Self Image 2

Find images in the media, which have been used to represent attractive and unattractive aspects of the human face. Examine and record carefully the photographic techniques used to accentuate both these qualities, drawing up a list that relates to the images you have found.

  1. Do you believe that media images or public opinion are responsible for the characteristics of beauty becoming universal stereotypes?
    In this photo we see two images, one of a natural human and another with a person after they have been"fixed". I feel and see that a lot of times in the media we see people who are "wrong" or "not pretty" and they try to use photoshop to make them seem like all of the other post processed people in the world. I personally don't like this because if you have a person who is beautiful because of who they are why would you want to change them.
  2. Do you believe people admiring media images of glamorous models can do any harm?
    The media is greatly hurting the way that young members of our society feel about themselves and i don't think that is right. Personally she looks better the way she naturally is. This message is generally hard to reach our youth and it leads to serious health problems. It is very upsetting to know that our media is hurting our society.
