Many women feel pressured to appear a certain way to the public. Advertisements and celebrities are creating an unrealistic beauty standard for the everyday woman.

According to the Dove Evolution commercial, when a person using a product looks “beautiful” and claims it will make the buyer more beautiful, it sells.

However, this trend is not exclusive to women; men feel the pressure of appearances as well.

The Odyssey claims that men suffer from poor self images due to males in the media being portrayed as “overly masculine.”

Everyday women feel like they can’t compete with the “glamorous” women that are on television, and men don’t feel “manly” enough due to a lack bulging muscles and beards.

But these beauty standards are unreal and edited with Photoshop covering the harsh realities of the human form. This is not a natural or attainable type of beauty, and this is a problem that needs to be fixed.

Everyone on this planet has a unique appearance, so why does everyone want to appear the same? Younger and younger people are being affected by these false standards of beauty.

In the documentary “Eight years-old and Anorexic,” these “babies” are starving themselves to be skinny.

Teenagers are getting plastic surgery, trying to erase their heritage by changing their noses, filling their lips, and enhancing every other personal trait that makes them look like them and their family members.

One way to solve this issue in our world is by not buying these products that claim to enhance beauty. It’s not natural, and it’s not right.
