Finding acceptance seems to be a vital factor in today's world. It has the power to motivate people to make big changes in the way they think, live, dress and look. We see the biggest changes in beauty and fashion because American media influences people to be more like “perfect” stereotypes, like celebrities. Following these stereotypes gives a sense of belonging to people who have been ridiculed all their lives, but fail to realize that a person should be free to look and dress however they choose. The mad infatuation with beauty and fashion has led people to take irrational measures of change by undergoing numerous surgical procedures, developing eating disorders and becoming emotionally dysfunctional. We live in a world where judging a person's outward appearance comes before knowing their inner being. Beauty and fashion have become an addiction for so long that we don't know how to stop judging people by their appearances. Changing the way people perceive others won't be easy, but recognizing that our world is full of unique people, very different in shape, size and appearance, will make a big difference. Everyone must realize that true beauty lies in a liberal society and that self-expression allows people to be freely independent. Stereotypes should be eliminated because they are not beneficial to a person's life. The spread of criticism of beauty and fashion must be stopped because it creates problems for people's emotions. No one should be questioned for his unique features and choice of style because these things do not challenge a person. By accepting differences between people, a chain reaction can occur within communities and perhaps continue to evolve the world. The difference between people shows... in the center of the card...as easy as communities, the diffusion of self -expression can lead to evolutionary change in the world. Changing the world's mentality is the ultimate goal and by working together this change can be possible. The answers to life's problems are not found in stereotypes and determining the personality of others. We are all more than the sum of our physical parts and we must respect and recognize the differences within our world, to become a more united society.
