In today’s society we as individuals conform to beliefs and norms of which we and others find appealing. As a young teenage girl, I know the idea of having tanned skin is what I base my morning routine around, I may not have time for breakfast but I find time for the important things like making sure I have a nice natural looking tan. Pretty sad I must admit. However I know for a fact I’m not the only girl, women, boy or man that is preoccupied with their appearance. We of today’s capitalist society are guilty of being a self-conscious culture.
