Beauty, Capitalism, and Patriarchy

It is clear that capitalism dominates American culture. All advertisements are sexually charged, urging both men and women to never stop "improving" your body and looks. The pressure to use  these "self-improving" products, surgeries, and workouts. This shallow value system causes many man and women to value beauty over all other attributes, though there are significantly higher pressures for women to be physically attractive The beauty industry exploits people's insecurities for profit. They  never stop pointing out flaws, causing people to continuously pour their money into the beauty industry as everyone chases an unattainable image.
