America’s True Image
American society is obsessed with image it is very judged country. Most of the people care about how they look from the outside than the inside. This means that they care about the looks than their own personality. Most of America thinks that being Mr./Ms. Pretty face and skinny bone Jones is a good thing. To get through life you don’t exactly have to be pretty and perfect. I mean look at everyday people they are usually very smart and know how to do allot. They could live of by themselves and know how to get around without having a pretty face and coke bottle body.
Most of Americas image is fake cause it’s mostly made of off plastic surgery. You might look pretty from the outside but you know that your real beauty comes from the inside and that your outside is “fixed”. Some people are not satisfied on the way they look so therefore everything the “are to everyone else” is fake. Like for example they get a nose job, implants, or bleaching your skin if you don’t like your dark skin tone and you could do much more. What if you don’t have the money to do this? That’s simple to answer people usually buy make up to show the beauty in front all their “ugliness”. The thing people mostly care about the way they look are mostly people with low self –esteems , or just plain shallow personalities .
They exaggerate about themselves. Like if a teen feels fat she thinks that she should loose weight by not eating. This is a very big case in America because this could either lead to leukemia, anorexia, or bulimic. A lot of teenage girls wear to much make up this causes there skin to be damaged and once they hit their twenties they can’t be without makeup cause they look ugly.
Celebrities care more about their body image than regular people. Celebrities care allot of their body image because they always have to be perfect in everything and all there clothing has to fit well. The celebrities do allot sacrifices for them to look good and fit, so they start going on diets and work out allot to have a perfect body. Celebrities have a strict diet like no fats, oils, and sweets and they have to drink allot of water and do allot of exercise. They always care about themselves and their body but never about other people. They mostly care about their body image when they are taking pictures of themselves. This leads the people to try to look like their favorite actor\model when mainly the people that we try to look like are usually photographically altered to make them look perfect.
Celebrities think that if their pretty in every way and especially of their body image that America likes them only because of that, no America doesn’t like them just because of their image they like them because their personality in movies and because their unique in every way. Celebrities don’t have to be perfect at all to be pretty and have a cute body they only have to be themselves. Body image shouldn’t matter in life at all, only if you are perfect in everything, but no one is perfect at all. So most of America is obsessed about their body image.
You should accept the way you look and learn how to love yourself for who you are. The person that thinks your pretty is the person that loves you for who you are like in the book Cyrano de Bergerac I am making a reference to the part in which Cyrano realizes that Roxane fell in love with his letters rather than Christian’s looks. So next time you see someone have a lot of makeup or plastic surgery remember that they aren’t secure of themselves and care more about how they look from the outside then the in.
