My article is about the new diversity in barbie dolls. In the past when you would walk down the barbie doll asile it only had caucasian barbies. A typical looking American girl with blonde hair and tall. Although she was way to skinny. In the past september they have come out with African American dolls. simalar to the caucasion barbies dolls except for the skin color and hair color. The African American dolls have fuller lips, a wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones. They have three main African American dolls; Grace, Kara, and Trichelle. An African American woman that lives in Denver, CO. said that when she was younger there were no dolls that looked like her and that there were only the caucasian dolls. She thinks that it's great for kids to see this now, because the race differences will make a difference in the kids future. And since we have an African American president that's even better. They believe this being the first diversity in toys for children and it is most influential for them.
This is timeliness news because it has happened in the past few weeks. It will also have an Impact because it will affect a large amount of people. Oddity can be referred back to this because it is unique and it is also Progress news because it is new improvement for diversity. There is now diversity in Barbie Dolls for kids so the can learn at a young age that skin color doesnt matter. It's going to affect children and parents of all races. There are kids all over the USA and their are tons of people of different races, so it will effect almost everyone in america that have kids. This is an important event because it shows physically that races and colors of skin are something to judge people by and that will give kids clearity in the minds that you can't judge others because of that. It shows kids that diversity is a good thing.
I think that this is a great way of showing diversity to children and that it will work out well for the future. I'm sure if they had started this back along time ago then the world now would not have a problem with diversity. Also now that we have an African American president that shows that diversity is physically changing. As long as this is continued in the future then I think diversity will just be a problem in the past.
