media

The main points of the article include how the media is turning regular famous women or men and changing their appearances to make them look better. The other key points in the article are explaining to the general public that celebrities don’t really look like that, but in fact they are being photo shopped to look perfect. Everything from their eye color to their boobs things are being altered with. Reese Witherspoon a very famous actress was scene in a photograph with a completely different chin then the last photograph she had taken not to long ago.  I do agree with the general push of the article because I believe that they are taking Photoshop a little too far. I could understand if someone has a huge zit on their forehead, yes Photoshop it out, but eye color come on. Its like getting plastic surgery, but without the pain. They are giving girls and boys a message that is not healthy, perfection. No one is perfect, no one. So many people look up to how beautiful those people are when in fact they are not showing their true selves. I believe Photoshop should be used only to fix things like a pimple or something else. Not necessarily boob size or even how skinny you look.
