The Barbie Controversy
It is interesting that a small, blond, blue-eyed, plastic doll could cause an uproar.
Barbie has succeeded (intentionally or not) in inciting heated opinion on whether she
is fit to be the image of the perfect woman for millions of impressionable young girls.
Some people have stated that Barbie’s proportions are humanly impossible, with her
exaggerated bustline and minuscule waist. They claim that these impossible
proportions could lead girls to develop a poor body image. Barbie doll defenders
state that Barbie is a part of most girls’ lives while they are growing up. Is Barbie bad?
Does she have the power to affect girls psychologically all over the country or
perhaps the world?
I am interested in the Barbie controversy because, like many girls growing up in
America, I was obsessed with Barbie when I was a child. Now, as a college student,
I am very interested in female icons and their role in self-image development. I also
have to fight the voices in my head telling me that I am too short and too fat, and I am
not sure exactly where these voices have come from.
I know that the Barbie doll product is pervasive in American society. I have never
met a woman or girl who has not played with at least one Barbie. Barbie’s image has
appeared in McDonald’s Happy Meals, in computer programs, on her own clothing
line, on school supplies, and in every major American store with a toy section.
I need to do more research on the validity of the claim that Barbie affects girls’
self-images either detrimentally or positively. I would like to explore the pervasiveness
of Barbie internationally and compare the domestic sales figures to the international
sales figures. If Barbie proves to be a detriment to girls’ self-images, I would like to
seek out some proposed solutions and discuss their feasibility.
