Media presents the woman as an object that sells and buys everything that the consumption society shows, and it promotes topics like love, happiness, comfort and home, etc. In men’s case the topics are: aggression, adventure, death, violence etc. Besides, people always watch on television images of beautiful, thin, strong and popular people, in other words perfect people without troubles; as a result of that, people are trying to be like them.
