![Page 8: Is being beautiful important ?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813e7a550346895da8a10b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why do we believe some things are beautiful, and others are not?
In America (and China), advertising tells people what is beautiful.
Do YOU decide what is beautiful?
What is the goal of advertising?
![Page 9: Is being beautiful important ?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813e7a550346895da8a10b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The goal of advertising is to SELL things.
But why would you buy this stuff if you felt beautiful already?

The goal of advertising is to make you feel ugly. Then you will spend your money. . .

If you feel beautiful, you will not buy
beauty products. You will not need their help.
So advertising must make
you feel ugly. This is why
they use “supermodels.”

Advertisers choose women who are extremely thin, have had plastic surgery, or have features that 95% of women do not have. And you look at them and think, “why don’t I look like that?” NO ONE looks like that, unless they have surgery, spend lots of money on beauty, or do not eat.
The advertisers win when you feel ugly or fat.

Why is a thin woman beautiful and a muscular man handsome?
Because women are told to be weak. Thin women are weaker than big women. A man who wants a thin
girlfriend wants a weak girlfriend. He is AFRAID of women with power.

Thin does not mean beautiful.
This is a myth used to make women weak.
Chinese culture uses this myth to destroy women’s power, just
like it once used the myth of bound feet being beautiful.
Advertising uses this myth.
And the women in the ads are getting thinner and
thinner.
