One of the first things the author touches upon in the article is that all the images and television advertisements influence us on what we should look like. I feel that the people that make the advertisements are making them to look like what someone would want to see. True, we don’t want to look at some obese person wearing Abercrombie & Fitch clothing but society wants beauty and its everyone’s fault it has come to this.
The second point I think she makes is that in these times anyone can have plastic surgery and its almost normal to have it done. I don’t that’s true, I think that with all the media attention it gets it leads people to believe that its popular. But just because it happens on television shows and actors and actresses doesn’t mean that the entire population is going to the doctor’s office and making appointments for surgery.
In the authors next point she described that many teenage girls are feeling the need to excessively diet. If that is true than how is it that the United States has one of the biggest obesity rates in the world? If all the girls in the U.S. were throwing up to keep the fat off wouldn’t there be more of an uproar about what is going on?
The author determines that for someone to be attractive that you have to have big boobs, a flat stomach, and long thin legs. How then do people fall in love? Because pretty sure about 99% of the girls I see aren’t perfect. If someone has to be perfect to be able to look at them or even talk to them then how does society function?
