BarbieGood afternoon everyone. Im Dr. Nikolovski and Im here to discourse to you about the controversial Barbie. Barbie, recently turned 40, is perhaps the most debated about childs gip in the world. She is sold in over one hundred fifty Countries and is known to almost every child and adult worldwide. According to creator Mattel, over 93% of all Australian girls aged between 3 and 10 own at least one Barbie each, and the typical American girl of the same age has on average 9. So what does this model of supposed beau ideal deem to do with real life you may ask? This successful toy whom is considered to promote an unhealthy lifestyle and image, is a fibre model of millions of girls near the world, including you daughters. Today I am here to put you any doubts you may have to rest and to promote Barbie as a good and inspiring toy for your children to be playing with. Barbie is one of the most enduring stars in the world. Shes loved, hated, tortured, adored and disemboweled by mi llions. But the argument still remains, that Barbie is a bad role model for young girls. While some agree yes, I definitely believe no Barbie has been blamed for quite a few things. Eating disorders universe one them, as a result of her anorexia-inspired body. However it must be noted that eating disorders are proven to be a mental disease, meet as something like schizophrenia. How a doll, a toy, something for girls to play with is able to be responsible for such a disease is a question Id be curious to hear answered. Especially as the girls whom play with Barbie are those aged between 3 and 10. Barbie has been around since March 1959, and Im and to hear about an eating disorder directly linked with her. I believe that Barbie is an inspiration to young girls in her multiple careers. Which over the years have included things from tennis player, presidential candidate, and paleontologist to an astronaut, which was back in 1964, before there were any women astronauts. This years new generation millennium Barbie of 2002 is engraft to head off to international High School in New York. Barbies instant success was not from her body or looks, but all the way from what came with her. Its clear now that her ultimate success is her transformation like qualities.
