Airbrushing Should Be Banned
Good morning/afternoon class.
The topic that we have chosen for our debate is “That airbrushing should be banned.”
We as the affirmative team believe that this statement is true.
The points that I will be talking about today is that manipulating images can lead to self-esteem issues, the different types of disorders that photo shopping could lead to and the extensive cost of airbrushing images.
To start off, the deceptive imagery of airbrushing can lead to major self-confidence issues.
• Even though younger girls are exposed to many different types of media and images, the younger generations are not usually able to tell the difference between normal photographs and air-brushed images.
• This means that over time, young women are increasingly seeing and comparing themselves with images which are neither realistic nor authentic.
• This can lead to severe self-esteem issues.
Images that are altered and manipulated to give an impossibly thin look add to everyone’s insecurities about their bodies. This is exactly the reason why airbrushing should be banned.
Secondly, these diminishing advertisements can sometimes lead to eating disorders.
• Some people are particularly vulnerable to this pressure to be perfect and risk developing an eating disorder such as anorexia or being bulimic.
• This is precisely why we're calling for the media to get real and show us bodies in all their gorgeous, natural glory.
• While it's true that most of us are aware that the majority of women in adverts have been airbrushed to within an inch of their life, sadly, the same can't be said for younger girls, who, from a very early age are constantly being bombarded with digitally altered images without realising just how much they've been manipulated.
Do we really want our precious children to change who they are so that they can fit in with society’s perception of perfection?
This highlights why any form of enhancing an advertisement should be banned.
Finally, I will
