if only the media didnt emphasize ” beauty” so much. and well i guess like someone else said, someone could think someone’s attractive while another person could think the same person isn’t attractive.
Sure Dove cares about ‘self-esteem’. That why they sell skin lightening cream and Use Photoshop.
Because girls want attention from boys.and they wont get if it they are “fat” or “ugly” is the sad truth.
I’m only 14 and i see girls at my school all the time complain about how they look.I will admit i do too.
is just something we girls sadly do
i dont want more selfesteem i want to be beautiful !
but
who am i kidding.
Shut down the tv, the biggest mass control and we all begin to live better.
i was thinking pretty much the same thing throughout the video..i mean, why can’t kids notice that there are so much more worse things to worry about than themselves being “fat.”
Yeah dont get me wrong I love curves…and most of the girls I like have normal weight I just dont think the people I see at walmart who are bigger than the isle and look like the people of the movie Disney’s Wall-E should feel good about themselves.
Sorry for the long post
i agree with dove, i always feel i am fat when i see the magazines and everyone i know says that I’m not fat i just have problem areas that EVERYONE ELSE HAS.i also think it stems from parents siblings as well who make fun of their ‘pudgy’ siblings and don’t take the time to help them see their own beauty. i have a friend who is bigger than me,she has MORE SELF-ESTEEM THAN I DO! self esteem is crucial to how people lead their lives.
Balance people! It’s unhealthy to be overweight and unhealthy to be underweight. I think culture and economic opportunity helps society as a whole to find the balance that individuals need. Example, the current culture in most of the 1st world is overweight is bad, why? Because, over food production and over eating is the problem for most people in these countries. So what does society and economic opportunity do? They tend to focus on weight being a problem. But thats what the culture needs.
Aha thank you! I’ll put your name with the quote.
If you were directing your statement at me, then sure, you can use it. :- D
Aha I love that sentence, agree 100%. Can I use it?
Give you credit.
It’s easy to say that, because it is definitely apparent that third world countries have many problems. While it is necessary to help these people, it can be just as necessary to help people with certain problems in the country we live in. Dove is doing a hell of a lot more work for others than most companies. I think it’s great, personally.
There are kids starving all over the world due to eating disorders. It needs to be addressed and I for one think dove are doing a great job in making a stand.
well its not exaclty somethin thats not worth a campaign.. people with low self esteem feel like shit all the time because they think fake perfection is natural beauty.. there are thousands of charities that help towards third world countries and its still not solved so dove wouldnt make a massive different really lol
yea, the idea is good, but the change isn’t great enough…
tha damage done by media is done by now anyway, and we somehow gotta find a way back.
nobody should tell us what beauty has to be like, but i guess you cant help the manipulation of our surroundings.
i mean everything manipulates us, from our family and friends, over fairy-tales, movies, magazines… the list is like endless.
we got to wake up, but who will ring the bells?
yea, if its like waaay to to much it influences your health.. but a certain amount of fat is necessary. i dont like how woman nearly got to look like sticks, if they wanna be a “beautiful” or rather a succsessful model.. curves are feminin and natural.
they belong to woman and should’t be starved away, because u are frantic about every single gramm of fat.
everything is relative and the middle-way is commonly the best solution.
There are kids starving in countries all over the world and we’re wasting millions trying to get American kids to feel good about themselves? I see Dove’s good intentions, but to be honest, they should consider allocating their resources to something more…critical.
You could say they only got a different approach to sell theiy products, but i think they have a different approach to “beauty”, too. anyway, i think you completed my statement in a good way, thanks (=
yeah, make up is good
that’s why educated countries do not care…
Agreed.
The self-esteem problem that most people have is not too little but too much.
makeup makes you feel confident.
i hate the media… they tell us were ugly and imperfect and their products will fix everything
