The world today is manipulated by the invisible hand of the media.By using glossy adverts,it's such an easy task to hypnotise the society to buy their products.
And being women,with their naive quest for eternal beauty,they can easily succumb to the tricks of the media.
"Youth in a jar".That's how most of the advertisements portray their anti-aging products with the promises that it can hide wrinkles,revitalise skin to make it more elastic and rejuvenate any signs of aging.To most of the women,they know that such promises were lies but still they end up buying them,spending hundreds of dollars on cosmetics.
This is reinforced by the stereotypical image of women that is being portrayed by the media.Young models,with sleek legs and fair skin and long,smooth hair.All of this goddess images had set an unattainable goal for all women in order to be accepted by the society,and they made it possible by buying their beauty products.
However,in this twentieth century,most women had come to the realization that outer beauty is not everything.The meaning of beauty had been redefined.It's no longer just thick make up with blushed cheeks or long eyelashes.Women nowadays are more attached to the quest of self peace and happiness which will illuminate their inner beauty,a beauty which is much more treasured by men.
The new definition of beauty had helped women to liberate themselves from being slaves to cosmetic products and it helps to boost the self esteem of many women who were afraid because of their ugliness (This writer doesn't attempt to use euphemisms to hide the truth,so pardon him for his insensitive remark when he should have had used a more politically correct term like their plain beauty).They are fat (horizontally challenged/overweight/out of shape) and had braces on their teeth.But that doesn't mean they aren't happy and contented.Doesn't that matter most after all?
( Yup,you've guessed it right,the writer is a male architecture student who believes that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder)
