Since we have been discussing the media, I have been starting to notice a change in how I perceive it. I have been starting to analyze commercials and how they are trying to trick us to get what they want us to do. It's sad how girls think they have to look a certain way because of the way girls are portrayed all over the media. They are in magazines, commercials, TV shows, and artists. Everyone is guilty of wanting to look like the girls that are famous but what we don't realize is they aren't perfect. They are just like us, ordinary people. But the media builds them up to be something that there completely not. They use photo shop to make them look skinner, cover up their blemishes, and make their face angles precise. If you look at the original picture to the photo shopped one it doesn't even look the same. In this picture you can definitely tell the difference between the original picture and the photo shopped one.
You can clearly tell the difference between the two pictures.
With friends you use social media to see what their up too. You can also tell that what they post can be totally fake sometimes and staged. Think about the dumb captions that they put with it, they probably spend hours trying to come up with an caption. I had a friend in high school that posted a picture on social media and it didn't get enough likes, so she took it down and posted it again later at night because she thought it would get more likes at night. Like seriously?? Your life has come down to how many likes you get on a picture.
Social media has corrupted people in a lot of different ways. I guess it depends on what your stance is on it and how you go about with using it. It all depends on the person and how they want to let it affect them. It can be used for good and it can be used for evil.
