In a commercial found on Youtube.com, there was a 30 second segment called Dove’s New “Onslaught” Ad which starts off with a young innocent girl with redish orangish hair standing on the road in the front of the camera. Then suddenly there’s pictures , billboards and other commercials of older women that are petites, dieting, weighing on a scale and eating less. What the commercial is portraying is that this skin product will make your skin look beautiful and by taking diet pills you will lose weight easier and faster. Also the ad shows how getting plastic surgery will make you feel beautiful and look like the models or actresses seen in magazines or on television. After seeing this ad several times I realized that the beauty industry has taken over the world we live in. What we see is out there and what is trendy, we as the people tend to navigate towards it. The last message in the commercial it states, “ Talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does.” After hearing that message I felt like parents should talk to their children more and remind them that they are beautiful just the way they are and they don’t need to change because of what they see on television or magazines cause that’s not real. What you see is the outer appearances of someone that is selling something that may work on that significant person but not to everyone else. Even the models or actresses we do see don’t look like that at all, it’s basically computer generated and camera editing that makes them look perfect when in reality they probably are not due to them only to be hidden in front of a camera to make money. No one is prefect in this world and everyone has there flaws but the message young teens and young adults get they tend to gravitate towards it. That is why so much girls these days go on diets and many of them have eating disorders or health flaws due to they want to look like the famous people seen on the screen in front of them. Hopefully one day this world and the society we live in changes and where everyone is comfortable in there own skin and know that what we see is not always true or who we see is not what you want to become or else the beauty industry will get you before you realize it.
