Magazines and TV gets models to appear in their programs or articles/photo shoots, Models with slender bodies and almost perfect faces. A normal citizen reading these often creates jealousy unconsciously. They try to copy, if not they would try to compare themselves to what they see. Often times after reading a magazine, women (in particular) develop negativity in them. When they try to look at the mirror and what they see is far from the magazine cover they saw. They start to notice their own skin and feel ugly about themselves which is wrong.We are the ones who create what world or environment we want to stay in.
