Documentary on American Beauty

It is very interesting to see what American people in today's world perceive as beautiful. Since many Americans read magazines, watch advertisements, and see celebrities, they think that beautiful reflects only how you look on the outside. Americans overlook inner beauty like personality and feelings and only care about physical looks like how skinny people are and what people wear in order to determine someone's amount of beauty. This all stems from the media. Media has a big influence on how people perceive aspects of society like beauty. If the media shows pictures of many skinny people with small clothes on then people will think of the perfect man or woman as being very skinny wearing small clothes. People will not even start a relationship with someone who is an average size and wearing the average size of clothing because they do not think that these type of people are beautiful. Thinking of the perfect man or woman for marriage relates to how people think of their own beauty. People of average size who wear average size clothing will not think that they are beautiful because they want to be the perfect man or woman. That is a problem because it is next to impossible to be the perfect man or woman. The only way to be the perfect man or woman is to become anorexic or bulimic which is terrible for one's health. Americans will try to do the impossible in order to follow the status quo with beauty.
