This is important to realize that beauty is not everything a person can offer. The media influences people to be this way towards other people so they can sell products or get people to join their gym and make contracts with them. In Freire reading, he says the type of education one is given is banking education*.
The media tells us one thing or make one type of person look beautiful and watchers try their hardest just to look that way so they can be considered beautiful.
People get eating disorders because of trying to look like the people on tv. A lot of people follow what is on the tv and a lot of it is bad. They ignore the good things because they want to be popular and do whatever it takes.
People agree on a lot of things and people disagree on a lot of things too. This is something that is a debate because in some ways, this is good because it may push someone to eat healthier but other people will try to get the results the fast way and become bulimic or anorexic or just put on a lot of makeup. *Freire says that in education, teachers have power over students. The teachers give information, make the students memorize it and spit it back out as what they learned. Freire described education as teachers are depositing informtion to the studetns as if they were banks.
