Tyra Banks' Ideology

In America's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks attempts to recreate the current image and views toward the world of modeling and employs a strong-independent-woman agenda by showcasing a diverse group of women in each cycle. However, her attempts at being progressive in terms of changing the way models and women, in general, are portrayed and looked at backfire when she reinforces racial and sexual stereotypes in many of the episodes.

This is a REALLY ROUGH DRAFT. LIKE. SANDPAPER. I NEED LOTION ROUGH.

  1. It is kind of awkward how Tyra Banks tries to defy the stereotype while enforcing it at the same time...this is going to be an interesting analysis.
