In the world today its not unusual for you to walk outside and see posters, ads in magazines, and commercials with images of what the ideal girl is supposed to look like. Although, most of these ads are meant to be for young women, however they can capture almost any one's attention. They give a false image of an average girls appearance, as far as anyone knows this image could have been fixed to make it look like this was a real persons body. So why is it that every girl when they see a picture like this wants to achieve this look? It is impossible for everyone to make themselves look exactly this way. I think that this image or any image that resembles the perfect body is meant to target the way a person feels about their physical image. Pictures like this can have serious effects on how a person feels about themselves. A person can stop eating, become anorexic, and have serious health problems. So how can a person feel better about themselves if they can't even go less than a mile with out seeing something like this? Maybe advetisers should put up things images that emphasizes the need for people to love the skin they are in like Dove ads do. That would probable motivate people to start treating themselves better and get healthy the right way. Just because images like this are publicized does not mean the world has to be just like them.
