Many people argue unrealistic standards of beauty as set through celebrities and the media is a real problem for our society. Men and women are influenced by media to strive for idealistic versions of perfection. How could you help someone who is struggling with low self-esteem and sense of self-worth to see, through critical thinking, beyond the messages they are bombarded with on a daily basis?

My first thought is to prove how magazine editors and photographers can change the outside appearance of each individual through computer technology. It is a "Photo-Shope" technique, but isn't this approach a little to cliche? I mean, isn't this the first thing that every one tells someone when talking to a low self-esteem individual? How can you make someone see there self-worth if they don't realize what thier self-worth is? Or how can you make a person notice their self-worth when the person only comes up with excuses or reasons of why they aren't worth anything?
