She lived in her dream residence with swimming pool, convertible and lovely things. She also had a boyfriend named Ken. She was non a girl coming from this song tho a maam who was created in 1959 by Mattel. Until now she is over 50 years-old nevertheless her beauty and her lifestyle are unceasingly the dream of children. She does not look like the fashionable trends which will be old-fashionable after a short period. Her influences to children never decline.Barbie is not lone(prenominal) a tensile hoot that give the gatenot talk and interact but also a friend who finds an inspire section in their life. In my experience with playing and leting Barbies, Barbie has had nothing but the fun and positive stupors on my life. First of all, the most positive impact of Barbie is the meaningful messages w hich she brings to us through her story. Barbie is famous with her dream house, convertible, beautiful outfits, meretricious jewelries and expensive shoes. She owns the luxurious things which she acquires them all by herself from being a life story woman.She is a symbol of a successful woman by working(a) in a wide range of jobs much(prenominal) as a dentist, a instructor, a police, a chef, a baby-sitter, a fire-fighter, an artist and so on.

She al agencys appears in the most beautiful outfits with different styles and she will be the slightlybody who updates the newest fashionable trends of famous brands. She has a boyfriend but she does not symbiotic on his bank account.She is depicted as an independent girl who does not rely on a man to take care or support for her. By her own way, Barbie becomes an ideal model of women, a human lib eral idol who many children want to become. They all want a Barbie to play with and to be like her because of her meaningful message that Barbie can be anything she wants and so do they. Besides that, there are countless valuable messages she brings to children such as being feminine, living independent from man, doing anything you want, working any kind of jobs which you like, achieving your dreams by putting your heart and mind into it, being fashionable hrough her specific and unique lifestyle.Secondly, Barbie helps children develop their creation. Owning a Barbie doll is not a childlike work. When we buy a Barbie, she just looks like the other Barbie dolls with homogeneous faces, same body shapes, same outfits or even same colors of tomentum. even children kick in their freedom to make her become different. Whether she will become a unique doll depends on childrens hands and minds. If they want Barbie to be different, they have to figure out and act. It is the way Barbie m otivates childrens minds in imaginative acts.Holding Barbie in their hand, they can start to change the appearance of Barbie by typing her hair up with rubber brands, make braids or change Barbie hair lengths by cutting shorter too. Besides that, they can also try to replace the slew of her outfits by the other one. It is not compulsory that Barbie has to wear this T-shirt with his trouser. kildren can combine the t-shirt with a vast skirt and create a new style. Moreover they can modify the length of her dresses as they efficacy like or they can even try to sew a new dress or a T-shirt for her.The ideas to imagine the setting which Barbie belongs to is not a bad ideas. For example, Barbie who wears a gorgeous dress may attend in a prom dispely. Not just that, collect to her flexible body children can modify the position of her arms, bend her legs or sink her head like she is greeting someone for their ideas. Barbie makeovers are not only fun, but also creative. It step by s tep helps children coming into court their own style. Barbie successfully shows her power in promoting the childrens imagination and creation. Moreover Barbie is a friend who inspires children to show their own identity.Playing with their Barbie, children have a chance to show their dream, their lifestyle and their personalities. The children would like to spend many hours to take part in a role play that Barbie is the main character. The context is one of the necessary elements in their imaginative play. Nothing is scripted in their imagination it includes childrens pretended role play. In their play, Barbie will be a pondering image of children. For example, if the child considers Barbie as a teacher, she may create a play that Barbie goes to the school and works at 7 a. m. At 5 p. m, she comes concealment her d healthfuling house and plays with her children.Then there are some conservation between Barbie and her children In this case, perhaps the child has a dream to be a good teacher in afterlife. She also thinks round her future as a kind mother with a lot of children virtually her. Besides that, the child shows her meter for Barbie going to work and coming hold up home means that she is very good at managing her time. However the role of Barbie in these plays is not fixed. Children usually change Barbies careers and extend the plots as well up as the conservation to illustrate their family life, imagine adolescent life and exciting events.Barbie will be the copy of children which helps them show their dreams, their personalities and their real life. Since I was 12 years old, Barbie was always appeared in my wish lists. That was the time when I came to my friends house and saw her doll. Her Barbies beauty going along with her beautiful outfits and accessorizes makes me fall in love with her. However it was not easy to own a Barbie doll due to its price and its market distribution. I remember at that time it is very difficult to find the orig inal Barbie in Vietnam. The only way to own a Barbie doll at that time was you had to buy in America and send back.My dream only came true when my uncle came back to Vietnam in 2009. He brought a Barbie doll as a gift for me. Although it was not a right time for me to play Barbie due to my busy document and my age, I still felt very happy when owning such a beautiful doll. Every weekend, I have to go to Ho Chi Minh City and I take a bus to come back my hometown. When I leave, my younger sister usually stays at home alone. As the result, Barbie became my younger sisters friend whom she could spend for hours to play with. One mean solar day when I came home from Ho Chi Minh City, my sister asked me to design some clothes for Barbie.I accepted her request because I thought this was a good chance to me for practicing my sewing skills. We came to some tailor shops asking for scarps of stuff together. Then we tried to sew the simplest outfit for Barbie without pickings her measurements or sketching out her outfit including a strapless shirt and a mini skirt. Although they were not authentically excellent, it was an unexpected success and it made us feel really satisfied for our efforts. By sewing the outfit for Barbie, we together stimulate our creation. Not just that, she also enjoyed changing Barbies appearance for example the hair.Thanks to the long and straight hair, my sister created many different hairstyles as far as she could imagine. Sometimes Barbie becomes a charming girl with the small lovely braids, another(prenominal) time she turned into an active girl with the basic horse-tail style. Besides that as far as I know, she also had a schedule for taking care of Barbie. She usually changed Barbies hair and her outfits every day and cleaned the dirt in Barbie every weekend. Taking care of Barbie shows how thoughtful and careful she was. Barbie somehow helps me piss my sisters identity. Sometimes when I came home and saw my younger sister was talk of t he town to Barbie.She often played a role as a teacher and Barbie was her student. She had her own classroom map which included the position of her friends and Barbie in class. She taught Barbie the subjects she examine such as Math, Literature or Music. Thanks to the plays she performed together with Barbie I realize many potential capabilities of my younger sister as well as her identity and her thoughts. While many people today only pay attention to Barbies unreal body shape and argue about her negative influences she may bring to children due to her story and her lifestyles, they seem to blank out her positive impacts.In my opinion, instead of complaining about Barbie and her body measurements, we should reward the facts that Barbie helps life of children become more beautiful and lively. By the time when children receive up, Barbie will help them figure out their career, their characteristics and their lifestyle. She is not a plastic doll who was named Barbie but a bridge a nd an instructor guiding children to their future. What a wonderfully full and imaginative world we enjoy with Barbie
