Description

The advertisement I chose was models and what they endure to walk some of the biggest catwalks of Paris, New York, and Milan. The title speaks volume but so does the look of the models, for they are all tall and thin with chiseled.

Feelings

The advertisement made me feel like I could not relate. I did not see anyone that even resembled me, not of the face but more so the body type. However, within the title, the word slave stood out to me, as the article went into detail explaining the young models following their dreams. Nevertheless, they were living a nightmare that involved debt, low pay, consumption, depression as well as suppression.

Affect

This advertisement may affect a child in many ways because a picture can give false hope, just like makeup can cover up a bruise. The understating that everything that glitters is not gold needs to be said to the adolescent and or child. Modeling has a lot of behind-the-scenes trauma and everyone that goes in does not come out the same. Stay thin within this field often comes with starvation and other eating disorders, or just being compared to someone else, therefore, competing within your own self-worth and esteem.Given the recent focus on eating disorders in children, counselors must consider eating concerns that affect children of all racial and ethnic groups and hence are effective in working with this population (Talleyrand, 2010).We must teach, praise, give compliments and affirmations when letting them always know that they are good enough in whatever shape, form, or fashion they come.
