Entry #9: Power of Media

   In today's society, the power of media is mentally consuming all of its users. While on social media I have noticed how famous social media females get worshipped on their pages. It is sad, because the other females on her page will comment saying, "GOALS," meaning one of their goals in life is to look like that females. In my opinion, I disagree with people drooling over someone else, praying their bodies will become what is worshipped on social media. 

The guys commenting also have an influence on what some females believe is necessary for a male to find them attractive. This has also led guys to desiring someone like the social media "whores". But obviously if they follow them on social media, but have never met them how exactly can a male tell what their instagram or twitter goddess is "like"? That was a trick question, because it not always possible to get a full grasp of someone's personality through social media. One thing is possible though-body image. This is the only for sure thing males see when they make statements pertaining to having a girlfriend that is "like" (which really means looks like) the social media goddess. It is completely okay to admire other people's beauty or lifestyles, but a line should be drawn when people can't focus or be happy with their own lives because they are too wrapped up into their social media "GOALS".
