The article Simulacra and Simulations by Jean Baudrillard explains that in today's society our perception of reality is distorted and not real. Today many models bodies are reshaped or photoshopped in pictures to create an ideal figure made for people to compare themselves with. Though these models are incomparable because they are hyperreal or fake. Photoshop is used to hide imperfections on peoples bodies that everyone has. This creates eating disorders and expensive surgeries and products that people do or buy to achieve the images that are being photoshopped and labeled as perfection. Even most of the reality television shows we watch today are scripted and not real. So does this mean photoshop is the new reality? How far will photoshop go?
