Peggy Orenstein’s point is that she is expressively disappointed on how today’s society labels young girls wanted to be girly, princesses, ext. She gives many examples that have happened to her daughter. She states that multiple people had called her daughter princess, been given a pink balloon without her having any say in what color she wanted. Labeling her as the “Ideal” female child by today’s standards. Mrs. Orenstein then continues that it’s not only towards female girls but to boys as…

Producing the photograph from the ‘Wonderland series would’ve taken a very long process because of the backdrop. In order to make a backdrop, she would’ve had to research and find images she would like to use for her backdrop. It seems like she’d combined many ideas together to create her wonderful backdrop that incorporates a deck of card and different kinds of animals.

Emotional, physical, and mental healthiness is crucially imperative to an individual, especially a young individual so that he or she can develop properly while transitioning into adulthood. Unfortunately, many child beauty pageant participants are pressured to look their best at multiple competitions, and particularly girls who have started at a very early age fall into a routine of being lectured about their looks. So with all the pressure on little girls to look perfect…

Beauty pageants are essentially a form of child abuse. Forcing children to continue to participate in pageants even though it is evident that they are not enjoying it for the sake of gratification for the parents or financial gain is ethically immoral and a form of abuse. Some parents believe that they are providing healthy competition for their children and that since it is not physically harming them, then it is not a form of abuse.

Beauty Contests don’t serve any purpose Beauty pageants became a part of American society in the 1920’s. Child beauty pageants began in the 1960’s.

Children beauty pageants have been a big issue for a while. There are some people who will fight to keep beauty pageants. They think it’s good for the young girls and will help them later on in life.

I 'm 1.60m tall and you need to be at least 1.70m (5 feet 7 inches),’ says Andrea Reyes who teaches catwalk skills in a beauty school in Venezuela (Grainger, 2012). Mental problems seem to cause by the tightness schedule of the beauty contests.
