LE COMPARATIF
Le comparatif en anglais sert à comparer deux personnes, deux objets ou deux situations. Il permet de dire qu’un élément est plus ou moins grand, lourd ... qu’une autre. Le mot than signifie « que » et est indispensable dans une comparaison. Il peut être enlevé dans les comparaisons sous-entendues ou implicites. Certains adjectifs sont irréguliers ! Attention à "better", "worse" et "further". Pour dire « moins… que », on utilise less … than ; Pour dire « aussi… que », on utilise as … as.

THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON YOUNG PEOPLE
Social Media and Self Image - Egocentrism
Echo and Narcissus, by John William Waterhouse, 1903, adapted by Dan Cretu, 2015
This document is a parody of the myth of Narcissus and Echo. In the myth, Narcissus looks at his reflection in the water and falls in love with it. Here, the phone replaces the reflection, like a screen where he looks at his own image.
The second document is the profile of a teenager who only posts pictures of himself and his body. He posts a lot, and it looks like he may be becoming like the character shown in the painting. Maybe he is getting a little bit obsessed with posting and showing his body.
He probably wants to look like what he thinks are beauty standards. Comparing yourself, showing your body on social media and being obsessed with it, can be seen as superficial or even narcissistic. These documents criticize the fact that society revolves around social media and online validation.

Facetune Is Poisonous for Our Self-Image
Editing apps - Facetune
“Almost all of us have retouched our photos at least once. I’m definitely
guilty — I’ve edited my fair share of pimples out of my photos. But apps like Facetune — often used to heavily edit waistlines and facial features — become poisonous to our body image when our online selves start to differ from the faces and bodies we have in real life. Facetuning feels great at first. I can give myself a free nose job. I can cut off four inches from my waist without going to the gym. I have always had big cheeks, and I can slim down my face in under 30 seconds. I can see why people use and love the app, but the longer I spend editing my cheeks to be slimmer, the bigger they look to me in the mirror, and the more I dislike how I look in my untouched photos. In the long term, it destroys self-esteem. I could spend that time focusing on the features that I love about myself.” Kylie Smith, Washington Square News, March 25, 2019
(Note : FaceTune is an editing app that allows individuals to reshape their bodies and change their features)
This document is an article about Facetune. It is an app that allows individuals to reshape their bodies and change their features. Our document explains why retouching our pictures can negatively affect our self-image.
Today, many teenagers use retouching apps. In a society that values muscular bodies, apps like Facetune seem like a real solution. Young generations are influenced by social media, and influencers often show a fake appearance.
From a moral point of view, we think it is not a good idea to change your personal appearance. Using these apps can be harmful because you are hiding your insecurities instead of accepting or dealing with them. The risks are that it can destroy self-esteem and create more insecurities.
Filters
The documents show two muscular men with a “before and after” picture. In the “after” photo, their muscles look much bigger and more defined.
Gym culture and social media can motivate teenagers to work out, but they can also encourage unhealthy comparison and low self-esteem. Teenagers are being lied to / misled because bodybuilders often use filters, and not everything we see on social media is real. Using these edited images can easily give a false idea of what a good body looks like, especially to young people.
This can affect their self-esteem at a young age. It is not good to watch this type of content because it is mostly fake. These documents show that it is important to stop believing everything you see on social media, because it does not reflect reality.
Want your muscles to look bigger ? Use Photoshop !
