Media is constantly telling us that there is something more, something better out there that makes us better. They tell us we aren't pretty enough or skinny enough or smart enough but if we do/buy their product it will make us better. They tell us to hide our "faults" and strive for the impossible but they do it in a way that we will believe them. There is always someone better than you and if you do what they tell you, they will want to be like you. They tell us these things to gain more profit and don't care how they leave people feeling, as long as they buy their product.
