Translation:
It is becoming increasingly important that you are beautiful. Large companies dictate our beauty ideals through a bombardment of images such that they become increasingly unrealistic, says 'beauty researcher' Giselinde Kuipers against "De Morgen". That is why it is inevitable that we are increasingly concerned with what we look like and it needs to be done more and more perfectly. And we want to show who we are through our appearance: urban, young, hip or just not. "The worrying thing is that because of the great importance of beauty, people are going to adapt even more to the norm to belong to, to get that job, to hit the right places. Anyone who does not meet the beauty standard within the most privileged group with the best jobs and opportunities, will therefore not or increasingly difficult enter that group. " ¨Our bodies must be young and thin in particular. Thin, tight and young is what we prefer. The only small difference is that in southern countries they are even more intolerant of who is more plump. Especially French and Italians are very negative about that. " I see that we are comparing each other more and more and that this generates stress. Then it is not illogical that vulnerable groups and people can get into trouble. It becomes a rat race. How do you stop that? For the human tendency to distinguish itself is so great. Then all your wrinkles have been sprayed away. What then is the next? ¨ "Not only has beauty become even more important, it is the first time that we have so much say in it. hair dye, make-up and self-tanners have existed for a long time, but today there is much more, also lasting changes. Until now, most of your appearance was more or less fixed, now you can convert yourself. In addition, you hand yourself over to an industry that certainly does not mean the best for you. That is an unseen change. And the most privileged group can go a long way in this and thus have an even better chance to attain the best social positions. I wonder what this will do with our society.
