The mass media can be considered one of the most influential promotion and advertisement tools in the modern world. An every person interacts with a number of mass media channels every day without even recognizing it. Moreover, due to such a significance of the mentioned tool, people unconsciously are affected by it. For example, 47% of Americans have stated Facebook have an influence on their purchase decisions (Baer, J., n.d.), making advertising through Facebook a good decision for the companies.

Therefore, researching the particular issue is especially important in order to educate the growing generation of the planet that physical appearance should not be the main factor based on which women...

The research study conducted by Davis (2018) of “Objectification, sexualization, and misrepresentation: Social media and the college experience” presents the case study of two Instagram profiles that target college-ages individuals with the purpose of identifying how females are presented there. The research results have revealed that women were frequently objectified and sexually presented on both Four Year Party and College Nationwide Instagram accounts, as the majority of the posts tend to emphasize the attractiveness of a certain girl or several of them. Another finding of the research study was that women were frequently portrayed as submissive to men on both Instagram profiles, as there were several posts of “young men biting young women’s breasts and slapping their buttocks” (p. 5), which can be perceived as not women being submissive but also as a violence against women promotion. Consequently, based on such aspects it can be stated that both objectification and sexualizati...
