Implications - The importance that modern society places on body image largely originates on the runways and in the pages of fashion magazines that feature models of a similar physical type.

Entire industries exist to help consumers achieve this standard of beauty with products like push-up bras, diet pills, exercise tapes and cosmetic surgery.
