Beauty. Fashion. Makeup. These hold sway over many people’s lives, playing an important role in how they are viewed by others, and how they view themselves. Yet little thought is given to the negative impact they can have on a person’s life. The desire to fit in and follow current beauty trends can often result in doing untold harm to both a person’s body and their mind.
美容、時尚、化妝,對許多人來說很重要,影響著他們如何被他人看待以及如何看待自己。然而,人們很少思考這些議題可能造成的負面影響。追求合群和跟隨時下的美容潮流往往會對一個人的身心造成無法預料的傷害。
Over the course of several weeks, the Grade 9 Global Learners learned about many of the health risks associated with beauty and fashion. Their research into several topics related to these helped them learn how to better protect themselves from endangering their health and to understand that everyone is beautiful in their own way. They learned how many of the practices followed can lead to both severe physical and mental consequences, whether by using cosmetics containing poisonous chemicals or by developing eating disorders. To help spread awareness of these risks, they created this magazine, whose articles discuss some of the most common risks posed by both new and long-lasting trends.
在九年級的國際英語課程中,學生們學習了許多與美容和時尚相關的健康風險。他們對這些主題進行的研究,幫助他們更好地保護自己的健康,並理解到每個人都有自己的美。學生了解到,許多人遵循的做法可能導致嚴重的身體和心理後果,無論是使用含有有毒化學物質的化妝品,還是患上飲食失調。為了提高對這些風險的認識,學生們一起完成了這本雜誌,透過文章討論一些由新舊潮流帶來的常見的風險。
