Blog #12 The Dove Self-Esteem Fund

The topic I chose that was most interesting to me was self-esteem. It is important to me that all people regardless of their gender, age, out side appearance or whatever to have high self esteem and know that they are beautiful just exactly the way that they are. I found an organization that is actively trying to make girls have high self esteem. The organization is called the Dove Self-Esteem Fund. They create thought-provoking ads, confidence-building programs and messages that embrace all definitions of beauty. They even donate a dollar to a charity of your choice by entering your dove UPC number at their website. They are most famous for their commercials and advertisements with pictures of women of all different shapes and sizes in their bras and panties saying that they are beautiful. The society has so many assumptions as to what is beauty. It can really hurt one's self esteem. By showing all different types of women that are average and are not famous saying that they are beautiful, shows that real beauty is in the inside and is not what society makes it seem like. The Dove self esteem fund provides products to make us feel even better about ourselves and know that we are all beautiful. On their webpage they have picturs of little girls saying "i know my hair is beautiful" and it is fizzy, a little girl with freckles saying " i know my freckles are beutiful". The dove campaign has helped girls everywhere realize that they are beutiful just the way that they are.
