EDITOR’S NOTE Team 12 of JRN 108 is pleased to present this special edition issue of our “magazine”, DISTORTION. This magazine consists of various articles about how unrealistic expectations and stereotypes have failed the modern woman. Although we as a group focused mainly on magazines, video games and movies, there are so many other forms that we did not touch on that contribute just as much to the issue at hand. As team captain, I am proud to say that we worked tirelessly and diligently to produce this work. We hope we were able to help our readers understand how pertinent and real of an issue this is and encourage both women and men to look beyond the pictures. As the alluring Audrey Hepburn once said, “for beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” Everyone must come to the realization that we are all beautiful in our own ways.
