The deception of beauty

Advertisements are made so that people, potential consumers, will look at them and think to themselves "I want that product so I will look like that person." People look at advertisements and assume what they are seeing is real and obtainable. This ad just goes to show much deception is in advertising and how people kill themselves to look a certain way when in reality that "way" is never going to be possible. This woman does not look the same in the beginning of the ad as she does in the end of the ad. This shows another way of how a person will be tricked by society and advertisements to try to appear a certain way, beautiful.

The Perception of Age

People, mainly women, have always wanted to appear younger, firmer, youthful, etc. Most have been ashamed of their age and would lie when asked. We all know older women like this. The ones that get the face lifts, the breast augmentation, the eye lift, the neck lift, etc, etc. Why be ashamed of your age and your aging body? That is the message of this ad. Be proud of yourself and the body you are in, there is no need to appear younger than you are, just a need to be healthy. Society and advertisements have put a negative view on age and had promoted countless ways to appear younger. But why? Be proud of who you are and who you have become.

The Perception of Beauty

In the United States, and I am sure in other countries around the world, women have a lot of pressure placed upon them to appear beautiful. Sadly, this pressure begins early in the development of young girls. This causes great psychological harm during a very important stage of development of one's self image and personality. During this point in time, probably between the ages of 8-12, young girls begin to feel the pressures of society to appear beautiful by any means necessary; via make-up, clothing, hair styles, fashion accessories, diet pills, surgeries, etc. that are seen in advertisements of large corporations. This video shows exactly what I am talking about.
