Essay:
Attempt 1:
The media always shows sexy men and women as cover people, while the people reading the magazine look at it and say, “I wanna be them.” But what really are they?
These cover women and men are what the media calls perfect, and most of society is led into believing that they are. In reality, these people are just normal people that the media came up to and said: “Hey, you’re slightly attractive, we gonna improve your face,” then they did. It’s almost like they’re trying to make something artificial.
Look at plastic surgery. So many ordinary people have gone through this process of literally having fat sucked out of their body, and some even go so far to completely change their face in order to become that much more “beautiful.” This, in reality, is just them killing their uniqueness so they can be “prettier.” Honestly, it seems unethical.
Media has a huge impact on the modern way that many have learned what beauty is. Sadly enough, there are people who have gotten so into the concept of medial beauty that they have changed everything they used to be due to attempting to follow along with their favorite actor or celebrity.
In magazines, ads for beauty products, and even some movies there are actors who are shown to have used a product, and it shows them with “flawless” skin and hair. Some commercial products do work, but there are the others that don’t really work as well as it was shown. This is really just tricking people into thinking that the product makes them into something perfect, but it really doesn’t.
There is no real definition to perfect that could be found in the dictionary. It seems that perfect always varies from person to person, and no definition is exactly the same. Still, there are some similarities between most definitions. Most of them have something related to “no problems.”
There’s not much that is truly realistic to the media’s definition of perfect, except it’s what most people have been led to believe…
Attempt 2:
The perfect person. No matter the gender, this can be described in only a few sentences:
No acne, no blemishes, no imperfections, etc. For a man, this means that they have medium to short hair, perfect jawline, muscles, and other things. For women, this is having (usually) long hair, beautiful face...
