Media influence

As a woman, anywhere you go you are constantly being judged on the way that you look. Also, everywhere you look whether it's a magazine, an ad in a store, or even watching television in your own home, you'll see the way the media depicts women. However, these images may not always be accurate. The media always shows women that are as close as perfect gets. I'm talking perfect hair, perfect eyes, a perfect nose, perfect skin, perfect bone structure, ect. These images may be appealing to the eye, but they are not always accurate of what women actually look like. Photos and television images are constantly being altered and edited to look a certain way to fool viewers. Although advertisers and magazines are not trying to necessarily hurt anyone, when young women see these images, it is poisoning to their minds, because they think this is the way they need to look.
