Today in class, we watched Dove "self esteem" commercials and saw how pictures in magazines or media, the models aren't real. They use photoshop to make these models and celebrities look better to how people expect them to look like. The media makes them look perfect so that we try to change ourselves to look like them too. This is how they get girls to buy their products like makeup by lowering their self esteem by making them feel ugly. These commercials and advertisements with models that are actually fake, lead teenage girls to be unhappy and even have body disorders. I even look at magazines and find really pretty girls and I feel bad about myself. This gets me to buy more makeup, change my hair and even stop eating to look skinnier. These ads are brainwashing people from a young age and if they had more confidence then they wouldn't be affected by media as much.
