This article compares media's effect to concentraition camps. I found this comparison very interesting and a strange way to think about it. The Nazi's made the jewish people concentrait on working to "become a productive German citizen" and the media adds of skinny models make women concentrait on being thin. Media also suggests that being thin wil make you happy. The Naiz's suggested that if you worked you would be released and therefore happy. The truth is, that the jews would never be realsed and people will never be happy with their body, they always want to be better than they are.
