BODY
SHAMING
English presentation

Yuri Sales Mendes

 First of all: Body Shaming doesn't
happen from the person
themself, other people are
responsible for this.

Think about this: Imagine yourself

when you felt depressed and sad.
But after some time you found the

The strength to overcome

problem. Then you thought
your

concept to yourself :"Hey i should show the

world how I'm hapy about myself"

of Body then you post a picture of yourself

on a social midia. Well, we all know

Shaming what happened next aren't we?

 Trought out the history the concept of
"perfect" body changed with the centuries.

Those concepts, such as

the comcepts of a ideal
picture, are fated to
change, that's because
Let's talk we as humans are
changing ever time
about bodies
 Have you ever wondered what
“The Perfect Body” is?
Research has shown, that the
definition of the perfect body
has never stayed the same, and
has evolved drastically
throughout the years

Women have been expected to fit a

certain mold in many cultures and,
The "perfect having taken a deeper look into this, I
will be explaining what the “ideal”
body" body type was in the world
throught throughout different periods
history and how different the
of

history expectations became throughout time

passing
The Venus of Willendorf was, at that time,
the definition of beauty – strong, healthy
and well-nourished. One of the earliest
forms of art, Venus of Willendorf, the first
primitive symbol of an idealized woman. This
sculpture was found in 1908, and dates back
to 33,000 years ago. “It has been suggested
that she is a fertility figure, a good-luck
totem, a mother goddess symbol, or an
aphrodisiac made by men for the
appreciation of men.” A good body, meant
one that could carry children. Strength
meant beauty, as you could not seduce a
wild animal into sparing you as their dinner
Egyptians went through great measures to
keep a good appearance. It’s safe to say, the
pharaohs were incredibly vain, and perhaps
the modern world emulated some ideas
from Ancient Egypt, applying them to their
own standards. Egyptian clothing was quite
form-fitting, outlining every curve. It’s
funny, comparing our standards, and how
similarly superficial the Egyptian culture
must have been. At least we are not alone in
our judgemental thoughts.
Women’s bodies were not as highlighted in
ancient Greece, it was mostly about men. “A
woman was a beautiful, evil thing” according
to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. With this,
it is safe to say that men had it a bit harder,
to reach a certain standard.

As for the ladies, ancient

statues give us a deeper look
into how the standard
woman’s body appeared.
Beauty was defined by
symmetry and harmony
The Italian Renaissance aided in
the return of the appreciation of
pleasure, fertility, and youth. Even
artists like Raphael had women as
subjects, who were in fact quite
curvy, and were the epitome of
beauty.
No particular body part was emphasized
here. In short, their expectations included
the pale, frail, weak look, with a larger bust
and a plumper figure. But make sure to finish
off your look with a corset. As long as you fit
these criteria, you are a perfect Victorian-
era lady. Just don’t look too hearty or
strong, and you’re good to go.
 As you may have noticed throught
history may types of "perfect"
body types were created, all
made as an reflection of the
thoughts of their time.

What was all

that for?
HEY!
YEAH, IT'S ME. WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SO WHAT?
DUDE ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WHY DO YOU HUMANS CARE
ABOUT THIS?
IN THE END EVERY SINGLE OF
YOU WILL END UP LIKE ME
