In my honest opinion, I believe media does in fact create an unobtainable goal for both men and women to reach. The media showcases the perfect ideal of how you should look, talk, and what you should look like. The media selects certain individuals known as models to showcases the way perfect people should look like. So therefore the public is forced to adapt to what the media is shelling out to the young minds. Many people go to extremes just to look like a certain person they see from the media. They completely change to what is made popular from the media, even if it means to completely change your image. The media makes so much money off of fads and what is new and we are force to accept the change or be left out and “uncool”. The media sets such high standards that we are born to follow since the media is basically involve with us since day one. The media's perfect image is often fake, created by air brushing and computer enhancing a certain individual to make it seem as that they are perfect. The perfect image is used to advertise new and exciting products, these advertisements make the general public feel as they can become the perfect image if they use a certain product. Which in reality does not live up to the hype the media is out pushing to the general masses. However this “perfect image” point of selling has been installed in the public eyes for hundreds of years and it appears to be going no where anytime soon. In the meantime the media will keep pushing out these perfect images and perfect ways to live out our life for many years to come. So no matter what we do we certainly can't shake that we all want to be perfect little images that we are force feed in the media following every little fad. One way I believe the media can change these pursuits of the perfect image, is do not enhance any of the individual's pictures. By showing that even perfect people have flaws will make the masses feel as they can relate
