For example, "airbrushed" celebrities and models featured in magazines ads, stories, and covers. Do you think it affects specific audiences such as women, men and/or children and teens? How?

I think it is something that is done more than not. It does promote the idea of perfection in women in today's society. Beauty should be portrayed naturally. Unfortunately, that probably won't ever happen!

I think that they're making those girls feel like if they need to be "retouched" on a magazine cover or something they are too ugly to look natural on those pics. I think they feel a need to be even more beautiful than they are. This leads to anorexia, bulemia, etc. It also affects teenagers and women, because they think that this perfection can be reached, when nobody is perfect. I feel kind of sad for those models, some look so thin and fake that they can't be anything more than than hangers for clothes, you know? Just my opinion.

what's the difference between a photograph of a model being touched up vs a woman putting on makeup in the morning?
since the camera adds 15 lbs, what's wrong with retouching those extra pounds out?
most of these models look better in person than in photographs, so what's wrong with retouching them back to the reality which exists? ever been to a lingerie runway show? the models look better in person.
all ads affect all people, the successful ones effectively sell their product. most ads show only what is meant to be shown with regard to a product.
pasta ads have added color to make the pasta look more delicious.
coffee ads have fake smoke to illustrate a steaming cup.

I think that it just makes a lot of those people that read it feel worse about them selves. Nobody really looks like that, why don't they put real people in the magazines? The average woman or man should be modeling so people can see what those things would look like on them.

Everyone has their imperfections and they more than likely do not like it. Of course it affects specific audiences. I mean think of playboy, what if they didn't touch anything up in there. And I'm sure celebrities get touched up every now and again. It's part of being in the spot light.

I think its outrageous forf models NOT to be airbrushed. Who wants to see a fat hog on the cover of vogue? Not me! As far as affecting women, maybe it will encourage some fattys to lose some weight.

at the start, ALL images in "beauty" magazines are retouched. Society's obsession with flawlessness is an instantaneous effect, in my opinion, of the media's use of extremely-skinny, appropriate-searching fashions. Many undergo intense measures to change into fashions and preserve their prestige and position in the modeling market. as a effect, human beings (exceedingly women individuals) strengthen to degree their personal visual attraction adversarial to that of the fashions portrayed in the guides accessible to the conventional public. the photographs project childrens to degree others with the photographs they have been uncovered to. youthful human beings are really obsessed on their visual attraction/body, that is primary, as their bodies decide on the help of a significant replace. despite the indisputable fact that, it would want to be wholesome for the media to apply truly, primary-searching human beings of their promotion. women individuals change into obsessed on wrinkles, gray hair and grown adult males celebrate with the shortcoming of wrinkles and grey hair (not in any respect thoughts that their visual attraction is a mirror image of what they do no longer celebrate with in the option sex). adult males don't realize that adult males's magazines are not from now on truly, unretouched images of nude women individuals. adult males's magazines are a fantasy portrayal of what adult males favor to be sure, no longer what truly exists in the genuine international. The campaign for beauty is an attempt on the area of a company (Unilever) to deliver actuality into promotion. they prefer to be applauded for taking the first large leap in the direction of a wholesome view of exact human beings.
