For a what purpose are we using all those filters and photoshops? For a what reason are we trying to create some kind of an illusion of a better version of ourselves? In order to meet certain “ideal beauty“ or “ideal perfection.“ (Smith, 2017)
I would recommend this article mainly because of
a part “How to use social media to improve on a self-esteem.“
I would
recommend this short presentation because it concerns mainly about teens.
Additionally, you can find here statistics for a better imagination in
numbers.
On the other hand, social media with a proper purpose can be
a very helpful tool. Correct and positive influence, supporting, teaching
how to build a confidence, and how to respect and value yourself. We are
talking about a body positivity. The impact have role models who show an
imperfection which is actually perfect. A real picture of
a diversity. (Mazu, 2018)
I would highly recommend for people who are struggling
with embracing their “imperfections.“
I agree that it is an serious issue, because especially girls tend to be perfect. Social media world pushed this issue even further and "ideal beauty" is all around us. The true is that for other people it may have positive effect, because I agree that many people (again mostly women) do not have enough self-confidence.
