Week 7 Assignment

Well, first i want to say that i was awed at how a make-over and computer technology can make a regular women into a beauty. And the final result looks real, but actually its distorted, just like the statement it said in the video. But i don't really think that this video change my views on women in the media. But this video did make me think differently on what we see in the media and what reality is. I had no idea that some beauty industries use a technology to make a women look even more beautiful. I guess, the more beautiful, the more money you get, because these beauty industry goals are to make money, and they will find some ways of getting it. I didn't know the media can distort my perception of a beauty. Even though they made a normal girl look like a beauty girl, its not really showing your "true" beauty because of the computer tech worked on it. If it comes down to computer tech to make a women look pretty, its kind of like the "Unattainable Beauty" that was in the article.even in paragraph 6 its says that "media images of female beauty are unattainable for almost all women, except a very small number of women". Since the media used computer tech to make a women look beauty, that beauty will be unattainable to the women, cause of the distortion caused.

I believe that this commercial was set out with one goal in mind. To set out and to change the percpetion of women we see in the media. Its out to find those "true" beauties.

I believe that true beauty doesnt exist. Every individual has their share of a natural beauty, if a person really wanted to they can turn themselves into exactly the shape, figure, and features of per say Jennifer Lopez. No matter how beautiful they may appear on the outside.......its not them naturally. Its fake. Their life becomes a lie. Natural Beauty is the only truth and reality.
