Media's perception of beauty impacts the United States in a few ways. For example, as technology advances, people find new ways in which to find what is beautiful. They see "beautiful" actresses and actors and try to find out their secrets of beauty so that they can follow them and do the same things they do. Throughout all fifty states we see the same styles and we also see every person in the United States trying to copy these styles. People aspire to look like modern-day celebrities, but don't realize that the celebrities themselves don't look like their photos. It is all an illusion made created by technology and the media. The Standards of beauty in the United States are unrealistically high. For example, when going to red carpet events, celebrities are excepted to wear expensive, designer dresses. This makes people think that the more expensive their belongings are, the more beautiful they are.
Hollywood could be considered the king city of beauty. People, especially girls, turn to Hollywood for beauty advice. This leads to people looking for imperfections in their body and then trying to change their appearance. Men also compare themselves to Hollywood celebrities and suffer because they can't look like them. It is common to see Hollywood celebrities following procedures, such as, Botox injections and face lifts to appeal more to the media ad the public. This makes people want to do the same to maintain beautiful skin, free of aging.
Activist are working to provide awareness of the dangers of the Hollywood Factor. They hope to bring broader and more realistic views of beauty that don't have a negative impact on society. They try to tell the media that the values and aspects they promote don't apply to all, therefore, they should change
The National context is similar to the global context because they both affect our society. For example, People's Magazine has a yearly issue in which they name the 50 most beautiful people. This affects society because these beautiful people are all celebrities. What this means is that society and everyday people don't see the variety which leads them to think that only one type of beautiful is accepted. The magazine is published in the United States but it is mentioned on the news which is watched around the world.
