Hi guys, my name is Alyssa and I'm gonna be talking about image manipulation.
00:03 - 00:06
Image manipulation is used in fashion magazines,
00:06 - 00:08
beauty advertisements as well as everyday use.
00:08 - 00:11
It could be such as easy such as editing
00:11 - 00:14
an Instagram photo or a fashion magazine like Vogue.
00:14 - 00:16
They are manipulating these photos to make their models fit the
00:16 - 00:20
beauty standards and erase any blemishes and imperfections they may have.
00:21 - 00:25
According to the article, the ethics of photo manipulation by Noah Berlatsky,
00:25 - 00:28
he explains that the reason for photo manipulation is
00:28 - 00:29
and how his wife used to be a model
00:30 - 00:31
as the A ma says
00:32 - 00:32
a
00:32 - 00:32
large
00:33 - 00:36
body of literature links exposure to media propagated
00:36 - 00:40
images of unrealistic body image to eating disorders.
00:40 - 00:41
But in the article,
00:41 - 00:44
it states how women should know that these photos are manipulated
00:44 - 00:46
and how it should not have that much effect on them.
00:46 - 00:46
In
00:47 - 00:47
this photo,
00:47 - 00:51
you can see that Kourtney Kardashian has edited herself to fit the beauty standards
00:51 - 00:54
on the left and that's what she is actually looking like on the right
00:54 - 00:55
and in this photo on the left,
00:55 - 00:58
you can see the photo that they took in the photo
00:58 - 00:59
shoot and on the right is how they edit it.
00:59 - 01:00
In the magazine
01:01 - 01:02
definition.
01:02 - 01:06
Vogue Glamour magazine utilizes digital I image manipulation to
01:06 - 01:09
enhance the appearance of their models in their publications.
01:09 - 01:11
However, critics contend such as
01:11 - 01:14
these practices perpetuate unrealistic body standards
01:14 - 01:17
and could potentially lead to negative
01:17 - 01:20
body image perception among its readers in their defense for retouching,
01:21 - 01:22
they want to um
01:22 - 01:23
keep it and
01:24 - 01:26
keep it aesthetic and follow the norm. And
01:27 - 01:28
within the fashion industry,
01:29 - 01:32
this debate underscores the eth ethical
01:32 - 01:34
considerations surrounding image manipulation in media,
01:34 - 01:37

01:37 - 01:41
and the responsibilities of media towards their audience.
01:42 - 01:47
The values several values are at stake in debating surround
01:47 - 01:51
in debate surrounding image manipulation in media. Authenticity is per
01:52 - 01:52
I I oh

01:53 - 01:55
it involves providing genuine and
01:55 - 01:58
unaltered representations of individuals and fashion
01:58 - 02:01
integrity is another crucial value.
02:01 - 02:04
Emphasizing the importance of upholding professional integrity and
02:04 - 02:07
honesty in the creation of presenting visual content
02:07 - 02:11
and ensuring that ethical standards are maintained. Diversity
02:12 - 02:16
is a significant consideration as it pertains to promoting
02:16 - 02:20
diverse representation of beauty and challenging narrow beauty standards
02:20 - 02:21
in the fashion industry.
02:21 - 02:23
Finally, responsibility as it
02:24 - 02:26

02:26 - 02:28
potential impact of their imagery and so
02:29 - 02:30

02:42 - 02:43
principles.
02:44 - 02:47
What do these principles say about the situation?
02:47 - 02:51
Authenticity is the central ethical dilemma that revolves around balancing
02:52 - 02:54
the desire to present aspiration,
02:55 - 03:00
aspirational imagery within the responsibility and portray authenticity.
03:00 - 03:04
