Body image (final version)

We are in a society based on physical appearance. We all follow a model of beauty with the desire to have a perfect body and a pretty face.

In my opinion the biggest culprit of this is the media. The media have a great influence on people, we want to be like the big musician stars, supermodels, ... In this way we get into our head a false ideal of beauty creating complexes, loss of self-esteem and self confidence.We become machines managed by media buying everything offered to us to get that beauty that the media presents and we so desire.

In conclution, we have to learn to love who we are and how we are, prevent the media influence our lives and ultimately not allow anything or anyone to tell us how we have to be. If not, we will never be happy.

LIFE WITHOUT A PERFECT BODY. FINALVERSION.

Nowadays, a lot of slimming products, beauty treatments, surgical procedures for a better physical image are advertised.

It seems to me that this kind of advertisments should be banned at children's wathershed hours because it can affect their mind. Therefore, teenagers could fall in the mislead of their body appearance, such as a perfect one.
They might be encouraged to take slimming products, girls have a bosom plastic surgery intervention, to increase the shape of their lips could be appealing.It may be a huge problem for their health in the future.

I don't feel affected by it, because I feel very self confident and well in my body. On the other hand, the education I have received from my parents, has not let me fall in this way of life.

In conclusion, in spite of the many benefits announced by the media, I strongly believe that they go too far.
