As we finish the section on marketing and advertising in relations to children, we have learned that toys have a powerful influence on values, morals, and behavior. I came across this video as part of the Buzzfeed article titled "This 'Normal Barbie' Comes with cellulite, stretch marks, acne, and tattoos," where it discussed the positive effects of playing with a barbie who has healthy human proportions. This Barbie comes with stickers of bruises, tattoos, cellulite, stretch marks all the things that happen throughout adolescence. This video is extremely refreshing. These are the sort of changes that the toy industry has to make to reinforce a healthier perception of body image for the future generation. Children are experiencing body image issues at an younger age, which only manipulates the development of a child.
