When people think of toys for little girls, the stock company that comes to mind is always Barbie. Of course, people will always complain about the negative affect this toy has on women and how the image it portrays is unrealistic and can cause girls to get the idea that this is what they should strive to look like.
And of course, this article may of had more prevalence 10-20 years ago when kids still played with dolls because nowadays it seems that electronics have taken over life to such an extent that kids no longer have enough imagination to be bothered to pick up a toy. Today, kids are no longer enslaved to the use of their imagination. Now, thanks to technology, kids can never think on their own again. From phones which can do more and more with the passing of every day, to laptops, which are becoming even more accessible to everyone, and of course the quality of television programming has only spiked over the years.
Now kids can learn everything they need to know from their old pal T.V. Soon televisions will probably take the places of people that used to be considered authoritative in society such as teachers, parents and the elderly. Anyway, I have digressed.
Barbie’s--- who really cares anymore?
