“beauty” that she sees, she tried to copy it. As time passed by, improvements came and the gap between her and the media grew, but still she copies it to fill these gaps and be closer to the media. She forced herself to go beyond her capabilities and limits in order to consider herself as a beautiful. She probably made what she sees on the television as a base to what the definition of what beauty is.
The Doll Face video has a very powerful message, especially that
through the years media has taken over our minds that sometimes it limits us on
thinking outside the box. It would be easier for us to believe what the media
is telling us rather than opposing to what the majority believes in. Sometimes,
opposing others’ beliefs might make you look bad. They won't even listen to
you. You don’t know if they really understand what is happening or they're just
one of those people who just go with the flow and listen to what the media is
feeding them.
As an effect to what
we see and hear daily, we began to imitate the media thinking that if we will
be like them we will become better. We we’ll be more accepted by the society as
long as we become part of the trend. Media is pushing us to be all the same that
sometimes, and when we like a person we forget to be ourselves. We keep on
pushing ourselves to do things that are beyond our limit like buying clothes
that are too expensive, wearing make-up that itches our skin or even changing
our skin color. We forget that not everything we see should be imitated. We
forget to establish our own self and identities because we depend on what we
see. We were blinded by the beauty we see outside.
It is like this, when a child watches a violent show, we wouldn't want
them to copy it, but rather learn that they should not be doing that. It is sad
on how after all of the changes that have been done, we still continue to ask
for more. We were never really contented and continue to copy others, so that
we didn't even think about what if I continue to be me? Will I become happier
than I am now?
