BARBIE BOOM


WE FACE CHANGES EVERY DAY

Countries have been facing many changes through the years passed. Since the creation of the Barbie doll the world saw it as a stereotype of what a girl and women should be or look like. The Barbie model at firste was a stereotype of the perfect girl and women, but as the years passed on we could see how Mattel Co. (BARBIES CREATOR) changed the Barbie's original look, and also introduced friends and accesories; these can be used as a measurment of how society has changed.


When Barbie first came out she was a perfect blonde girl with the most fashionable outfits, but as years passed every girl wanted to be as cute and as blonde as Barbie. People started noticing this little thing that made this stereotype really bad for society. The first thing that was considered a controversy was Barbie's measurmentes. Because everyone wanted to be like Barbie, society started facing problems as anorexia and bluimia. Next controversy was that Barbie was blonde and it was being selled over the world which meaned that the perfect stereotype for girls was being blonde, so Mattel Co. have to bring out an idea to erease this thinking of discrimination. The big shot was when Mattel created Barbie's friends, but the interesting part of this new dolls was that every new friend had different physical charactereistics which mean that every friend was representing a girl from other side of the world. But there is also a really good part of this Barbie always have been seen in different carreers like giving women the chance to decide in a variety of things what they could be in th future this is a really good example of how things have changed in society through years.
Barbie was the first women looking doll, and she still is part ouf our life but with many changes. Changes in Barbie's appearance and creations of new dolls represent the changes we have had as a community like women and men being equal in society, and Barbie also showed us that everyone should be conisdered the sam without importance of skin color or clothes. Do not ever think of Barbie just like an 11 and a half inch piece of plastic. Barbie is now considered as a representation of women and dolls.
REMEBER YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE, JUST BE UNIQUE.
