2 Identifying Characteristics of Internalized Oppression And how to be an Ally For the most part, centered on women's looks and the rewards associated with complying with ideal beauty standards, this is an excellent example of internalized oppression. Internalized racism, such as the perception that many Asians' single-lidded eyes are less beautiful than double-lidded eyes, may severely affect a person's physical and mental health. According to the social messages people take in and internalize as their own, cosmetic surgery is a prerequisite to becoming or being perceived as attractive. Using photographs of posters and advertisements from the Seoul, South Korea subway, the authors provide a theoretical framework that may be used to understand better-internalized oppression from a geographical and political perspective in that country. Beauty ads profoundly impact how women and girls see their bodies because they promote an ideal of beauty that is both unrealistic and insensitive to differences in appearance between cultures and individuals. For example, many young women and girls believe that they may improve their economic status by changing their appearance because of the messages they've received about the value of their bodies. Also, women who conform to standards of beauty are less likely to feel alone, to be socially inexperienced, to have fewer sexual partners, to be married, and to marry men from higher socioeconomic backgrounds ( Mckay et al., 2018). Lastly, women who fit the stereotype of beauty are also more likely to succeed professionally, rise through the ranks, and earn more money. Unfair comparisons to others, such as celebrities or classmates, sometimes trigger body dissatisfaction. I would encourage her to pay attention to the times when she starts to evaluate herself in relation to others. Every body is different, and she has to remind herself that there is no "ideal" look. In addition, I think it's important for her to become self-aware of the unpleasant emotions that stem from her perception of her physical appearance. Ideas come to us on autopilot

3 and pass through our minds unquestioned a lot of the time. When she looks at herself in the mirror, she should be conscious of the words that go through her head. Reference
