Essay about Oversexualization in the Media

Miley Cyrus once played Hannah Montana on Disney Channel. Hannah was a role model to lots of kids and teens. Many people looked up to her and wanted to be just like her. However, many people see her as an awful person now because of her uniqueness in style. In the first place, when she shaved off all her hair, everyone was surprised she had cut it all up. The reason why she did it was because she said it felt more like her. She says the way to earn respect is by being you. Another thing she did to express her style was by using midriff shirts, getting tattoos, crying on stage to her song wreaking ball and sticking her tongue out at every opportunity. Miley has grown up and became a whole different person. For example, before she “murdered” Hannah Montana, she did not use drugs or dressed up half naked in performances. In fact, Miley has faced a lot of problems with drugs and relationships. Indeed, many of us deal with relationship problems but, we should not be influenced by Celeberties like Miley to do drugs or

One of the most popular teenage entertainers ever is warping the minds of our youth. Appearing on television commercials, MTV videos, many magazine covers, and the radio, Britney Spears is taking control of raising today’s children. Her perfect looks and sexual appeal have mesmerized young viewers. Children and teens strive to be just like her. Although some people allow their children to idolize Britney Spears, I now see that she is an inappropriate role model for her targeted audience of five to thirteen-year-olds.

Miley Cyrus, is an inspiration to many young women all over the world. Due to the flip-flopping of her music, she has helped show a long-term cultural problem. Miley Cyrus, 24-year old, singer-songwriter and actress. In 2006, she was recognized as a teen idol when she starred on the Disney channel television series ‘Hannah Montana’. After that, she had a huge downfall, she started using drugs and behaving lecherously. In 2013, while promoting her fourth album “Bangerz” her sexually explicit behavior began, many looked at her in disgust from this point on. Miley Cyrus then struggled with her gender identity. In an interview she states, “ It’s weird that I’m a girl because I just don’t feel like a girl, and I don’t feel like a boy.” Cyrus as well as many others identify themselves as gender neutral. Once cyrus decided to discontinue smoking marijuana, people began to notice. A December 2016 study indicated the drug use has gone down. I wouldn’t necessarily say she’s back to the old Miley just yet, but she’s doing better; however, there is still room for improvement. Miley Cyrus was recently accused of cultural appropriation for hip-hop comments in an interview. In definition, cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of another culture (Farah). This a horrifying concept because it’s often seen as controversial and strips the group of its identity. Miley Cyrus was accused of cultural appropriation because she stereotypes hip-hop

Miley has influenced bountiful young girls when she was young and innocent, also when she was barbarian. Now as she has changed, the girls that have looked up to her for so countless years, continued looking up to her. Creating nasty videos, partying, getting drunk, caused all these young girls to follow when they reached that age. I would tell her that she need to act respectable for a lady that is a role model for lots of people, and could change many lives in her future. Some more advice

Miley Cyrus started her career off at a young age. Being able to keep a completely positive image is tough enough without the pressure of media. Consequently, Miley’s mistakes she made in the process of making a name for herself, other than one given to her by Disney, was expected. Nevertheless, now that she has completely transformed away from Hannah Montana and has calmed down, Miley could be thought of as someone inspiring to the females that grew up watching her grow up, by not only her success, but how she embraces herself without the fear of what others think, as

Now imagine, the lights have gone dark as Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke enter the stage for the 2013 MTV Music Awards. In Miley’s place seems to enter a very scandalously clad woman with poorly dyed blonde hair and stuns the audience with her vulgarity and on-stage sexual moves with Robin Thicke. Surprisingly enough, this vulgar, over-sexual blonde is the one and only Miley herself. What happened to the cute, sassy brunette that we all came to know and love from Disney Channel? “Cyrus presents a

I’m sharing this cartoon picture of Miley Cyrus and Donald Trump. This picture can be described in a thousand words. The picture is mainly representing Miley and Donald as being attention seekers for the year 2016. I don’t know how many people feel about Donald Trump running for president but to me, some of the things that comes out his mouth makes him look uneducated. His views on immigration is ridiculous to most. Everybody have their own opinion about Donald Trump and what he represent but I personal feel he shouldn’t run for president because he has no knowledge of being a great president. Miley Cyrus on the other hand, have changed in many ways. Miley use to be every kid idol. She sung great music and was a great person in many peoples’

The essay aims to explore the reading of the text within Miley Cyrus’s provocative Wrecking Ball music video, using ‘Male Gaze’ theory, and will include some major arguments from the feminists relating to the issue. Without a doubt, the music video acts as the best media product to analyse these theories, as not only that it has been cited in many feminism arguments, it also signifies Miley’s controversial and shocking 360 degrees transformation. Miley Ray Cyrus is an American songstress and actress, who rose to global prominence as a teen idol after being cast in the hit Disney TV series - Hannah Montana. The Grammy Awards nominee has released four albums to date, including ‘Bangerz’, which includes ‘Wrecking Ball’. Through the video, it is indisputable that

Miley decided to be explicit in order to clarify the message that she is a mature individual; an individual that is now grown up and mature enough to make her own decisions. However, her actions demonstrate the complete opposite. She was the talk of the media when she was fined for twerking on a Mexican flag during one of her concerts in Mexico. Hundreds of girls were present when she tortured the flag. This can only say that it is perfectly normal to express in such a way. The message is that women have to act sexy. Miley’s only goal in the media is to gain attention, acknowledgement, and respect. These girls want to be liberated themselves, so they look up to Miley for guidance. In addition, girls are like Miley in a sense that they ignore insults or negativity towards them (mostly from their family.) Miley’s fans feel that they can express themselves in such a way. This reinforces the idea that women should look attractive if they want to be acknowledged. These and many more negative messages lead to depression within women if they don’t act as the female figure that the world expects. This learned behavior is passed from generation to generation, and makes those behaviors become normal

“Passivity, reticence, assuming that men and authority are probably right” (Gauntlett 2008, p.12) might be the stereotype of traditional femininity that women are often portrayed in mass media. In particular, Disney is often scrutinized against its representation of female: being weak with no specific talent. Different from most of the Disney productions, the main character of my chosen media ‘Hannah Montana the movie’ (Hannah Monanata: the Movie 2009), Miley, displayed her power and managed a double identity of superstar (being Hannah Montana) and ordinary girl (being Miley Stewart). This essay aims at analysing how the movie relates to the representation of social identity – femininity, particularly in a post-feminist context. To switch between two distinctive identities, how Miley dressed has become the key to identify her role in her life.

The barrage of sexulized women in media is trashing teen girls mental health. Research by the American Psychology Association shows that, “through the constant exposure to sexulized images of women and girls, females learn that their primary value comes from their physical appearance.” This is just not healthy. Teenage

Justin Bieber has had a rough life. He’s been photographed supposedly messing with marijuana, kicked out of a nightclub, and almost cussed out a paparazzi. With all of the pressures of fame, it’s caused him to lash out at people and do harmful things that ruined his image. When Lindsay Lohan turned 17 things took a bad turn for her, she was caught driving under the influence many times; and because of that her career was destroyed. She lost the chance to play important roles in hit movies because of her bad decisions with drugs and alcohol. Miley Cyrus had pressures of having to be just like her character, Hannah Montana. In order to distance herself she cut her hair short, and she later stunned her fans by appearing nude in her music video, “Wrecking Ball.” She felt pressured to live up to her character, which led her to make bad choices like being nude in her music video and doing drugs. Fame can pressure you to do things that you normally wouldn’t do if you weren’t

2. Fans of Miley Cyrus are a huge influence on her when she first starts out as a Disney star. Her fans thought she was America’s sweetheart when she appears in a controversial photo shoot they became upset. Miley’s fans were the reasons

If one were to take a look at an image of Miley Cyrus ten years ago, one in the present, and one in the future they would not believe she is the same person. On March 26th, 2006, the live-action comedy show, Hannah Montana was launched on Disney Channel with Miley Cyrus playing her first major role as the show’s protagonist, conveniently named Hannah Montana. The television show showcased a 13 year old teenager’s everyday misadventures as living a double life as Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana. The show instantly became a fan favorite, permanently portraying Miley Cyrus’ public image as Hannah Montana. At that point, Miley was young, she was innocent, and further down the road had blossomed to the independent,
