The image of being 'perfect'.
Perfect face, perfect teeth, perfect hair, perfect skin, tall, size 0 models are the stereotypical woman who are plastered all over popular magazines in today's society. The image of being 'perfect' has a big impact on women and teenage girls around the nation. Flicking through magazines, on every second page there seems to be advertisements displaying pictures of popular celebrities which all look flawless and are wearing the best clothes there is, which can easily lower someones self esteem within seconds. Young people grow up now looking in mirrors identifying all their flaws and comparing themselves all the time to celebrities and models. 45% of people out of 2000 in a Dove survey agree that women feel women who are more beautiful have greater opportunities in life.

There has been an ongoing debate about this as a lot of people do not agree with size 0 models as they think it is too thin and makes people want to be thinner like them which is known to be unhealthy. Some clothing brands today are starting to use 'plus size models' which there also has been arguments
