I want to write this paper about the health of every woman that is influenced by the media. The main thing I want to focus on is commercials. People hate waiting for commercials so why are there are always three to four of them within a half hour show? As we’re waiting impatiently for our show to come back on, the commercials are out to trick us. Commercials portray everything in a positive way towards their product and don’t tell us the flaws. It makes everything so perfect and creates envy. Envy to be able to be like those super skinny, perfect proportioned, unbelievably gorgeous women in every commercial. Sadly, people attempt to be like this, hurting themselves physically and mentally; harming their health. Along with commercials that make us envy others, there are commercials on food. These commercials are advertised by skinny men/women that inform us about how good the food is but never about how unhealthy it is. Commercials are harming our health in every way possible.

I think this would be a great topic to write about for my 7-10 page research paper because it is specific yet broad. My topic isn’t too specific so it can be very flexible. Having flexibility is a great thing so I am not limited to talk about only one thing. I feel as though I would be able to research a lot and talk about various things in commercials that affect us. I definitely want to make use of good sources. Online resources will be a huge part of my research project. I would be able to find an abundant amount of information about my topic on the web. I plan to prove that media affects a person’s health in a negative way. I hope to achieve this by writing about how big of an impact media through commercials give to people watching.
