Unpretty by TLC- How the media effects us

The media today portrays an extremely unrealistic body image of both woman and men. It is all around us. Women and men all over the world are trying to look like these photoshopped surgery enhanced people in the magazines. Because it is such a normal thing to see, people think it is realistic and normal, but its not. Unpretty by TLC is a very obvious example of how the media effects people. Here are two healthy looking girls who are influenced into thinking that they don't look okay and they have to change the way they look to be accepted by society. This also goes for the boy in the video. He sees pictures of women in the media and he thinks that that is how real women look, and so he tries to have his girlfriend change herself by getting breast enhancement surgery to fit that image. It seems like he doesn't even notice he is doing anything wrong because it has become so normal. At the end of the video both of the girl realize that if it weren't for these influences they would be fine with who they are and how they look already.
