The Evolution of Beauty
Kudos to Dove for their campaign to address the self esteem of girls! Here is one example: Campaign for Real Beauty visit http://campaignforrealbeauty.ca
While certainly a worthy undertaking to be applauded, I find it unfortunate that it leaves young boys/men without any acknowledgment that they might have similar self-esteem issues. Possibly a statement on the culture at large, though...
I cannot disagree with the notion that self-esteem is a universal concern and that is a culture " at large issue." I wonder though what is the functionally equivalent industry that affects boys the way the beauty/fashion industry affects girls. Interesting consideration to ponder- thanks Bill!
