Best work of art

So I just wanted to talk a little about the Dove commercial we say in class today, the one that starts with the little girl looking into the camera. When the film starts flashing into advertisements of women in bikinis, bras, underwear, and other very reviling cloths items, along with commercials for all type of weight loss pills and tricks is when I believe it becomes very eye opening.  This video is showing people how in today’s magazines, commercials, films and televisions shows, all they tell girls are what makes an 'ideal' women and how to fix our bodies to make sure we are a perfect women.

No one should feel like they need to buy this item, wear this or that or have to try this new wright loss pill just so society will accept them. It's depressing that when society thinks of women, most people right away jump to how women should look like, how they should act and what they should buy to achieve that.  What’s even sadder is that even with the high standers we set for women, advertisement companies still usually Photoshop their actress to make them look even more perfect, to make them more like the ‘ideal’ women. We have put the stander so high for women, that no one will ever be able to become the ‘ideal’ women.

Sometimes I think women need to remember that not only are we God's best work of art, God create also created us in his image and he created us so that we would all be beautiful in our own way.
