Beauty Standards Put Out By The Media Then Enforced By The Public

List the physical characteristics that we have come to admire in both the male and female face and write 100 words in response to the following questions:

1. Do you believe that media images or public opinion are responsible for the characteristics of beauty becoming universal stereotypes.
I believe the images the media puts out into the public are responsible for the characteristics of beauty  becoming universal stereotypes. Not only the media is responsible for what the world sees as beautiful, the people's minds are routinely being fed images the the media labels as true beauty and overtime they actually begin to believe what the media puts out is what real beauty is and then shun and mistreat others who don't fit into societies standards. Therefore, both the media and public opinion are both responsible for universal beauty stereotypes.

2. Do you believe people admiring media images of glamorous models can do any harm?
I do not believe that people admiring images of glamorous models the media puts out can do harm to a certain extent. When people start seeing these "glamorous" models and begin to change themselves into something the public sees as "glamorous" it then becomes a problem. Often people become depressed because they start to believe they are ugly just because they don't look how the models look in magazines.
