Questions:
1. No, it's not ethically acceptable to make these changes to a model's body because people should be accepted for how they are. Nothing about their appearance should be changed.
2. It's more ethically wrong to make these type of changes in the modeling industry because they are idolizing skinny women with perfect faces, bodies, and skin. They're giving regular women an unachievable goal.
3. Removing blemishes here and there and fixing a model's hair is acceptable, but nothing else should be changed about their faces or bodies.
4. Photojournalism values real situations, whereas the modeling industry is a big hoax full of fake women.
5. I think we are being shown these videos in order to understand what is morally accepted in the photographic industry, modeling companies have it all wrong.
6. Most women are seen as sex symbols in today's society, which is why they are made out to be perfect. It's horrible but it's true.
