Miss Representation Blog 7

I am thankful for documentaries such as Miss Representation.

I believe that lying in the depths of women’s thoughts is confusion. We have so many mixed emotions of angst, guilt, anxiety as well is of a keen understanding of our strength, power and will to succeed. How can a woman be blessed with so much beauty and power and yet succumb to the temptations of constantly trying to satisfy a world ruled primarily by men? Suffering in sacrifice does not only come to women however, It comes to us all. The advice for women at the end of this film is solid but I believe it should be advised to all.  I agree that women have a powerful voice in the world and can definitely make a change.  However we have seen the challenges that we face in the nature of change.  People react severely to it. 

Humanity experiences so many temptations that keep them from making mindful choices for their future.  A change in our educational structure early in the stages in the development of life needs to take place, in my opinion.  We wait too long to become aware of the consequences of our choices.  The structure of education should be to empower the young with the strength to believe in themselves and to be able to stop with time and value for the choices they will make and what they will mean to her future.


Messages such as the ones in “Miss Representation” bring to the surface should be used as mantras to educate our youth.
