Review of Literature
Regardless of who you are, every single person has a flaw. It is human nature to be imperfect; however, this perception of imperfection can cause a person to feel tormented by their own body. Body image is flawed mentally, emotionally, and physically. One could wish to become a more charitable person or one could wish to have the physique of Hercules. My analytical research will be focused on the physical aspects of body image and how the mind of a woman copes with pressure of appearing 'perfect' in this day in age. With technological enhancement tools such as photoshop, people, mostly women, are conned into believing that the model actually appear that way in reality. From a positive or negative body image, most women gravitates toward the negative aspects (Body Image). There is more to this negative body image than just mentality. It could be a result of psychiatric illness called 'Body Dysmorphic Disorder' (TeensHealth). It could be result from a preexisting disorder of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Costa). Regardless of the origin, there are many resources offered to aid those battling this negative shroud around their distorted perceptions of beauty (Burgard; Real Beauty Sketches).
