Male beauty products

I’ve read an article in The Guardian by Priya Elan, which talked about the male cosmetic products which are surrounded by false information. The male cosmetic movement hasn’t been discovered now, cause already in the 1700s man were investing in them. The approach was just different. Instead of male beauty influencers, which are setting new trends, the cosmetics were more about economics. 


In my opinion, the overall message of the article is really meaningful. Putting time periods together and compering them showed the positive changes made over the centuries. Even though there is still some room for improvement I’m proud of the growth in society. I’ve never had any problem with men using beauty products or wearing makeup. I think it’s because of the social media. They winded mine and other people views and opinions. Mainly because of the huge amount of content, which talks about gender fluidity. I would even risk and say that social media were the first media to normalize and globalize modern masculinity.

    I think the 18th century was big on men using cosmetics: foundation, face powder, rouge.
    By the way, 'to wind' doesn't have the meaning you hoped for in your text ("They winded mine and other people views and opinions.")

Brands on Social Media

It’s not hard to notice that with the progress of social media, we’ve started using them in completely different ways, in comparison to the early beginnings. I would say at first, all platforms were for regular people. But nowadays every brand has an YT channel, an account on every social media and I don’t know in my opinion it’s unnecessary. I had so many eye roll moments when I scroll through Twitter and a Polish Netflix account tries so hard to be relatable.  I guess brands started to act like people and people started acting like brands. Influencers with brand deals which come with money are sometimes losing the humane part of their content. So, in that way companies are basing their content on relatability- cause some people like that. I mean I don’t care about what Netflix thinks about Pikachu, I want to know what movies are added next month. Examples:

Is fake news a serious problem in the contemporary world?

I think that fake news is a serious problem. We hear them every single day. They can spread all over the world in a couple of hours or even minutes. In that short amount of time fake news is becoming viral and hard to overcome. That’s way they are so dangerous. Many people can’t tell what is fake and what is real. We don’t realize how great influence fake news has on us. They change our perspectives or force us to believe in their idea of true. We should fight against fake news not treat them blankly. Maybe then they will become less harmful.
