Icon Analysis

 

The three icons that I choose were the TV show Secrete Life of an American Teenager, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, and the Barbie doll. I choose these three icons because I felt that I can relate to these icons in certain ways. The Secret Life of an American Teenager is a popular TV show that has been on for several years now. I feel that this show does portray what a lot of teenagers are going through anymore. Over the last several years there have been more and more teenagers in high school getting pregnant. This has also happened several times in my family and in some of my friend’s families. I felt that not only is this a popular TV show but also something that a lot of American families can relate to.  



I also felt that Jennifer Lopez was a great icon for females of all ages because she does so much. She came from a poor Porto Rican family and then embraced her heritage and became a famous singer actress and producer. She does all this while also being a single mother. and also does so much for others. Currently she has produced a new TV show called the Fosters.

 

I choose the Barbie doll because it was something that was a popular icon when I was younger for young girls and is still an icon for young girls now. It is also something that in some aspects has stayed the same but has also changed with the changing society with the way the Barbie dolls look and dress. Over the years there have also been controversies over the way the Barbie dolls look, but they continue to have the same meaning to young girls all over America.
