It is important to recognize that everyone has the right to their own

unique appearance and that there is no one "ideal" form of beauty. It

is crucial to promote body positivity and self-acceptance, rather than

engaging in the toxic behavior of discriminating between the beautiful

and the ugly. This is especially important for young people, who are

particularly vulnerable to the messages about beauty promoted on

social media (Kuyper et al., 2017).

In conclusion, social media has had a significant impact on our

perception of beauty. The promotion of a narrow ideal, the enabling

of a lynch culture, and the accessibility of plastic surgery have all

contributed to the pressure to conform to a certain standard of

beauty. It is crucial to promote self-acceptance and

body positivity, rather than engaging in harmful

behavior that can have negative consequences

for both individuals and society as a whole.
