Todays portrayal and vivid picture of what the ideal feminine body should be

Multicultural Barbie and the Invisible Other By Brittany Mok We consume cultural images that sell us normative ideals of what it means to be beautiful, successful, just, and powerful through mass media. Starting from childhood, we consume massive amounts of media images through a culture developed in television and advertising, which tells us the values and identities we should embrace and how we should react to people within our social groups and outside of them. Although the doll seems to encourage independence and creativity in all young girls, Barbie has historically been intended for the white, middle-class America Goldman and continues to do so even though multicultural Barbies now exist. The limitations of ethnic diversity and the problematic, stereotypic images of the ethnic dolls from the Dolls of the World and World Culture Barbie series serve to sideline minority groups as invisible Others separate from American society, and reinforce a normative image of white, feminine beauty.

But when JJ, Mila and Beto went to the screening, they found out that due to the cinemateca's confusing times, the screening was canceled. Their guy in charge of the Media told them that the film will be shown there and that they want to do a lot of promotion.
