This article, written by Alexandra Sakellariou, examines the positives and negatives of the Kardishians much more in depth than my blog post today will. However, I have used the information in this article to help build my opinion and have this blog post be more informed. 

The first, and perhaps most damaging, negative effect of the Kardashian family on women today us the impossibly unrealistic beauty standards they set. These women are undoubtedly gorgeous, even not taking into account all of the money they have spent on their bodies. Additionally, they are at the proverbial “top” of society, meaning that women everywhere constantly encounter them, whether it be on social media, television, or magazines.

This is where the real damage comes in for women looking up to the Kardashians. No matter who you are, it is highly likely that if you look at any of the Kardashians, you will feel inferior about your own body. When you constantly have to look at these goddesses of women, you will inevitably compare your body against them and feel upset.

The thing that the Kardashians do not show in their TV show or anything else, though, is the amount of money as well as effort that goes in to making them look the way the do. Furthermore, most of the work on their looks isn’t even done by themselves, its actually done by paid professionals. When you take into consideration all of these aspects, it is essentially impossible for a typical woman to try and look to the Kardashians.

Now, as I wrap this up, I do just want to clarify that I believe that the Kardashains have had some positive effects on women in society today. Primarily, I think that the Kardashians have demonstrated great examples of power and independence for women everywhere to admire. Thus, they have not done only damage do women, they have also helped. Either way, it is harmful for women to constantly have to look up to the Kardashian family in regards to beauty standards.
