4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not? 

I think that it is not ethical because when people edit someone's appearance these images are put into womens head and they will try to achieve the look. I think that editing images and changes appearances really takes a toll on women.  

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

To me it's ethically wrong in all situations. There are a lot of ads that say like true beauty and stuff like that but they edit the shit out the women in those ads. Sometimes they edit the person to where they don't even look the same. 

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

The little changes are Ok. The little changes are like smoothing out the skin and getting rid of blemishes, fixing hair just small stuff that won't make a really big difference. When editing a photo of somewhere i think that when the person doesn't even look like the same person that's when you know you have over done it with the editing.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

Photojournalism is anything in the real world. Photojournalism doesn't do heavy editing but it's more about the natural beauty in life. Fashion photography is based on fashion. Fashion is still a form of art but it is mainly to sell products. Fashion photography also uses photoshop heavily and tells the public that an unrealistic body is more beautiful them the one you have.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

Fashion photography tells lies to the public and puts unrealistic beauty standards in out heads. Since they are putting in our heads we need to have this product to make us fit this unrealistic beauty standard we will go out and buy this product fit the standard. photojournalism is in its raw form. In photojournalism we use levels and cropping to enhance the image for viewing purposes only. Photojournalism is also to show the viewer what happened at that event in that moment. 

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?

I think that you are showing us these videos because this needs to be addressed and be need to stop being oblivious to these real life issues. I think that since you showed us these videos that we really need to give our selfs a reality checks.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys?

There are no guys in these videos because guys are not put under beauty expectations but women are. All these videos are targeted towards women due to the beauty standards we are under.
