Lust for the media

We allow the media to make or break our lives. Now a days we let the media persuade us into trying to immitate what we see. For example in doll face was a video of a thing watching tv and extending herself to look at the tv and to keep trying to look like the person on the tv. In the dove video what i found remarkable was that all the people that were asked to define their looks thought they were uglier than they actually were then they were asked to interact with other people and then the other people were asked to describe the person. When the first person described herself she saw that she was actually describing herself uglier than she actually was. When the second person they met described them the picture actually looked like her. This video made me sad because of the fact that we all think different of ourselves than what others think of us. If we think we're ugly other people most likely think were beautiful. I think that would have totally boosted my self esteem by watching someone describe me and having a proffessional illustrator draw what they hear. I think these kind of topics should be talked about in schools because these are the kinds of topics that could boost your self esteem. If i would have seen this in middle school i wouldn't try so hard to fit in with society i would just be myself( not saying that im not myself i just am in a more media inspired way). I believe if we would take the time to teach and inform the younger generation about this situation we would have a better country/nation because people wouldn't be so caught up in the social media and would actually do their part to be successful in life. Things like this really get me inspired and makes me wish someone would take action to this matter to help make everything better because if our generation was taught this we probably wouldn't be in this economical difficulty. We probably would be having a Government Shutdown right now and we would probably all be living better. As you can see the smallest matter such as media and television impacts on society could leave a big imprint on the way we live now as a society.
