Why is it wrong for mass media to promote a specific beauty standard?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I have to write this persuasive letter for school, about why its wrong for commercial and mass media to promote a specific beauty standard like one body shape, long hair, thin, tall, etc...
So anyway, I have to come up with like min three arguments to why they shouldn't do that. I already have one: that it causes disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia, Body Dysmorphic Disorder...
So now I need two others, and I know the things I wrote about already are kind of the only good arguments, but does anybody maybe have any ideas about what else I can write about? Thank you (:

Why? Because what happens to all the others that don't fit into that stupid standard?

Because they shame the other standards in order to do so.

You mentioned the eating disorders, so it appears as though you are talking about why it's not ok for them to tell people that healthy is attractive, I apologize since I jumped the gun and commented on how the new "Fat is beautiful" standard is being forced down our throats but at the expense of shaming healthy people.

This doesn't appear to be the info you are looking for.
