Where do we draw the line?




















Young adults these days are willing to give a natural look for an image created by the media of an unatural "ripped" body. The media portrays the idea that bigger bodies are perfection; an impossible objective in which reaching that point would require constant, endless improvement. Society has reached a point where people will do most anything to reach that point of acceptance. Using substances to obtain that "perfect" look in turn, destroys the basic functions of the body. Why do young adults exchange their true natural appearance for a false image of attraction?

  1. I found this picture to be extremely powerful. The caption does not express what is captured in the image. Yes, young men want to be muscle heads and look tough. What i found amazing in the image was that there are no woman lifting weights. Typically in society woman are viewed as looking slender and thin not buff. I love the image thought thats something that should be observed in the caption- Erika Wolkoff Section 3
