Two Worlds Collide

Aziz and Cucher have talked about how much technology has taken over out lives. They show how it affects us in many ways. These ways are things such as socially, physically, and psychologically. They have seen that we go out of the way to make ourselves something that we honestly aren’t. They use an interesting skin growth called Dystopia. This is something that they use in their developed photos to show how person hood relies on the body. They focus on mutation, anxiety, and transformation. They have taken the flaws of people and created photographs to show us how much digital photos are harming us today.

It is ridiculous to see what our world has come to. We have an increase in eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, and this is because people are not happy with how they look. When people watch TV or look at any magazine they are flooded with images of people that look nothing like their real self. People look up to famous celebrities because they look beautiful and flawless. The truth is that they have just as many flaws as the rest of us. They are photo graphed and then the image is downloaded onto the computer to be mutated to something that is flawless.

I personally think that this is a big problem in our society today. This is something that could easily be fixed, but we all know that that will never happen. People need to learn to be happy with how they look and not worry about what others think. The only thing that matters is what you are meant to look like. When you walk around town it is obvious what people really care about how they look. It is the people who have on a bunch of makeup, are dressed in really nice clothes, and the people that have the perfect tan, etc. This is obviously unrealistic, for no person can be that perfect. It is really unfortunate that TV and magazines has had an impact like this on us. If it weren’t for the fact that people wanted to look exactly like their favorite movie star or singer there would be a lot less problems with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

The image that everyone seems to want is the skinny, tan, tall, sexy model. Most people don’t realize that many of the models seen in photographs and mutated to look as if they are the way they are. Not one person is natural in a model picture and it is sad to say that they probably never will. It is a wonder why people develop such disorders. These problems often start at a young age and can last a life time. It is rare that people completely grow out of the stage of not caring about what people think. If people would stop making fun of people with how they look and mutating images of people to show them looking perfect then maybe out society wouldn’t have so many problems. People should just think about who they really are and not change themselves to be something they aren’t.
