Imagine being put on an underdeveloped, uncivilized island where there is no television, no Internet, and no link to the outside world. All of the information obtained is through the people in the small, island community. The idea of “perfect” and “beautiful” does not play a factor in the minds of the young people through any social media and is collected through firsthand experiences. This was actually the setting for a study done in May of 1999. The idea of “beauty” on the island of Fiji was…
