I believe that now a days people or should I say much less girls in this cruel world that we live in try and attempt or wish to be many different things that they are not. In the Dove Revolution you tube video that we were told to watch the people in the video were making over a girl what was meant to look like how girls should appear in today’s world. First they made her over did her hair and make up and made her look all pretty, so we thought, than after taking the photo o the young lady they pulled it up on the computer and started making many of changes. Changes as in making her neck taller making, her eye brows higher and just many more little things like that. When photographers make over your picture after they have already made over you in real life yes the pictures may look pretty but it is giving girls a view of them selves saying that they are not pretty enough to be just made over and snap a picture but also that they have to make the picture over so it looks even better. In an article called Health & Fitness: Snip, Suction, Stress, and Truss they first talk about Cosmetic Surgery. As the article says “A nip here, a tuck there, and the face you have at 40 is no longer the face you deserve but the face you can afford. In the past five years, thanks to new surgical wizardry, media hype and the laws of gravity exerting their inevitable effect on baby boomers, cosmetic surgery has soared in popularity. Last year some half a million Americans were snipped, suctioned, stretched and trussed, compared with 300,000 in 1981. Once the province of aging screen stars and wealthy matrons, cosmetic surgery now attracts middle-class office workers, many in their 30s and 40s, and many of them men. Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon Richard Grossman describes the phenomenon as "another transition" for the restless Me generation: "They protested against the wars, and now they're protesting against the mirrors.” The article is saying that not only girls but guys are now worrying about how they look or how people see them. It is not a safe environment to always be in having a snip here a tuck there. People need to realize that you are who you are. A snip here and a tuck there can be taken care of many other different ways. Exercise more, eat better. Its all up to you on what you choose to do with your body.
