Media and Self-Esteem
 |
| Taken from Google |
People are portrayed like this in the media because the media thinks being perfect is having that skinny body, or flawless face. The media has a big influence on people; the media tries to manipulate you, telling you to look like this. With the big influence on the media, they try to sell out products to people. I am affected by the images and videos I see because I have the power to either follow the media for follow who I am. When posting pictures, I can edit the photo and make me "perfect" or post it untouched. To reduce the amount of young men and women negatively affected by these images is by making images and posting them. For example you can post an image, with a photo saying "You are perfect the way you are" or "God has given you a gift" etc. to positively affect young men and women. I can't imagine a magazine where the person in front does not have make-up or is half dressed. I know it is right to have magazines where people are themselves; it could be a possible route that society should take.
Magazines should take your possible route so that young men and women will have more self-esteem.

You brought up some interesting points. I just wish you wrote how it affects you emotionally... like, if it makes you frustrated, if it makes you upset, etc. I suppose I wanted you to get a little more personal in this post.
ReplyDeletei like how this post was simple and sweet, and i think you're perfect just the way you are
ReplyDeletePeople really do need to know that the media has a way of fooling people today into thinking that they could look like the people in the photoshopped images that are made by the producers of a product if they would by the product. Good post Jeremy.
