As we have been discussing about advertisements in media, I recently read an article about how the beauty portrayed in media is affecting the public. It seems as if the celebrities that people see through media have the same influence on the public as any advertisements. We often hear that appearances are important; if we change them, our lives will improve. In order to be accepted by the society, many continuously go under plastic surgery.
Renée Zellweger seemed to have done much plastic surgery, as it could be clearly be observed compared to the past. Before the surgery, she used to have chubby cheeks, but now it is quite unrecognizable that she has lost those chubbiness. Although it has not been clearly stated that she actually went through the plastic surgery, people are more curious about why people in general want to do the surgery.
If so many celebrities put something in their face or take something out of their face constantly, it would mean that there is a strong trend of plastic surgery. Those wanting to be beautiful would want to be like the celebrities they like, and do plastic surgery as well. In my opinion, so many people want to do plastic surgery because they are quite worried about their appearances in that they want to look beautiful to others and want to be accepted by the society.
It makes me nuts that we blame celebrities for having plastic surgery, when we also judge them harshly if they happen to age naturally. They're people. This woman has worked in an industry for decades that has told her she has to be perfect--and now, what a shock, she's had surgery to try to hold back the ageing process. I don't blame her. I *do* blame an industry that hates women.
