The ralationship between an image and the real world, by Sarah

In my opinion the relationship between the image of a person compared to who one really is depends on ones character and on ones age.

Little children usually show who they really are. During growing up most people have the experience that in some situations it is much easier to hide their real opinion, thoughts or feelings for different reasons. Maybe one doesn’t want to touch a nerve with someone elses feelings or doesn’t want to be judged by everybody.
Depending on the selfesteem and maybe also on the cultural background of someone the real character of a person is more or less visible.
A lot of people aspire to meet the expectations which are defined by the society, like as a woman being thin, ambicious, successful at work and a good housewife and mother at the same time. Men should be athletic, successful, strong but also sensible with women and so on.
That makes people create different characters for puplic than they really are. For example they write on facebook that they had a nice an efficient workout but in reality they made a walk with the dog. In the end that becomes a circuit because other people who red that notice have the feeling they should also do more excercises.

In buisnesslife every company tries to sell their products. It depends on the kind of buisness how close the image of a company is to the real situation. A butcher is a butcher and nobody would make a commercial where lucky pigs just fall down and die with a smile on their face. Everybody knows how the work of a butcher looks like. In contrast to that people might think that in the fashion industry everything must be glamorous because this industry tries to make us think so. It is a important part of the fashion buisness to create a perfect and in most times unreal image of a product to beat the competition to make money.
