We as a group hope that through the articles and
visuals provided in this magazine, we have adequately
outlined the burden that different forms of social
media weigh on the shoulders of both women and men
everywhere. It is because of these forms of media that
we have began to associate our body shapes with fruit
and food (pear-shape, muffin-top, apple-shape). It is
because of these forms of media that we are all
striving to attain a figure or look that is not only
made to be unachievable but also leaves us perpetually
unsatisfied with ourselves. It is because of these
forms of media that we, as a society, have lost sight
of the importance of self-love after all, self-love is
where the true power lies. We hope that by shedding
light on all the tricks advertisers and big industries
use when they portray women, we can show everyone that
it is time to rid ourselves of this unrealistic
standard and make acceptance of everyone, regardless of
size, color, height, etc. the norm.
Remember, you are more beautiful than you think.
Sincerely,
Team 12
