Imagine this: A world where mental health isn’t a roadblock, where parents aren’t filled with the I-wish-I could’ve-done-something-to-save-them feeling, where teens aren’t mourning the death of their friends, and a world where suicide isn’t an option. Over the years, I have had many dolls that I’ve spent long hours playing with, but none have been as great as yours. Your company and the dolls that you sell are unlike any in the market today. I myself have two American Girl dolls, own several of the

One project that distinguished me in class was the Cell Organelle Video. My partner and I were one of the few groups that made a music video. We effectively demonstrated the function of our assigned organelle, the ribosome. At first, my partner was very hesitant to complete the project in the form of a music video, but I encouraged him to try something that was out-of-the-box. I was committed to making a music video, and we thoroughly explained the role of a ribosome in transcription and making proteins

Are you a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, unlike the song I doubt you and everything around you is perfect. In my opinion girls today are trying too hard to be a life size Barbie. Sometimes girls might think everyone will like them if they are super skinny, tall, and blonde. Believe me you wouldn’t want to be a Barbie in real life; you’re fixing to find out why. Some say it shouldn’t matter, “she’s just a toy”, or “she’s so pretty who cares if she doesn’t look real.” But to me it does matter. If

Barbie Doll Women have a wrong perspective about beauty. With media and social networking on the rise, the standard of beauty is skewed to what others portray it to be. Women who don’t have supportive people around them to reinforce the true concept of beauty often grow up to be self-destructive and seek validation from all the wrong places. There is too much importance and too much anxiety placed on women to surrender to the image of being or becoming a Barbie doll. In the poem “Barbie Doll,” written

Another prime example of a solution can be seen through the company Naturally Perfect, a company that creates colored dolls, in a market, which lacks dolls for African-American and Black girls. Founders of Naturally Perfect, Angelica and Jason, created their company after their daughter was discontent and deeply influenced by how there were no dolls that resembled her, “Like most young girls with kinky/curly hair, my daughter Sophia was not happy with her kinks and curls because of the doll I was

Better Barbie By Jesse K., Grand Ledge, MI I don’t have any alumni ties to Brown, though it’s possible I could be the long-lost granddaughter of James S. Miller. Never have I sailed the Pacific Ocean on the back of a humpback whale, nor can I wrap sushi with the skill of former Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. I haven’t done much research regarding podiatry, and chances are I will never win the Michigan Mega-Millions lottery. I am, however, the proud owner of a Little Mermaid Edition Barbie.

The consequences of not having this appearance are often brutal. Girls are deemed

The poem remains popular in large parts because it continues to represent women's experience. When you read the title of this poem, automatically you get a sense of something that is not real, a typical

The response for the poem “Barbie Doll” The poem “Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy seems to be a strange poem. When I first read it, I thought that is a poem for children, but the ending of the poem is weird. Then I read it again many times. I remembered that one time, when I was in my art class. We were talking about the image of the Barbie Doll and the American culture. The body shape of the Barbie Doll was changing over time to meet the standard which depends on the culture and society at the specific
