Nana Johnson - If Jennifer Lawrence Needs This Much Airbrushing, We're All Doomed

Summary:

This controversial GIF of Jennifer Lawrence reveals how the media unnecessarily photoshops images of those in Hollywood to fit their standards. The author of the article is most surprised by the fact that the magazine, Flare, photoshopped things that were already perfectly fine. They even photoshopped her fingers. Jennifer Lawrence is known for being outspoken about perfection within Hollywood. She doesn't think that she should conform to the Hollywood standards by going on a diet or changing who she is. She thinks that the industry had a significant opportunity to change the way that girls see themselves. The article also suggests seeing the positive sides about things you dislike about yourself.

This article really shows how the media attempts to insert the image of a "beautiful" woman in the United States. In the United States during the 1950s, the concept of a beautiful woman was a fuller figured woman like Marilyn Monroe. Jennifer Lawrence stated in an interview that she'd never go on a diet to fit a certain role, and she doesn't want girls trying to starve themselves to look like her either.
The author's main point is that at the media has a big impact on girl's self image and self awareness, and aren't making it any better. They are so obsessed with the concept of perfection, that it negatively impacts everyone else.
