Pop culture has influenced body image ideals in many ways in recent years since 2000. Body image is when someone looks at themselves in the mirror and check outside his body. Some people might like what they see, but most people don't. Everyone has at least one flaw that they don't like; no one is perfect. Lately, most teenagers and young adults dream of having the perfect body that they would stop eating or working out ten hours a day to look like the hottest new celebrity. Most Americans usually entertain themselves with television, music, social media, or magazines. In all these shows, the viewer recognizes celebrities and notices beautiful and surprisingly fit bodies. In the article titled “Beauty and Body Image: The Media and Its Negative Effect on Body Image” by Eve Florence Chernoff, she states: “Women's magazines have ten and a half times more ads and articles promoting loss weight compared to men's magazines. , and more than three-quarters of women's magazine covers contain at least one message about changing a woman's body attire” (Chernoff). Basically, Chernoff is saying that magazine companies encourage women to look thin, which is good, in a way, for becoming physically fit and healthier. However, some magazines promote these ads that make women feel less than they are worth. Pop culture has become a huge aspect in today's world and almost everyone watches television daily and sees most celebrities or models who are underweight. Lately, pop culture makes women and men doubt their bodies and increase their insecurities. In the aforementioned article, Chernoff states: “Twenty years ago, models weighed 8% less than the average woman……..half the paper……do altered with an image enhancement software program” (Tucker ). In this quote, Tucker explains that most of these celebrities use tons of makeup or are fixed to become the "perfect" image by a computer. Some teens and adults don't realize that most celebrities don't look like they do in photographs. They think that celebrities have the most beautiful bodies and skin tone, but that's actually not the case. Most teenagers thinking that celebrities are flawless increases their low self-esteem, which can lead to depression or, in extreme cases, suicide. Pop culture has also positively influenced body image through the Dove campaign, which sends powerful messages to women to simply be themselves and love their bodies. In today's world, pop culture has influenced body image both positively and negatively, through media such as magazines, television, or music..
