Persuasive marketing
It is every woman desire to be desired. Being attractive makes a person feel confident. Not only knowing but being told your attractive improves your self confidence dramatically. It is easy for an attractive or an average looking person to feel sexy but an unattractive person finds extreme difficulty feeling as such. Beauty is truly hard to maintain and lies beyond the naked eye deep within the docile of your essence .Sexiness requires a certain amount of classiness. It contains a controlled amount of sex, to avoid sloppiness. When we involve our children in this triumphant escapade we steer directly into sloppiness, creating a passiveness that is destroying our society. Sex sells there is no denying or avoiding that fact. Woman’s sexuality has been used to sell and promote numerous products and we have allowed these image into everyday living. The public is flooded with sexual images of woman from commercials to cartoons what does this tell us about our culture? Socially we are destroying a woman’s self worth, our sex obsessed culture is tampering with our perceptions. Socially teen girls are lead to believe that sexiness is the ultimate accolade far more important than knowledge or wisdom. They believe being sexy is the greatest satisfaction sought after more than any other accomplishment or success. Woman of all ages and sizes are competing to be slag’s and sluts, on the basis of how much they are willing to do sexually for boy’s. And I stress boys because any real man desires a woman who is capable of reflecting sufficient behavior that confirms her status. Anyone can reflect sex or promiscuity it takes a real woman of amazing attributes to be sexy. While young woman are being manipulated to believe behaving provocatively is helpful to their social status research confirms a different story. A study focused on how women who emphasized “sexiness” were viewed in a high status work environment.. The results showed that a provocatively dressed women in a managerial role developed hostile emotions and were labeled less intelligent. However when study participants were told that the woman was a receptionist, there were no negative emotions or negative perceptions of the woman’s competence. Displaying that the less educated a person is the more likely and socially acceptable it is to dress provocatively. Many believe that if you have to flaunt it you don’t got it and are using irrelevant methods to get ahead.
Many warn the provocative dressing could be relatively hazardous to their career.
Many woman are tempted to reveal a little skin to obtain exposure for self propagation. Sex has become inescapable the media is aware of this and are exploiting to the fullest extent. The undeniable corruption has woman managing their own persuasive marketing. Woman of constructive attributes are baring all to obtain the respected publicity their work deserves. Woman with naturally beauty and amazing qualities are extremely sexy and more appealing than women who only posses physical attractions. Though it has is extremely difficult to sort through societies beauties. With great extortion their location will be pinned creatively to the walls of revelation; “If you can’t beat them join them”. Entertainment has become an incredibly large part of Americas culture. If music videos entertained with woman dressed in long dresses boot scooting to the national anthem I’m confident it would not have gained so much enjoyment. The key to separating entertainment and reality is communication. It is important to communicate to our children that amusement is not direction. It is critical that we understand that explicit images of entertainers is not the form our existence is expected to fulfill. We are not obligated to be physically acceptable there is no specific form or exemplary. We are precisely different in order to maintain diversity. Without correct understanding of our culture a young girl can be easily lost within cherry cola lip gloss and diva dolls. Constructively we owe it to our children to be less submissiveness towards their addiction to entertainment. Before you allow your children to glaze upon any forms of media be sure they understand the reality of its fiction.
Culture is the foundation to a group of people. It is how they relate to each other and closely resemble one another. The importance of every symbol and tradition determines the security of that group. The stronger the loyalty to their original heritage the more secure their organization is. When a racial groups relocated to the United States their cultures is somewhat threatened. They were surrounded by a completely different culture and were forced become familiar with the new culture before they became outcast. This mistreatment caused them to hide their cultural symbols, avoiding speaking their language outside their homes and sometimes none at all. To this day people feel no reason to enforce their cultural values. They show no interest or common courtesy to solid heritage. Young Europeans consider themselves white and Hispanic\ Americans are simply Mexican. The example that a youth are supplied with is Americanized and some say lacks culture. This statement contradicts its self Americanized is our culture. Materials and incidents that have become typical in our society are examples of culture symbols. Our language is loose and mixed among many other things through out the country.
Knowledge of language and culture symbols from ones own heritage resembles loyalty. Those who are remain familiar it contain a large amount of respect for their heritage. They find comfort in the initial traditions as well as newly established traditions created to keep up with modern times. We must educate ourselves as well as our youth to historic traditions, symbols, foods and of course learn our language. With doing so we gain a sense of contentment and security. We know who we are and where we came from we have security. With the language we have a connection to other who are similar to us and can relate to our traditions and customs. During holidays and special events we cluster around our favorite symbols and foods. We have a sense stability through our originator of organization. It makes life much more exciting and recreation as exciting as being recreated. Americanized tradition contains nothing more than technology and typical mistakes caused by their creations.
When we educate ourselves to our cultures and traditions we further educate ourselves. We also create a deeper respect towards others not that similar to ourselves. We allow others to further educate us and allow ourselves to teach. We all have culture that can be passed on and accepted. We are all familiar with other cultures and consciously and unconsciously allow some stereo types into our minds. Education is the key to accepting the unknown. We may find a tradition or custom of another culture to be odd or different but can be explained. Explanation and edification can lead to acceptance and comfort knowing that their traditions contains some similarities.
Television definitely hinders our perception on intergroup relations. Some forms of television also help. The approach towards other groups has some what been eliminated by programs that educate the community. The take typical stereo types and create a program or movie that shows someone over coming their ignorance. Most programs however do not support this idea. They show strangers just as we fear them mysterious, destructive and unsafe. We are subliminally programmed to beware strangers never to trust them or accept them. They also some what have a favored side that they always seem to glamorize their preferred group. Television is the only form of media for some people and when they remain on one specific channel with a unfair view on specific issues they can be misinformed. It is common for someone to take that unfair statement or information and spread it. Making this one sided theory farther than education would allow.
Most people do not take television to seriously. For those who prefer to watch things on a more serious note prefer to watch educational programs that verify their clarity. Television for the most part can not be trusted to direct or teach in any form. It can be used to assist showing visuals related to real teachings. When it is allowed to guide or program a persons approach on reality that becomes a large issue. Creating a generation with only half of the story. Who are missing the point and establishing their own when they pass the ignorance along. People will not watch a form of television that does not agree with their beliefs. They will stick with what they know and what they feel comfortable with. We have allowed to many beings to be programmed by garbage and unawareness. Although we have all agreed not to control television any more. Something needs to be done. There are a large number of civilians who are allow themselves to be overcome by the tube. They are not stepping out side of their homes to obtain the real version or even the entire story. Allowing a controlled media to condition relations between intergroups in not affective. We need to allow more truth into television.
Television has become very effective in reaching the commune. It is overpowering and effective in its own purpose. We need to take control and redirect its purpose in hopes that it will direct all to acceptance. Hate and mistreatment has been allowed into the mainstream and has become a poison. We must treat each other the way we would prefer to be treated and it needs to be reflected on television.
Sexualization
Because I am woman I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, “she doesn’t have what it takes”; They will say “Woman don’t have what it takes”,

Society has been conditioned by sex. We have allowed sexuality to find comfort in our basic lives. Children are introduced to sexual images and activities as early as their motor skills are developed. The Media has created a society that is addicted to sex. Woman are symbolized and their bodies idolized. They are given a message to act according to their appearance. Girls have been instructed to use their bodies to gain importance. Statistics show that teens are more likely to engage in sexual activities if they believe their peers are. If young girls are surrounded by sexual images from childhood they will establish explicit habits. Females are becoming sexually active before they are even considered woman. The earlier a girl is when she first engages in intercourse, the greater the risk of suicide attempts, alcohol use, drug abuse, truancy and pregnancy says Harold Leitenberg, Ph.D, a professor of psychology at the University of Vermont*. He conducted a study that determined that girls aged 11 and 12 lost their virginity to men five or more years older. Young lives are being corrupted while they are still children. As they become woman they are trained to think that its is necessary to be sexually active in order to establish a relationship. When morally it is necessary to establish a healthy relationship before engaging in sex. This is what we need to be embedding in our daughters minds. Instead we are allowing them to mimic sexual dances and gestures that they are being introduced to through entertainment!? Teen girls who watch more than 14 hours of music videos are more likely to have multiple sex partners and worse diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease. On average music videos contain 93 sexual situations per hour , 11 of them are consider hardcore scenes portraying explicit activities such as intercourse or oral sex. Youth who are exposed to sexual content on T.V are more likely to overestimate the rate of sexual activity among their peers and are more likely to have more permissive attitudes toward premarital sex.
The entertainment industry plays a strong role on the Americas passivity towards sex. They portray sexual images on television, through movies, sitcoms, music videos, reality shows and commercials. More than two thirds of the shows aired on television in the United States included sexual content. This was reported by Vicky Rideout of The Kaiser Family foundation in her biennial report on sex and entertainment. She describes the sexual content as sex talk, characters planning to have sex and scenes with sexual intercourse. Entertainment is a dramatic reflection of reality, poverty and lack of education play into early sexual activity*.
Woman especially lower class woman have historically used sex (in prostitution and various other domains) as the "bartering chip" to gain access. Misogynistic ideas and practices from the past have been passed down to today’s hip-hop youth. Some men have become overly addicted to valued economic assets and use these assets to manipulate and control woman. What is more disgusting is that many woman defined their self worth based on what they can, do for and get from a man. Several woman are willing to take risks their hearts, bodies, and souls hoping to raise their socio-economic status. Most perform these risks to obtain security for their children’s future. They have learned and are teaching to use their sexuality to gain power. Vibe Magazine talked to four women in an article published in September 2001. The woman regularly had one-night stands or on-going sexual relationships with rappers. One of the women Vibe talked to named Nikki, a 30-year-old woman who has had many lovers in the hip-hop industry. Vibe stated, "…her lovers read like a Who’s Who of rap." And questioned her reason for partaking in multiple insignificant relationships with rappers? Her response was "I’ve got nothing to offer…No education, no good job, no nothing. So why would a man want me, other than sex? I felt I had to give, so I used myself.". This is the mentality that has conditioned our woman.
The solution to this problem is education! This has been said repeatedly but it is truly the key. The community first needs to become aware of the problem, and it cause not just the outcome. Woman’s rights are being violated; verbally through sexual lyrics, visually via television, magazines and the internet and in physical interactions such as events and shows. Girls are targeted Through a variety of media, from television and movies to song lyrics, as well as advertisements showing body-baring doll clothes for pre-school girls, and pre teens while posing in suggestive ways in magazines as well as the sexual antics of young celebrity role models. Researchers found these images may make girls think of and treat their own bodies as sexual objects. Ann Pellegrini, an associate professor at New York University who refers to this issue as the sexualization of children. Stating "Not that I would deny there is this aggressive marketing to children, but there is a deep moralization around it," she says. "I do think girls and women are still profoundly objectified when it comes to sex, but there may well be some things that look like objectification that are being experienced by girls and young women that feel empowering.". Most woman find gratification in being attractive and sexy. But teaching this behavior to our daughters is not cute nor acceptable. Realistically it is corrupting our young ladies and causing them calculate their self confidence according to their physical appearance. The younger a female begins having sex the less likely she is to graduate highs school and have higher rates of teen pregnancy, seventy percent of those woman end up on welfare. Clearly woman are the ones suffering and their children are reaping from this, thus the cycle continues.
Parents are a child first teacher it is time we lead by example. We need to practice actions that are safe and healthy. How are we doing this by allowing our children to engage in sexual activities. Entertainment portrays sex with passiveness but we need to inform our youth accurately. Sex is a form of compassion that is shared between two persons who share intimacy. Not a loose game used to manipulate someone’s feelings or a tool to gain status. It is to remain within the privacy of those individuals. The media has gone to far by allowing privacy to become entertainment. It is time to redirect our daughters to establish themselves and work effectively in becoming a woman. Education, art, sports activities, dancing and creative drama are all constructive things that can help redirect our mademoiselle’s.
