Research topic and thesis

For my research topic I will be looking into the affect that the Barbie doll has on young girls. I will be considering its' affect on girls body image and the way Barbie skews reality for the girls that love her. 

Thesis: Barbie has become a household name among young girls but the original purpose of creating such a doll has become shrouded in the problems with self image that Barbie has produced.

  1. Very cool topic! Maybe be a little more specific by listing the ways Barbie produces problems with self image, like "b/c of her inproportional body."

  6. good topic, but do you think they should do away with barbie dolls, or make them more like the average person, or have skinny ones, and bigger ones, short ones, and tall ones?
