Definition of Beauty

                        Susie Orbach has made some very valid points in this article which tries to redefine the definition of beauty that we have today.  This article, even though it is specifically targeting women, I think relates to everyone.  Every time you turn on the TV there is a man or women that seems to be perfect without fault in the way of looks.  The media industry has beaten into our head the way we should look and the way we shouldn’t look.  Ninety-nine percent of the world looks the way the media says you shouldn’t look.  As one of the ninety-nine percent it is refreshing to see an ad that defies what the media wants us to believe.  The message of being happy with how God has made you is a lesson everyone should learn.  One of my favorite bands, Sister Hazel, sings a song called Change Your Mind that relates to the topic of being true to yourself.  At the end of the refrain the lyrics go “If you want to be somebody else, if you’re tired of fighting battles with yourself, if you wanna be somebody else change your mind.”  This song is a perfect example of what Orbach is trying to state in her article.  The moral of the story is to be happy with what God has given you.  You have the power to mold the definition of beauty to whatever you want.
