When we went out of the patient’s room, I felt a little strange so I asked my buddied nurse: "Do we need to watch patient eat there pills before we leave". She said: "This patient has been here for a long time. I know she will eat the medications". After my buddied nurse told me her reason, I didn’t say anything, but now I feel very sorry.

The images of women presented in adverts represent absolute flawlessness, which can never be achieved, but is just a construction of the actual model and not the model herself.

Here, we have a typical Dolce and Gabbana and Calvin Klein advert,
