The Synthesis blog post on beauty

In the TED talk Cameron russell talk about image and how powerful it is and says, "Image is powerful.  But also, image is superficial.  I just transformed what you thought of me in six seconds.". one thing that was simillar between Cameron Russell's talk and the documentary Colour of Beauty is that they both talk about young girls and body image. Cameron Russell said “I found out that of the 13 year old girls in the United States, 53% don’t like their bodies.  And that number goes to 78% by the time that they’re 17.” and the Colour of Beauty said “I think sometimes it is so blatantly racist, it’s disgusting…You’re constantly under this scrutiny that you can’t do anything about.  This is the skin I was given, this is what I look like—I’m sorry.” which explains how the modeling industry has such a big effect on girls. and even in Lupita Nyong'o speech she said how a girl sent her a letter and the girl wanted to lighten her skin.
Some things that were the same in Lupita Nyong'o speech and the Colour of Beauty is that they both talk about the hardships of being in the entertainment and modeling industry. Also they talk about how they overcome problems and how they keep trying at being successful.
