A Polished Image

This TED talk can make us all think about how what we see on social media, in the news, in magazines, and online can be “entirely manufactured.” Cameron Russell, in her talk, points out that models are chosen solely based on looks and what is show is not authentic. It’s important to keep in mind that many people, such as models and the fashion industry, use social media to craft an image of themselves or someone else that they want the public to see – not what is actually happening with them.
