    The document discusses how beauty standards portrayed in the media can negatively impact people's mental health and self-esteem. It describes how photoshopped images of celebrities create unrealistic ideals of beauty that are nearly impossible to attain. These standards promote an unhealthy idea that skinny equals healthy and cause people to internalize that their worth is based on their appearance and conforming to narrow beauty traits often determined by gender and race. However, the document notes that society is beginning to move past some of these stereotypes and embrace more inclusivity.
