As depicted from the screening of Killing us Softly which suggest slender is the best and Tough Guise which implies tough is the only way for guys the media sets the foundation that the teenage society faithfully follow inorder to fit perfectly into today society.

An example of the cultivation theory that numerous of my girlfriends abide by is represented in a previous season of the world wide television show America's Next Top Model hosted by every girls perfect sized model Tyra Bamks, or so I thought! In the episode sited in the visual above the presented model is approximately 100 pounds or less nd exactly 6'2. This episode influence girls who view or once viewed themselves as model material to believe that the characteristics of this model; in which Tyra Banks is obviously fascinated by, is what they have to be in order to be successful. The heighted praise rewarded to the too skinny model in the competition disguises the true reality behind the model. This representation suggest that the concept of being slim is the way it should be when in reality to actually is not. The fame behind this concept creates an debate on rather the media should advertise an more diverse outlook on the view of and beautiful model type individual.
