How Do Beauty Standards Affect Society?
Beauty standards have existed for many centuries. The saddest part is that instead of seeing a decline in them with each passing year, beauty standards keep increasing, or at least, get revised. Even though the conditions may change from time to time, the essence stays put: to make money off men’s and women’s insecurities., but for starters, here are some that are noticeably affecting the minds of our society.
They dream of the same body, a similar feature, or perfect looking skin. What they tend to forget is that the celebrity’s perfection is probably curated – maybe through a generous helping of makeup, photo retouching, or surgery. No one is perfect – if they seem to be, then there is more to it than meets the eye.Continuing the point above, the obsession to look the way a celebrity or an influencer looks may lead to recklessness.
We may be perfectly fine and at peace with the way we look, but the world keeps reminding us of our shortcomings. It feeds us lies about how much better we would’ve looked or felt if certain parts of us were not the way they naturally are. All of it takes a toll on our mental well-being – making us anxious about our appearance, and depressed due to our so-called flaws. It makes us hate ourselves at times. All of which sucks.The perfect appearance is a rare commodity that is naturally gifted to some or artificially curated by others. We cannot view it as the norm, because not only is it utterly unfair, it is also unachievable. The media will never make us feel complete and beautiful in our natural state, only we can.
