Social pressure and the wellbeing of the modern woman

All women have their own individual idea of what they want to achieve from life whether it be a high flying career or the perfect family unit. Most aspirations are forms of idealism and no matter how difficult these aspirations, the modern motivated woman is determined to almost work miracles achieve their ideals. This may sound  stereotypical or simply categorising women, but there are  ladies who want the perfect family and then heartbreakingly faced with infertility, there are the narcissists’ overly concerned with creating the perfect image seeking cosmetic treatments such as laser hair removal, anti wrinkle and cellulite treatments or even tattoo removal in an attempt to create a more conservative image. All these different ideals women have are triggered by the media, childhood upbringing and even work ethics.

The rapid development of technology and attention to perfection is making the ideals of women increasingly intense and this could be a cause of the increasing rates of depression appearing in young women. Whilst technological, economical and social advancement is positive the impact on the psychological and emotional condition of women is tragic. Despite publicity on pressures on young women being generated through television, magazines popular music the statistics of women suffering depression is still increasing.

In addition to all of these social pressures, women also are pressured into silence in regards to their emotional and psychological condition as women are increasingly fear for their jobs as the recent recession is making all employees more vulnerable. The pathos is there is no solution insight as the recession is slow in improving and women are only offered magazine articles and daytime TV programmes to bring awareness to the problem.
