on stages have been intriguing for some men (strip clubs etc.); however Miley was criticized ever so harshly as being trashy, disgusting, an embarrassment etc., there was no use of the word sexy to describe her performance. However, "sexy" sells, and the value of your image is seen as the highest priority for both men and women. Our society places so much worth in appearance; women must be blonde, skinny, tan and men must be strong and tall. Only with these traits will you appeal to society's eye. Unfortunately for Miley, she fell into this trap as did so many other artists in the industry. What Miley did gained her attention, which is exactly what she intended on doing. She booked her world tour weeks following the performance, profited from the #1 Halloween costume and even had an appearance on Saturday Night Live making fun of our government! Our society does not know what sexy is or how to portray it. Instead the only thing we do is objectify our bodies. Young women and men are being exploited as sex objects by popular industries to sell products and services. The only value humans have is the level of enjoyment they provide for others. We let this happen by continuing the support of these artists, models, alcoholic products, car commercials etc. Why stop this behavior when major industries profit, and has even developed into its own industry. We can teach our children and peers that sexy is not the exploitation of human beings as objects and ideas.
