body image issues and low self-esteem, as individuals strive to meet these unrealistic beauty standards. The pressure to conform to society’s ideals of beauty can be particularly harmful to women, as they are often objectified and judged based on their physical appearance.
In addition to media influence, societal norms and cultural values also play a role in determining what is considered attractive. Different cultures may have different beauty standards, emphasizing certain physical attributes over others. For example, some cultures may prioritize fair skin or a specific body type.
It is important to recognize that these societal perceptions of beauty are not fixed or universal. They can change over time and vary across different communities and cultures. It is crucial to challenge narrow beauty standards and promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse body types and appearances.”
