Recently, there was an advertisement on TV, TV mobile and MRT stations that really caught my eyes. And the only way for me to share why it caught my eyes is to let you see it. I manage to find one similar advertisment in you-tube that was shown overseas. Enjoy!
Interesting advestisment, right =) It is an adverstisement for
Campaign for Real Beauty
This could me into thinking........What is this campign about????
Went to the website www.campaignforrealbeauty.com.sg and found out this is a campaign started by Dove to raise the self esteem of girls and women.
"Every day we are bombarded by hundreds – if not thousands – of airbrushed images of “beauty”… images with the power to affect how we see our bodies and our selves.
But who defines these beauty standards? How can we turn the tide of such beauty pressures and encourage young girls and women everywhere to embrace a more positive body image? We believe it’s time to find the answers… with your help.
Too many girls develop low self-esteem from hang-ups about looks and, consequently, fail to reach their full potential in later life.
So, Dove created the Dove Self-Esteem Fund as an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty."

Personally, I do agree that the media does affect our perspection of who we are and how we feel about ourselves. We may unconciously feel inferior or ugly because we do not measure up to the stars as shown on TV or movies. Honestly, I think the girls shown in the advestisement looks pretty. Yet they do not feel so because they feel they do not mesure up to what the media protrays as beauty =(
Well, I think we all need a change of mindset :
Look not at the outer beauty
but at the inner beauty!
Outer beauty will fade away but the inner beauty of a person in terms of his character and substance will last the ages!
Now the next important question I will like to ask is :
When they will start a campaign to help us guys get a true picture of manhood? =)
