The video of J.Kilbourne conveys us a great and powerful message. She clarifies bout what woman is meant to be in society through the ads. People prefer to see only the external beauty. The majority choose the easiest way to make money by modeling both in past and present. They pretend things that are not real. Do things that may do not like doing but they do so due to circumstances. It is preferred the beauty and the power of image. Body it is objectificated too. In order to be successful an ad it is used the woman's body even though at the most of the times is not necessary. Photoshop is used to . They try to show something that is not real at all. Fake bodies, fake faces and fake realities.
