Laquasha Nettles English 101 Prof. Manley December 8, 2016 “Beautiful Me” We live in a society where the media control us by using television, the Internet, radio, magazines, and even celebrities to shaped our views on what is considered beautiful. By creating advertisements with unrealistic images of beauty and use of plastic surgery, cosmetics, photoshop, and name brand items the media purposely targets our youth. Selling its idealisms to teenagers and young adults who struggle with low self-esteem, low self- confidence, and depression thus taking advantage of his or her weakness as a sole purpose to increase profits. The media is constantly sending us conveying messages that if you don’t have this and don’t look like this or act like that no one will accept you. The media trying to normalize reprehensible standards and have us aiming for fanciful perfection. Not all of us look like Barbie or Ken, not all of us live in a big mansion or drive an expensive car (although I would like to), and not all of us live in luxury like others who has that opportunity.
