Modern & pop culture #01

1. Why do image, pictures and art have a powerful impact on us?

Ans: Image, pictures and art affects our perspective and the way we view things. They tend to portray what is ‘right’ and what is the ideal way of doing certain things, looking a certain way, thus leading to many human beings becoming very conscious of the way they look, do things or even, presenting themselves. Pictures and art may not be the truth, but they are portrayed to seem like one, and most of the time we never know whether it’s the truth or not, but all that being said, these three factors mentioned above does have a powerful impact on us, because at the end of the day, that’s how we subconsciously determine ourselves. -To be right, or wrong, truth or no truth.

2. Why is the modern world dominated by unrealistic images of the body?

Ans: It is very often emphasised in this society that we live in, the ideal image of ‘perfect’, the strong image and influence on having the ‘perfect body’. Particular parts of the body are always targetted as the main topic of talk. Thus, in my opinion, by creating unrealistic images of the body, it is a form of attracting attention of humans to pay attention on certain parts of the body.

In today’s society, whereby image and ‘perfect body appearance’ has become such an important and considerable issue, it is no wonder many individuals are going for plastic surgery. Therefore today’s modern world gets dominated by unrealistic images of the body.
