The video deals with the idea of women trying too hard to impress other people, when what they should really focus on is making themselves happy. This message struck a chord with me because we all witness this on a daily basis. You see it all around you people wearing tons of make-up thinking that they need to do this otherwise they aren't attractive. People nowadays have this idea of what beauty really is, however there isn't one ideal of beauty, there are infinite amounts. What I find beautiful may not be someone else's. I'm not anti make-up, I just feel that girls should only wear it if it makes them happy, because at the end of the day, if you were home alone all week and didn't leave the house would you wear make-up, or if the world ran out of make-up would you not leave the house.
This issue especially hits me, with young people. I don't understand why an eleven year old thinks that they have to wear make-up. When I was eleven, girls my age, didn't care about make-up unless it was a special event, and the boys didn't judge them. So what has happened? Well society has now reached a point where the media decides what beauty is. Here is an example....
This girl was ten years old, when this picture graced the pages of highly popular magazine Vogue. Not only was this picture in an article but there were ten others and she was on the front cover in a sexual pose. Now let me repeat an earlier fact, she was TEN. Why are ten year olds being put in fashion magazines as sex symbols, they can't even have sex for another six years. Her mother had to shut down her Facebook account because she was being tagged in sexual photos of her daughter, but it begs the question, why would you have let your daughter do it in the first place. There is so much to be said about this situation, but bringing it back to the main point about beauty, this is a prime example of how the media are corrupting the minds of young people. They are being told to be beautiful and worthy of a magazine cover they must, wear heavy make-up, wear nice dresses and heels, be tanned and look like a model, when in actual fact, guys probably don't care.
Okay, I've gone off on a massive rant about women and beauty, so lets look at the male side of the argument. Men are shown pictures of these good looking blokes, with rippling muscles and because the media puts these out there, men feel inadequate in comparison, but who cares, if you like going to the gym and working out, that's fine, but if you don't care if you have a six pack of beer rather than a six pack, why feel crap. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
