To The Extreme

Photoshopping in the media has gone way too far. Media is taking advantage of their audience (young men and women) and making them believe that people in magazines are what normal, healthy, young men and women are suppoed to look like, even when the models on the page don't look like that! Even though photoshopping in the media has it's advantages, like providing jobs, saving money and it also allows and broadens opportunities to be creative, it also has created eating disorders in young men and women who strive to look like a "Barbie doll." Even Barbie is unconventional! If she was a real women, she would be so top heavy that she would not be able to stand up and her hips would be too small she would be unable to produce children. Everyone wants the perfect skin, and a fit body, but in the media industry it seems that healthy won't cut it, and for a while, if you looked like a skeleton, that was beauty. I believe that beauty is when you are confident, and are healthy and happy in your own skin. Everyone is built differently, why would you want everyone to look the same anyways?
