| − | '''Fashion industry values''' represent the [[moral]] degradation occurring 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]], [[drug abuse]], [[promiscuity]], sex trafficing and enslavement, unfettered cosmetic surgery, and severe [[depression]] rampantly take their toll upon thosee young people involved. There are abundant cases where fashion industry values have led to the tragic and untimely deaths of misguided young people. Although not prevalent to the same degree in Japan, a similar phenomenon is observable via the country's "Idol Culture", which was infamous for often marketing underage girls as sex objects. | + | '''Fashion industry values''' represent the [[moral]] degradation occurring among a class of people who idolize physical beauty and [[materialism|material goods]] and uphold them above all else, especially moral integrity and [[intelligence]].
