Beauty Isn’t Just in the Eye of the Beholder—It’s Inside Us

We’ve all seen the Dove beauty campaigns. This short video, entitled “Onslaught,” is the most recent of the series and a perfect example of the media’s powerful effect on women’s beauty and body issues.

Every day we’re overwhelmed by images of what the advertising world thinks is the womanly ideal—someone who’s forever young, bone thin, and ready to change the way she looks with plastic surgery even if she’s gorgeous just the way she is.

We’d love to have your opinion on the impact of the media on women in today’s world. Let us know what you think by commenting on this post.

    I don’t want my daughter growing up believing that you have to be a size 0 to be beautiful. The beauty industry needs to make some changes!

    Wow, this video gave me goosebumps. I never thought about it until I read this post, but every time I see one of those weight loss commercials I always start a new diet. I wish I could just be happy with myself the way I am. I know I’m beautiful the way I am, it’s just hard to remember that all the time.
