In today's society it is becoming more acceptable to be thin. Young girls are constantly being exposed to magazine articles and television ads about how to have the perfect body. This is leading to more and more young girls developing eating disorders and trying to constantly exercise. These marketing ads play such an influential role on young girls of how they are supposed to look. These ads are merely to draw more customers in to buying their products. Marketing plays such an influential role in society about what is socially acceptable and normal for women today. If one does not fit the stereotype they are most likely driven to meet it.
