through the anthroscope

DateWednesday, July 20, 2011 at 3:45 PM

 

i think it's safe to say that a lot of us have run into body issues — on our own or through our friends' and families' experiences.

we've talked a bit before about how culture is learned and identities are created, so it's no surprise to see that sometimes the overt and subliminal messages we receive aren't accurate. 

it's hard to say where all of these digitally-created false ideals are leading us and i don't want to postulate on
something i'm not fully read up on. so i won't. in other news, who's already bought shares in adobe photoshop?
