The article called Report: Media Portrayals Of Women Affect Health was written by Deborah L. Tolman. This article is written from a different prospective. It concentrates on sexual image of women shown in advertising and it cause to the surrounding world. It is important to mention so it is clear how big the influence of advertising is and that it can also start in very early age.
There are different types of sexy images of women shown by media. These images can show little girls with different make up to make them look older, offensive phrases used in well know songs or even Disney characters like Little Mermaid who shows more skin that would be appropriate. This can cause confusion for male audience when looking for this kind of image of woman in real world as well as confusion for young girls who want to look like these models.
In the second part of the article Tolman claims that “sexualized images are projected to suggest sexual availability to the exclusion of other personal characteristics and qualities, which is inappropriate for any female.” There are many young models looking older in the advertising. This might cause a problem to younger girls that get easily influenced and there is a chance that they carry out the problem of a fake image with them until older age.
It is a duty of parents to explain the media influence to these little ladies. By this action, we prevent them to grow up as women who do not see a real image of themselves but they try to look like some unreal picture created in front of the camera.

This article informs us how different media influences little girls. While reading this article, I started to think about advertisements whith little girls and even Disney portrayals, and I must agree that sexual images are used more often and young girls are appearing older because of the use of make up. I think that it is the responsibility of every parent to explain his/her daughter that make up is made for women and not girls, and the risks that can appear when a young girl is showing too much skin.
