Way of Seeing, by John Berger and Susan Bordo’s Beauty (Re)discover The Male Body

People tend to look at images based on society. It tends to interpret the image with these assumptions, not on their premise. Susan Bordo and John Burger wrote an argument about how the view of the image interprets the image. In addition, these discussions are combined to show that social plants enter our mind when we look at the pictures. Both Susan Bordo and John Berger show that this is the reason for perceiving the image in some way based on the premise.

Since I've found Susan Bordo's "beautiful (man) body", I feel that men have changed as they accept that they care about their appearance. Mr. Bordo argues that men can see pictures of women for a long time, but women can see new photographs of men. She talked about a man who is tabooing a nude picture with a picture. Men are not just to see other men without clothes. I now believe it is more acceptable than Bordeaux 's thesis. I believe this is for the gay community that is more accepted in today's society, but it may be because men may be used to it. Of course, some pictures are still unpleasant. For men between heterosexuals, it is not unusual to see photos of another male sexually portrayed, but I guess this will change over time. I think confidence is the key to progress.

Foucault's paper "Panorama" is far superior to the work of John Burger and Susan Bordo I read. I believe that not only is his paper better, but also effective and superior to Volko and Berger's thesis. For example, all articles talk about force in some way. However, the way Bordeaux and Berger wrote about power are completely different from Foucault's way of talking about power and can not be trusted so much. In Berger's article, we are talking about how people view objects. Also, by seeing this object in our own way, we have changed the object to some extent. I do not think it is very powerful. In Bordo's article, she talks about how we have power as a society because she influences advertising space. But, in this case, do we have the power and advertising field that will influence us in order to actually purchase goods? But the converse is also true.
