Photoshop

I liked our lecture in class about photoshopping in the media. Too many young teenagers compare themselves to what they see in magazines and/or advertisements. I believe that the thin ideal is very prevalent among the media today and is truly influencing how young adults view themselves. Photoshopping is just giving viewers a false view of beauty and I would be curious to see what would happen to magazines and advertisements if photo-shopping became illegal. I found this video online about real women being photoshopped and their reaction to it. I love how they realized that their flaws, if you can even call them flaws, define who they are.
