Guest Writer-Simone Carter Media Vs. You

When you look in the mirror what do you see? As a teen I remember looking in the mirror seeing many imperfections. Wondering why I didn’t look like the women on television or in the magazines. I didn’t realize until my adult years that they don’t even look how they appear on television or in the magazines. Those very women were pieces of worldwide art put together to form the ideal woman. This idea lead to me thinking I wasn’t pretty enough nor good enough.

For instances, as you know your teen years can be rough due to acne and although I didn’t have the worst acne it didn’t help my self-esteem when I had blemishes, acne appear every so often. I tried everything from proactive to the next best thing, and it never worked. I had to go through the process of getting past the acne and developing into a young adult, but media made it seem easy to get rid of acne and things about myself I didn’t find attractive based on my surroundings and trends.

In this piece I created it displays the very idea media “helps” young girls paint for themselves. We view ourselves as piece. There are areas whether in our face or body we wish we could add or subtract. It’s like web design, in web you have about four to six columns depending on whether you are using bootstrap or skeleton. For example in web design you build your website to attract various different types of people. You want people to keep coming back to view your page. In retrospect we desire the same thing for our appearance and in today’s world people do design themselves as web designer to webpages They strip away the piece that are not appealing or attracting the audience they desire and add what it is the people want or what is ideal. See but the different is when you’re a teen those things are hard to strip away.

This image displays how I viewed myself as well as how many girls’ today’s view themselves. I think that this very image is helpful for young girls to see and know that they aren’t alone when it comes to having the world paint their idea of beauty. We have to stop treating ourselves like we are a website being built by today trends and media. I think that if we look at ourselves as a whole image with imperfect that are beautiful to us we would be better off internally and externally. In the words of Mary J. Blige, I know who I am. I am not perfect. Im not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I’m one of them.

  1. Continue to reach the unreachable. The world need REAL issues(those issues that are overlooked ) to be addressed in realness.

  2. It’s important, especially in today’s society, the young girls have positive role models to look up to. Most of them get their ideas of what a woman should look like and what beauty is from watching television. But like you said, those women don’t even look like that. They spend hours in hair and make-up, hours on an operating table and all we see is the finished result. It’s not realistic. Young girls and women have to understand that there are variations of beauty.

  3. Thank you guys for your responses to this issue we consistently face daily being women in a society that has created this false idea of what beauty is today.
