RE: What Would A World Without Beauty Standards Look Like?
I think this problem is much deeper than a beauty standard, it stems from such a blind adherence to the cultural standards. If people in the west value their "individualism" so much, why do they all look to the same media to understand the world. Hollywood and news channels and printed media and the record industry have their agendas. They want to make money and that will always be their priority. They might eventually offer more fat models as a way to get fat consumers to connect more, but it's about bringing in those potential consumers.
It's up to people to just stop caring about all that stuff that caters to the darker side of human nature and fear.
And this is the point ! Of course the industry won't stop ! It is all about money and making business and as you said , it's up to the people how they react to it !
there is a really effective and simple solution to quite a bit of this, turn the television off, and i dont mean for a while i mean forever, stop allowing someone else to fill your childrens heads with this crap its everywhere, every add , every news story, every news caster, movie star, tv star on and on just grab the cord yank it out of the wall and cut the end off , saves tons of money, saves millions of psyches and it cheap and simple, we need to stop letting our children "grow up" and return to "raising " them.
or let them grow up in nature, with people, with trees, and without all the images of a self-destructive society.
