    Today, 8 June 2023. I am an IB Language and Literature student.

    Here, I will explain my


    Individual Oral that brings up a Global Issue that everyone calls Beauty Standard, but
    more specifically the idea of Unrealistic Beauty Standard Lead to Lower Self-Esteem.
    The reason why I choose this global issue is that numerous people cannot feel their
    own abilities and beauty. It is true that the beauty standard that all people are convinced
    of in a society gives people a narrow perspective and compares themselves to others.
    For doing this IO, I will elaborate on two of the works that depict the unrealistic beauty
    standard that leads to low self-esteem.

    The first is a literary work composed by Anne Marie, the Beautiful Song. In 2021, she
    released this song with many emotions shared with the audience. For the second work,
    I chose The Tall Girl Movie directed by Nzingha Stewart. She produced this movie in
    2019. In this extract, I will be looking for the specific scene where Jodi, the main
    character in that movie, was feeling so bad about herself being tall. At first, she is
    confident about the difference she has, however, after passing many dramatical things,
    she is down about herself. In this oral, I’ll be exploring the question “In what way do an
    unrealistic beauty standard and community opinion lead to low self-esteem?”.

    I will start with the first literary work first which is a song lyric by Anne Marie titled
    Beautiful. Wrote by Anne Marie, Beautiful is the depiction of how she expresses her
    feelings. In this song, Anne Marie wanted to give a message to the audience, telling
    them that they are beautiful no matter the conditions. Anne Marie stated that she felt the
    same way as how the audience received the message. Beautiful is all about not feeling
    great but accepting it. The lyrics tell us about a process of self-acceptance, where an
    individual felt insecurities at the beginning, and accepted her condition after all that
    happened to her. She finally realizes her beauty in every body of human beings.

    The first line in the song is I woke up, look in the mirror today, yeah Got so many things
    that I wanna change, and Everybody's got something to say. The words I woke up tell
    the audience that Anne has just awakened from her sleep, and started to look in the
    mirror which brought the audience's imagination related her activity in her daily. Got so
    many things that I wanna change, this phrase delineates how she started to feel as if
    she was frustrated with herself or even ashamed of some parts of her own. The
    unsatisfied feelings slowly eat her mind, crawling all over her body. The I wanna change
    phrases described Anne Marie’s intention to improve herself.

    Everybody's got something to say, But that's just who we are. The second line is
    describing judgment, criticism, hatred, and opinion towards Anne Marie. The line
    suggests that people's tendency to have something to say about others is a natural part
    of human nature. It acknowledges that we all have different perspectives and
    viewpoints, which often leads to diverse opinions being expressed. Essentially, it
    highlights the fact that people have a tendency to voice their thoughts or judgments
    about others, whether positive or negative.

    Move to the next line, I found myself looking again. Wondering why my body doesn't
    look like them. Know it might sound weird but I refuse to pretend. And then you
    probably think the same every now and again. I got more than all these scars. I got
    flaws and broken hearts. I don't like this stranger staring at me, yeah. The process
    throughout the song was
