Our society has come a lot farther with the development of healthy beauty ideals, and changes are slowly being made, however beauty standards are still alive and dangerously present in the American society. The biggest issue that keeps these standards alive in our society is the unawareness about the situation as a whole. If the people in this society analyzed the causes of these beauty ideals, the effects they have on the women in this society, and the existing solutions, then solving the issue can be made a much more successful and smooth process. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so it’s time for this society to start encouraging self love, and find beauty in the many aspects of human beings beyond the surface of the skin in order to put an end to the toxic beauty standards that exist in our society.
