The Beauty Generation: Why Consumerism Will Ruin Us All
Beauty standards: they are plastered everywhere. The idealistic view of how people should be is constantly shoved down our throats by all means of media, online and offline. Magazines are ridiculously air-brushed, public figures are never seen in public without professional hair and makeup done, social media is an on-going competition, and the fashion industry's perception of body image is hideously distorted. Women must have disproportionate bodies that are physically impossible to obtain, and men must have six packs and walk around looking as if they had just been dipped in a tub of butter at all times. Thus, allowing pretty much everyone on the planet to A) Hate themselves or B) Question why they cannot achieve these ridiculous standards, so how do people wanting to make money capitalize on this? By using their products to target these people and their insecurities.
