    Miss Representation outlines how damaging to girls and women media and culture is, given that it is controlled and designed almost exclusively by men. Damaging images concerning women’s bodies and roles strip girls and women of their autonomy and makes them vulnerable to self-objectification, body dysmorphia and self-image issues, and rape culture – from more covert transgressions like being subjected to unwanted (non-sexual) touch and sexist attitudes, to explicit violence such as sexual assault and coercion. The title of the documentary lends itself to a few different interpretations, however perhaps the two most significant are: the idea that women’s representation in the media can be boiled down to one prototype or character (i.e. Miss…

Since then the quality of life gap between eastern and western countries has been decreasing due to the increased export of valuable resources such as oil from developing countries (Hillman, director, 2010).…
