THE HONEST PEOPLE CLUB.
That was the question that came to mind as I reviewed another photo shoot. I observed various poses that the model had taken and noticed a forced smile on her lips.
It is a promotional marketing idea that big production companies use to get the customer associate the product with happiness. With the upcoming of social media platform this marketing idea now gets used by everyone to make sure everybody thinks they are truly happy and enjoy their life.
I believe this creates an issue for the younger generation, who are growing up with social media as their primary means of communication. They are bombarded with images of people with broad smiles, and this gives them a false impression of life. This distorted view can make them feel isolated in their sadness and believe that they are the only ones not happy with their situation.
"The Honest People Club" is a group of individuals who are not smiling. Some appear sad, while others seem mad. This club narrates the story of individuals who reveal their true selves for a change.
