Which Story? So many Choices! That one? hmmm or maybe that one instead!

So far in class we have read six articles; including Ten Seconds to Love By: Chuck Klosterman;  Only Two Percent of Women Describe Themselves As Beautiful By: Dove, Strategy One, Nancy Etcoff, and Susie Orbach; Why Don’t We Like the Human Body? By: Barbara Ehreneich; Decoding Victoria’s Secret: The Marketing of Sexual Beauty and Ambivalence By: Marie D. Smith; Porn By: Chuck Klosterman and The Simpsons: A Reflection of Society and a Message on Family By: Eric Garrison.

 Out of these six article the one that I found the most interesting was the article by: Dove, Strategy One, Nancy Etcoff and Susie Orbach entitled, Only Two Percent of Women Describe Themselves as Beautiful; it talks about the shallow global definition of beautify that our society has and how it affects women and the way they think, feel and look at themselves in the aspect of beauty.

 I believe that I took this article a little more personally because I am a girl, and I know how I feel about society’s view of beauty and how narrow and unrealistic that view is. I think this article is important, because it shows that a vast majority of women all over the world feel the same way about it and as people read this article they can see that we need to push past the unrealistic, shallow view of beauty and show the world that beauty is more than skin deep, beauty also comes from within, our happiness, our love and all our little strength that each and every one of us possess are all attributes that truly make a person beautiful.  Beauty comes is any, shape, color size and everyone has flaws, yet those are the things that make us beautiful.
