Well being ethnically lebanese I was born with a big nose.
With things like 'bratz' (which don't even HAVE noses) and other things, I think it's teaching young girls that they aren't pretty unless they get a nose job. What are ya'lls views on this? |

About the Bratz doll thing.. Well I mean, it's just in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? Anyway, I'd have to say that okay it is promoting that girls should "look a certain way" in order to fit in. I wouldn't exactly direct it ONLY to noses, rather, I'd have it directed towards the whole figure, as well. Dolls in general, as well as models, actresses, singers, etc. often appear to have the perfect body (to girls). To be thin, tall, having a certain chest size, clear skin, perfect tan, perfect hair, perfect facial aspects, etc. are often what many people think about, not just girls. I'd have to say that the dolls pose a definitely potential of influencing girls to believe this, but keep in mind that girls who collect these dolls might collect them because they are cute, it's fun to collect them, or just like to play with them...
