1.)  30-35

2.)  Female

3.)  Nebraska

4.)  Married

5.)  That you have to look a certain way to be accepted and if you don't look "pretty" enough, you'll be enhanced to look the way the media would like to project you. This is very damaging and how can anyone live up to these standards when no one is perfect. No wonder there are so many suicides and eating disorders in our country. It's very sad!!

6.)  That she isn't enough the way she is. That she's not as pretty as she should be. It could also rob her of her confidence and make her feel self-conscious.

7.)  Youth and young adults.

8.)   It could have a possitive impact as well as a negative one. The fact is that there is a lot of obesity in America. This may encourage some to lose weight. However, the overall message is that you need to lose weight or look a certain way even if you don't need to. So people utilize unhealthy means to make there bodies look "right". Things like risky diet drugs or supplements and fasting diets to name a couple. This is sad because there are so many body types and not everyone should or can look like a model. There's beauty everywhere and we teach our children and teens that you have to look like a Barbie to be beautiful and to be worth anything.

9.)  By celebrating Mariah Carey's natural beauty and using that instead of photo shop. Find clothes that accentuate her body type and find sexy clothes in her size instead of shoving her in clothes that are 2 sizes to small. It would make a huge impact on our youth if our differences were encouraged and celebrated and not cropped even if we do need to shape up or lose some weight.

Thank you Hollus for helping me!

1) over 40

2)female

3)California

4)married

5) Beauty and youth are the most valuable things in our society

6) Growing older is not desirable

7)under 30

8) Negatively as women will try to attain that level of beauty even though it isn't even attainable by Mariah herself.

9) Yes, it could use a younger model if the target audience is under 30 or try and use Mariah in a more natural way while still keeping her hip and relevant... It may even open up the demographic.

Thank you Cher!!
