Body & Beauty Standards

With the bombing of the image of ideal beauty every day, it is easy to forget that the standard of beauty is arbitrary.

This change in beauty's ideals often reflects the role that women and men should play in a particular society. For example, in the case of women who mainly respect the birth rate - the ability to endure children and the ability to nurture - a full-bodied woman with a wide ass and a full breast is considered the most beautiful. In a society like Fiji, the big institution is a symbol of a person's position and power. Therefore it is not surprising that people classified as obese in the United States are considered the most attractive and desirable members of this culture.

However, as social conditions and the role of gender change, perception of beauty changes. Let's think about recent American changes. From the 1960's to the 1970's, the beautiful woman's ideal changed from a mature curved body like Marilyn Monroe to a thin flat body represented by a supermodel like Twiggy or Kate Moss. The convincing fact here is that as the women have made significant progress in education, employment and politics, the ideal women's body began to look like a malnourished adolescent girl, weak, thin, threat There is no thing. Women may have freedom and power, but it is increasingly encouraged to train the body through diet and exercise to meet the ideal where achievement is almost impossible.

Why are American women very thin today? Why is the body ideal for such large and muscular men?

At the same time, the girl's body is changing dramatically surrounded by unrealistic beauty and physical standards set by social media and society. Then these young girls will change themselves by stretching their hair and always arranging and changing eating habits to meet the standards. Adapting to the pressure of images set by society and by the idealization of men will lead to destructive behavior such as low self-esteem, eating disorders, school problems, and cutting or drug or alcohol abuse

Today, the standard of beauty is very high, easy access to images of celebrities with the perfect body on social media platform only raises this standard. According to the 2010 survey by the US Girl Scouts, 88% of young girls believe that the media is putting more pressure on them, 65% believe that the body image of the media fashion industry is too thin . The media increases the likelihood of a bad image of a young girl's body, which only leads to physical frustration, inferiority complex and eating disorders.

For decades, the whole culture is bound to be bound by narcissism women should see. These unattainable beauty criteria widely spread throughout the media and had a great impact on the image of women and their bodies. Popular alternative media of all forms bombards women with images depicting the ideal body and shows the social standard of the beauty of women. For most women, this beauty standard is almost completely far apart. I have seen most celebrities and models
