Free Reflection 2 - Media-beauty reflection

             Media effects the concept of beauty considerably. Because media defines

what beauty is or not in the world. We see beautiful models, actresses, singers etc.

everyday. They are gorgeous, desirable, fit and flawless. But in real all of ordinary

people don't look like them. They can be in different sizes, looks and colours, they

can be fatter or not white as these people are, this is normal. But instead of

accepting and loving themselves as they are, people try to fit in that beauty

definition of the media. They pay lots of money, gives a lot of effort, have plastic

surgeries to look like them. With such surgeries they are given chance to have

double eyelid, a fit body with liposuction, bigger breasts, small and lifted nose,

bigger and plumber lips, pushed up butt ect. The real question is "Are these

operations really necessary?". Just in Turkey, every year, around fifty thousand

people have these operations just to look like the people which the media present

us. Most of them do this to be desirable and acceptable. For men see those women

in media and those of whom are operated, their aspect toward women has changed

too. They want more beautiful, well-groomed, good looking women like we see on

TV and films. So that women feel as if they have to be like them. So taking into

account all of these, we can say media has a great impact on the concept of beauty

and we can't say that it is in a good way.
