The beauty in the world

By Silvia

Nowadays people are very concerned with their image. People worry about their physical appearance. I think that it is body worship. This worship is caused by the world media (mainly TV, specially magazines and newspaper) that stimulate this way of life. As a consequence a lot of beauty and aesthetic clinics, gyms inundate the cities.

I think it is very important to take care of our body so that we have a good health. It is important to have appropriate nourishment and to practice some physical exercises regularly and it is also important to take care of appearance but not too much.
Some negatives effects result of this culture. A lot of girls under its influence are on diet for eternity and one of the results of this is that they become sick people with serious diseases, like anorexia and bulimia.

In my opinion, the effects are more negative than positive. It is important to take care of the appearance but not in excess. People think only about that and forget important values of life. We see mothers inducing their young daughters only kids, to participate in beauty contests, to be models and appear in the media .As a consequence, people become very materialistic and individualistic. Very empty-headed people.

Many people speak about the dictature of Venezuela or Cuba and the Fashion dictature? You see on TV few girls speaking about their dreams of being a famous model and turning sickness, and have emotional problems. That's is really important? We need to be a famous people? What have happened with the normal people? It's wrong to be normal?
Have a good health is good, have a good head is better than this.

I agree with you in almost everything.However,I'm in a eternity diet, so is dificult for me accept the idea of just take care of my mind and do exercises only for health.
I guess I live in the beauty's dictature.
