Find images in the media, which have been used to represent attractive and unattractive aspects of the human face. Examine and record carefully the photographic techniques used to accentuate both these qualities, drawing up a list that relates to the images you have found.
List the physical characteristics that we have come to admire in both the male and female face and write 100 words in response to the following questions:
Do you believe that media images or public opinion are responsible for the characteristics of beauty becoming universal stereotypes?
I think that the definition of beauty universally has become stereotypical. When we look on tv or read magazines we see that perfect guy or girl. They are either the people we want to be or who we want to be with. I think the worlds definition of beauty means perfect. You need to have the perfect teeth to give you the perfect smile. You have no pimples, or you're a size 0, then you're considered beautiful. Those things may make you a little more flattering but it shouldn't define the beauty of a person. Universally we see the guy with the abs and everything perfect and the girl with the perfect body and lovely everything. So the world has changed what beauty really means.
Do you believe people admiring media images of glamorous models can do any harm?
It depends. People see media images and its people they look up to and have as role models. I think it can turn bad when people are trying to do whatever they possibly can to become them and be perfect. There will be girls and guys trying to loose weight, cover their with a ton on make up, etc.
