Perception of Beauty

The Perception Of Beauty in society is distorted.

VERY distorted.

What does beauty mean?

What is beauty?

It's certainly not what you see on TV... 

Real Beauty? 

You know those supermodels you see on big adverts?

This is how they are created!

Played in fast motion, this short video needs to be seen by all people.

Why I think it matters 

The problem is that every single day people (especially young people) are looking at fake images of "beautiful" people and adverts for "beauty products" as they try to figure out for themselves what they're worth, who they are, and who they want to be.

False perceptions of beauty and attractiveness are very bad as the images flashed before us all every day are unattainable, unreal, and non-existent.

It's about self-esteem. Feeling that you don't fit society's expectations of what beauty is.

This is not good.

Why do the film makers think it matters?

"Low self-esteem is an issue that
affects all women regardless of age or
ethnicity. It can lead to introversion,
a withdrawal from normal life and a
waste of potential. At Dove, we believe
that it is time to stop this waste by
developing a more inclusive definition
of beauty."


Dove (at campaignforrealbeauty.com) have started a website you should get involved with. Go and read some of the articles. Take a moment.

Have some fun.
