Often times, things are not as it appears to be in the media. If no one tells the little girl staring at the screen constantly that it’s a fake reality, she will attempt to conform to a very short perfectly edited clip of perceived perfection. This is often how an individual’s perception of beauty gets skewed. There is more than one type of beautiful. Though not all aspects of beauty are embraced by the modern world.
III. The message of “Scars To Your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara
A. Scars To Your Beautiful is a song that has helped shed a positive light on the different kinds of beautiful that we already possess. The world constantly tells individuals that they’re not good enough. It is a reminder that you don’t have to fit into a certain mold to love yourself, and that you are beautiful just the way you are. You shouldn’t scar the beautiful that is inside you. You don’t ever have to change for anyone.
