The Beauty Myth

From researching Wolf's theory of the Beauty Myth, and various other theorists discussing the topic, I have discovered many influential concepts of beauty.

Therefore I have decided to resist the trend of the 'ideal woman' and opt for a curvier, more unique in appearance actor to star in my music video. This is because I feel that the media influences the public into aspiring to be impossibly perfect and flawless, thus I shall deny conformists and present a modern twist on beauty in my music video as this will allow the public to relate more easily with the actor.


Below is some feedback via the social networking site Facebook from peers having watched my presentation on the Beauty Myth:

This supports the theory that beauty is objective, and further elaborates on the comments I made about media distorting the public's perception of true beauty.

Once again this feedback agrees that beauty is objective; however the latter half of the comment suggests they disagree with Wolf's theory- that the media sells beauty in the interest of the public rather than perfection.

Having read the feedback from my presentation I have decided that I shall conform to the public's opinion and present an artist that is beautiful to the public whether or not they have physical flaws.
