each individual person and a product of our environment. What makes one person more or less resilient depends a lot on our social interactions that begin at childhood. The movie “Welcome to the Dollhouse” is a 1995 film by Todd Solondz, it is comedic yet painful at times, as it depicts how cruel kids can be to each other and how resilient an 11-year old girl can be when she is the target. The movie reflects the social problem of bullying that unfortunately is still happening in schools to this day. It gives us a look at the family system and stages of development.

Some individuals have “delusions of ugliness or misshapenness” (Bradbury, 301). This is called body dysmorphic disorder. They hold the belief that something is wrong with them despite them not being ugly at all. The patients` lives gets taken over by the need to find the “cure,” to rid them of their self-thought strange looks. Most patients with this disorder find themselves dejected and felt great shame in how they looked. Patients saw how they looked to be “socially unacceptable and as arousing strong adverse reactions in others, which led to social avoidance.” (Bradbury,
