Body Image

Why did I write about it? It's because my thesis is about woman's body image. It discusses why many women have a negative body image. I'm sure that imaging mass media imaging(?) is one of the causes. They tell us about what beauty is, it's about being skinny, pretty, tall and having a flawless skin. So, it is not surprising that there is now such strong demand for whitening and slimming products have become very much in demand, especially in my country.

It doesn't matter if you use these products to enhance (just a suggestion) build self-confidence, but it would be very really alarming when you became dependent on the such products, especially when it comes to you end up believing that you can only be beautiful if you use by using these products. I found many ads only reveals the outer beauty and ignore the inner beauty. It can make a woman feel very frustrated.

I hope wish that advertising is were not only raising about outer beauty but also about inner beauty. Because "beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart", said Kahlil Gibran.
