image in america




Is American really obsessed with image you might ask, but the question is you and the people around you obsessed with image? If this applies to you, it is probably true. America’s image of a person is represented by wealth and health. A person that does not fall into this category is wether not considered an American or left trying to get to that point of so-called beauty. This image is found everywhere you see. It can be posted on the internet, found in a magazine, seen on television, almost everywhere you look, even in the mirror. Many people are judged and creedists by others that they start thinking of themselves. They think they are ugly and no longer want to be part of the group.
This makes a very good connection to a book we read in English class. The books name is Cyrano De Bergerac. It is a play about a man named Cyrano that is in love with a woman that he he thinks is too good for him. This relates to image because Roxane, Cyrano’s love, loves another man that is better looking than him, which relates to us because we try to like only the attractive people.
