4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not? I do not think it is ethically right in any way, but thats how it is in this business, and thats so sad to me. You're basically changing someone into something unrecognizable, just so they can be "beautiful" to society.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? I think in a situation where it would be even more wrong to do this was if the model in the picture didn't know that they were doing this to her. I'm assuming that the models in these shoots have some sort of clue what would go on behind the scenes after these pictures were taken, but I could be wrong, the could not know what is happening to them, which would make this even more sad about the world we live in now.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I would say that no changes are ok, especially dramatic ones. Ones that I'm a little more ok with are minor things, like a little teeth whitening, and things like that.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. In fashion photography, it is sadly, a little more expected for things like this to happen. Photojournalism, however, is supposed to be real, its about the truth, and while what is happening to these women is the truth, their appearances are definitely not.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? Like I said before, photojournalism is real, and about capturing the real beauty of things, and fashion photography is all about those changes

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
I think you are showing us these videos to show what is acceptable in our own minds and whats not

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???
I don't think any of these videos are about guys because women, to the fashion world, are toys. people believe that there are so many things that need to be "fixed" about them,which is really sad.
