While watching “Women’s Ideal Body Types Throughout History” it really amazed me how such varying body types were accepted at certain times in society. The “ideal” woman’s body type has taken on a number of forms over the past 3,000 years. This is partially due to the media who constantly either bashes or praises certain body types. They put high stress on girls in their teenage years through adulthood which makes them alter their body figures to fit society’s standards. However, beauty standards are constantly changing, especially for women. Every body type has at some point been “ideal; while this may sound like bad news, it’s actually immensely freeing to realize it’s pointless to make your body fit in with a trend. Your body is your body which means it’s not meant to be altered to fit a fashion statement. Many people who watched this video completely looked past the true meaning behind it and rather just observed the models. This shows that many people in society today are able to see beyond just the physical attributes of a woman while others are only focused on the woman’s image. As humans, everyday we seek to find and change the wrong and bad qualities of our physical image in order to be accepted and liked by society. But who are we fooling? We spend so much time preoccupied with the constant changing trends that we lose sight on our growing obsession with physical perfection. We should always remember that yesterday’s ideal standard will evolve into something completely different tomorrow. Since the ideal body has been changed so much throughout the years there is no doubt that it will continue to change in the years to come. There will never be a constant standard that every women in the world is trying to reach simultaneously. In addition, instead of trying to achieve this so called “perfect” body type, women should try and obtain a regular healthy lifestyle and body type that fits their own individual “ideal” standard.
