PICTURE

Picture, is just an image of something or someone in a second in time. It has no life and it doesn’t make a sound. It doesn’t feel and it doesn’t actually talk. Even thought is it nothing but a dead image it affects all of us. We live our lives looking at pictures to set what beauty is. We look in magazines to see the type of person we have to look like in order to be hot. Susan Bordo describes to us how we let this pictures influence us. Now we see a picture of a model in a magazine and we made that a model to how we should look like and how everyone else should also look like. Now the really skinny body is what is sexy. Before people would think that someone who had more meet in their body would be sexier because it would say that they have money and that they come from a higher class because they have what they need to be healthy and feed themselves. When we ride the trains we see advertisements all over telling you to but some pill because it’s going to make you skinny and people will do it because as human beings we want to be accepted and we want to look beautiful. We thing that the only way to be beautiful is by looking like the models in magazines. So in a way we are pressure to buy the products that will let us have the body that we desire not because of us but because that is what society is telling us. As time changes so will things and who knows how things are going to look later on. Maybe a stick would be the perfect model in 20 years from now. Like Bordo said that even kids have that image that being skinny is the only sexy way in the future they are going to still have in their mind and so they will pass it on to the next generation. Picture is what seems to drive us.
