Too many people are not aware of the fraudulent nature of Photoshop and Grading, and this ignorance is causing immeasurable, undue harm to children and adults.

The inability to distinguish an airbrushed image from reality can increase the likelihood for a person to develop a perception of perfection disorder and eating disorder. We are bombarded with Photoshopped imagery that has created an unattainable image of perfection which is causing profoundly negative effects on our mental health. Photoshopped images have become main stream, not only is it expected but it is demanded by publicists; however, magazine editors don't believe they are deceiving readers because they assume the readers know the images have been altered in one way or another.

This report has found that far too many people do not know the extent to which photos are retouched. In an attempt to properly inform the public, this report urges new laws that demand that media provide the following warning along with retouched photos.

The inability to distinguish a grade symbol from real learning can increase the likelihood for a person to develop a perception that learning is a means to an end. We are bombarded with grading that has created a distorted vision of a good education which is causing profoundly negative effects on our mental health. Grading has become main stream, not only is it expected but it is demanded by administrators. Policy makers don't believe they are deceiving learners and their parents because they assume the learner knows how their learning has been reduced to a mere symbol.

This report has found that far too many people do not know the extent to which learning is being reduced. In an attempt to properly inform the public, this report urges new laws that demand that schools provide the following warning along with grades.

 

Retouching photos and reducing learning to a symbol conceals more than it reveals, and it is our responsibility to educate the public so they may properly insulate themselves from experiencing undue harm.
