Lets not politicize this topic.. Vanity is something that we all suffer from and its part of human nature. Countries like the US may place more emphasis than other but that doesnt mean that are the cause of it.

I think there's a different quality now through media communication. Media expose us to an omnipresent image of beauty, idealized beyond physical possibility through photo manipulation etc.

Compared to those flat and flawless media beauties our real physical appearence looks a lot different, and when media tries to convince us that those media beauties are the real beauties and not how we really look, the result is that we're gonna feel very ugly in our bodies...
