- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I hate to break it to you, but photos are NOT real. There is not a single photograph in history that wasn't altered in any way. A photograph is not an objective reality and it never was.Bubble? For pete's sake, you are really taking an odd exception to this - it's a simple notification that an image has, in fact, been Photoshopped and is. not.real.
You want unreality? False advertising? Who's actually pining and mooning for a bubble here?
If parents pass on their kids their skewed view of the world, no amount of labels will ever change that. But that's exactly what I'm trying to say. You're saying that it's aimed to help 12 year olds, but those are already taught by their parents. They see their mother puts tons of make-up on her face, dresses nicely, tries to loose weight over and over... You seriously believe a label would combat that in any way? Ok, you want to raise awareness, but then the target audience are those mothers (not kids), which we agreed on that they already know the photos are photoshopped and not real. So putting a label "photoshopped" under a photo is useless.Your assumption is that the parents know to teach their kids these lessons. How many generations of children started smoking because their parents smoked?
That's why you don't teach your kid to avoid only certain stuff you explicitly name for them, you rather teach them to think for themselves and to be able to judge the situations they come across. That's usually the difference between good and bad parenting.Just going to throw this out there too...the best parents in the world can’t screen and judge every piece of media their child sees. It’s impossible.
This is a measure that costs nothing...if it makes an advertising agency uncomfortable, maybe they should be.
Sure. You’re also insinuating that being a great parents allows kids to develop their full abstract thinking ability earlier than it actually does. Those pathways are still developing right through college.
I work with kids and parents daily, and great parents still have kids who make bad decisions. It’s normal.
I don’t understand the significant kick back though...seriously...it costs them nothing. Y’all are saying that everyone knows anyways. So why be upset that they have to label it?
