The video about evolution of beauty and the website of re-touched photos showe the reality of the kind of “beauty” society sees in the media. The article The Beguiling Truth About Beauty elaborates a little more about the beauty we see in the public and the beauty we see advertised. An example is given about a short thicker women who works with models. She feels perfectly fine about her looks when she isn’t at work. As soon as she is in the room with all the models she instantly starts to feel less attractive and fat. She likes to call her work enviornment a “fake world.” <\/p>\n
The article that stuck out the most to me was The Truth About Beauty and the youtube video called Evolution of Beauty. Many of the situations in The Truth About Beauty delt with self confidence and the way others make you feel. The study done when a room full of people fully dressed doing math problems was compared to the scores of people in bathing suits doing math problems didn’t really surpise me much. Body image is always in the back of everyone’s mind. I think that people are always asking themselves if this outfit looks good, does it highlight a tiny waist or lean arms\/legs? This relates back the the hot or not concept that is programmed into everyone’s brain.
\nThe Evolultion of Beauty video was shocking. A regular person was transformed into someone completely different. After hair, make-up, and the lighting was set, the face was digitally transformed into what the producers wanted her to look like. If anything, I think this should reassure people that they don’t need to be comparing themselves to pictures of “beautiful” people in magizenes, movies, billboards, etc. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
