Justin Beiber

In the first video we watched as a class about Justin Bieber, they talked about his Photoshop incident with a Calvin Klein photo-shoot that he did. People were saying that the photos were clearly photo shopped making parts of his body larger and adding more muscles. This was a big controversial problem and caused a lot of attention in the media. In the second video we watched of a women explaining to us the situation with the Justin Bieber photo shopping she also explain the scenario and how Justin and his legal team handled the situation.  A lot of people questioned the cultural response to Justin's fake picture allegations. Both of these videos claim that they believe the main reason for the controversy over the pictures were due to the fact that Justin and his legal team denied any such allegations. The videos we watched both said how almost everyone in the media today is photo shopped to shape any flaws into perfect human beings when finished. With Justin saying the photos were not photo shopped at all made him look ridiculous. This also made him look a little insecure with feeling the need to lie about the original picture instead of having self love for the way he looks. This is also a big controversy in the media because for quite a long time it's been a major thing for women to be photo shopped to fit beauty standards but never really men. We judge men for their  package size and make them feel like less of a man if it doesn't meet our standards. Women stress about wanting to be smaller while men stress about wanting to be bigger. The media makes it seem as if its acceptable for women to be photo shopped but not the men.
