Stereotypes In Photos

In my opinion the use of photoshop in pictures can have a major affect on a variety of things. Such as self of steem in young adolecence and the pressure to be "perfect", But having said that photoshop isn't the only thing playing the public eye. Everywhere we turn there is often a picture displaying a beautiful skinny woman with a perfect complextion, and wether we like it or not for a split second you think to your self "why am I not like that". Often this can be a trigger point for adolecence for self esteem issues or leading to unhealthy acts such as eating disorders in the strive to also become "perfect". I myself have been influnced by these false pictures and felt the pressure of looking like that perfect woman. Not only to it leading
to very unpleasant thoughts of my physical appearence but sadly enough, an eating disorder. Nowadays, social media is such a powerful part of many teens lives. When we browse though the web or simply check our Instagram we often scroll onto a picture or ad containing a beautiful woman . Most of us know that the flawless pictures we find have been enhanced. Yet it’s still hard to convince ourselves that the pictures we pore over are fantasy, not real. Seeing is believing. Having said this I think labeling photoshopped images is a great idea, However the scale system is not the best way to go about it.
I think that that the scale system will only put more restrictions on modeling agencies picking skinnier models to avoiding getting a higher number slapped on the photo. Which again would result in aspiring models or adolecence having more chances in developing a eating disorder to be more acceptable and "perfect". I think if it's photoshopped in any way then it should be labeled to let the viewer know it's not anything to compare themselves to.
