Girls, The Book of Eli.

Girls

Advertising is the pornography of our generation. In this current world, everywhere you look, you will either find an image of a girl who's half naked or looking vulnerable and weak, being open to predators. These ads which you find in magazines, posters and television, usually objectifies the women, giving the illusion that when you are looking at her, she is not a person, she is just a piece of ass, beautiful eyes and a set of breasts or legs. The continuation of this throughout many years now, has polluted the minds of the majority of our population.

However, it is still the lack of reflection in their own lives which causes females to be perceived as inferior to males. Girls these days frequently go on diets to try lose weight, to make themselves look skinnier like the models which they see on magazines (who are always visually edited to look perfect). Little do they know that large amount of males actually do not find super skinny girls attractive, also girls who actually love themselves for who they are seen to be much more vibrant and fun.

The commercial world also give out images that girls should not be talking, for example I have seen an advertisement selling eye liner, and in bold words printed next to the girls face are "let your eyes do the talking". These messages subliminally sink into peoples mind, for both males and females, making them slowly store the thought of men being greater compared to women, explaining why even though they are working the same job, men would get paid on average 10~15% higher.

I want this picture of the world to be changed, I'm sick of seeing people hurting themselves trying to lose weight. I'm tired of girls dressing themselves in mini skirts even when it's freezing, just so they can get more looks. I'm tired of people trying to be someone else instead of being content about who they are. I grew up mostly with just my sister and my mother, they have both proved to me that women can be strong, women can stand up for themselves and that they are no less then men.

The Book of Eli (not a spoiler)

Although not everyone would enjoy this movie as I did, I still recommend everybody to go watch it. It is interesting to see how many things we take for granted in this current world. We all consume infinitely as if that we will never run out of resources on this finite planet. Factories produce mass toxic chemicals, cut down trees, dig out mines and pollute our water in an ever increasing rate. One day when we have reached the end, and nothing is left, we will realise how much we have wasted, and how much people would pay for things we would throw away. Like chapsticks, shampoo, soap, all these things will become the ultimate luxury when all we have is nothing. So please people, be good to the environment, recycle more and use more organic products !! (using more organic products also decreases the chance of you getting cancer, as artificial chemicals are one of the main causes)
