Barbie :: miscellaneous

BarbieGood afternoon everyone. Im Dr. Nikolovski and Im here to talk to you about the contr oversial Barbie. Barbie, recently turned 40, is perhaps the most debated about childs toy in the world. She is sold in over 150 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 dumbfound of say perfection have to do with real life you may ask? This successful toy whom is considered to promote an unhealthy lifestyle and image, is a role model of millions of girls around 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 enliven 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 millions. But the argumen t still remains, that Barbie is a unstable role model for young girls. While some agree yes, I definitely believe no Barbie has been blamed for quite a few things. take disorders being one them, as a result of her anorexia-inspired body. However it must be noted that eating disorders are proven to be a psychological disease, just 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 yet 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 days 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 mil lennium Barbie of 2002 is set to head off to international High School in New York. Barbies instant success was not from her body or looks, exclusively clearly from what came with her. Its clear now that her ultimate success is her transformation like qualities.
