Changes

'''Fashion industry values''' represent the [[moral]] degradation that occurs among a class of people who idolize physical beauty and [[materialism|material goods]] and uphold them above all else, especially moral integrity and [[intelligence]]. The [[fashion]] [[industry]] operates as a cult of the body. Many young people have been brainwashed into this mentality, with devastating results. [[Homosexuality]], serious [[drug abuse]], extreme [[promiscuity]], unfettered cosmetic surgery, and severe [[depression]] are rampant and take their toll upon the young people involved. Unfortunately, there are abundantly many cases where fashion industry values have led to the sad and untimely deaths of misguided young people.
