Influence Of America's Standards Of Beauty: Misconceptions

Beauty is a misconception. America's standards of beauty are based on physical appearance (hair, shape, complexion, height, and etc). Standards of beauty promoted in the media are deceiving because in magazines, photos are edited to change the physical body structure, complexions, and facial features of models and celebrities. Editors say that photos are edited to inspire people to stay fit, to draw attention to the magazine, and to make the people more appealing to the human eye.

Photos in magazines are edited to change the physical body structure of models and celebrities because they have to fit America's standards so they can be featured in the magazines. Editors are focused on the perfect look, so they can make some models and celebrities
slimmer or thicker. They also enlarge or reduce the breasts or buttocks. Editors say that these photos are edited this way to inspire people to stay fit. They feel that if they promote a perfect body in these magazines, people will be influenced to maintain a nice body.
