In Response to Josh’s Post on “The Ideal Body & Retouched Celebrity Photos”.


This was a key example from the discussion on Tuesday in which we discussed normal and deviant. The touching up of photos example runs a very fine line between both topics considering that this touching up creates the image of this perfectionism as normalcy, thus creating a society in which deviancy in the sense of physical appearance is almost guaranteed. This creates a place where even those who come close to achieving this so called “normalcy” obsess over it, sometimes even using deviancy to try and get to the perfectionism known as normalcy. Instead of obsessing over this false normalcy and creating false expectations shouldn’t we just focus on what is; and not judge only judge it all on two opposite sided of perception without having an in-between?
