DOVE ADVERTISEMENT

Due to rapid development of technology and misused of media’s persuading power through its advertisements or endorsements, the essence and quality of the real beauty is distorted. And seemingly everything is edited. Because of media, people became more conscious with their physical appearance that leads in using different whitening or tanning solution, drugs for a sexier figure, everything that could make people physically sexy and attractive. Even photos can now be edited through Photoshops. A subject’s face with dark spots or pimples can now be perfectly flawless, a fat person can now be sexy and an unattractive person can now be attractive. Nevertheless, media can also change the mind set of everybody. If you’re not sexy, fashionable, flawless and attractive you’re not in, you’re an outcast which I find it very ironic with my personal experience. I’m not that tall, I’m having a dark complexion, I’m not that pretty, I’m not really particular with beauty products, I just used face powder and I’m not that fashionable but I am  well-accepted by everyone. In fact they would love to see me with natural and simple look. Therefore, media has the power to distort the real beauty but it is our choice if we will allow that distortion happen.
