Barbie Literacy Questions 1 5
1. Barbie went from a simple idea to a huge franchise where it had an impact on little kids
lives. I didnt know that there was a even a background story on it. It basically went from
a small expensive doll to multiple expensive dolls to the point where there are different
races of it.
2. The factors I think that account for these changes in our historical events that affected our
society and changes in culture over the decades in the United States.
3. The dolls are ascetically pleasing to the human eye because we are hardwired to look at
attractive things. The Barbie dolls has that ideal that everyone wants, but the dolls are
exaggerated in human features.
4. There wasnt a huge impact on my life, but I noticed how my cousin was affected by it.
She used to love the Barbie franchise because she had different fantasies every time.
5. Theres a strong dislike because its changing the way the youth thinks and its making
humans more shallow, setting higher standards of beauty.
