Ukushintsha Izisusa Zokuhlinzwa Kwezimonyo

Unyaka nonyaka, izigidi zabantu ziphishekela ukuhlinzwa kwezimonyo. Kusukela ngo-2015, kube nokukhuphuka okucishe kube ngu-10% kunani eliphelele lezinqubo zokuhlinza nezingasebenzi. Ngenkathi iningi labantu abakhetha ukwenza lezi zinqubo liphakathi kweminyaka engama-35 nengama-50, inani elandayo labesilisa nabesifazane abasebasha abaphakathi kweminyaka eyi-18 nengama-34 bafuna ukuthuthukisa ukubukeka kwabo.

Ngokuvamile, isinqumo sokwenza inqubo yezimonyo sincike enhlanganisweni yezici zomzimba nezingokwengqondo. Kodwa-ke, kuyaqondakala kahle ukuthi ukuthandwa okwandayo kwemithombo yezokuxhumana kungaba yinto ehamba phambili ekunyukeni kokuhlinzwa kwepulasitiki ngezinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi ezithandwayo ezinjengeFacetune neSpapchat ezihola phambili.

Ngenyanga edlule, sishicilele ucwaningo oluhlola umthelela wohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Facetune2 ekwamukelweni kwabasebenzisi kokuhlinzwa kwezimonyo. Lolu hlelo lokusebenza lusebenza ngokuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bashintshe usayizi nokuma kwezici zobuso ezahlukahlukene kufaka phakathi ikhala, izindebe, amashiya, ne-jawline. Ngo-2017, uhlelo lokusebenza kwakuwuhlelo olukhokhelwa kakhulu e-Apple futhi lwalandwa izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-20 ngo-2018.

Esifundweni sethu, izifundo ezingama-20 ezineminyaka ephakathi kuka-18 no-34 ubudala zigcwalise uhlu lwemibuzo oluqinisekisiwe olubizwa nge-Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale futhi zacelwa ukuthi zisebenzise uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Facetune2 isonto elilodwa. Ngemuva kokusebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza, izihloko zathumela izithombe zazo zagcwalisa inhlolovo futhi. Sithole ukuthi bobabili abesilisa nabesifazane babenamathuba amaningi okucabanga ngokuhlinzwa kwezimonyo ngemuva kwesonto elilodwa nje besebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ukusebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza akubanga namthelela kuzilinganiso zokuzethemba ngesikhathi sokufunda. Lesi bekuyisifundo sokuqala esashicilelwa sikhombisa ubudlelwano obuqondile phakathi kwezinkundla zokuxhumana kanye nokucatshangelwa kokuhlinzwa kwezimonyo.

Ngaphezu kwe-Facetune, i-Snapchat ne-Instagram nazo zikhonjwe njengezingahle zibe nomthelela ekuthambekeni kokuhlinzwa kwezimonyo. Ipulatifomu ye-Snapchat izungeza cishe ngokuphelele izithombe futhi ingaphansi kwemibhalo ebhaliwe. Isimo esibonakalayo sokusebenza sesiholele abasebenzisi ekutheni bagxile ekubukekeni komzimba. Ukwengezwa kwezihlungi ezenziwe ngaphambilini eziguqula ithoni yesikhumba, ukuxegisa imibimbi, nokwengeza ukubukeka kobuso nakho kudale isifiso sokubukeka ngalezi zithombe ezihlungiwe. Lesi sifiso sivelile esimeni se- "Snapchat dysmorphia" lapho iziguli ziletha ama-selfies ahlungiwe kodokotela abahlinzayo ukukhombisa izinguquko abazifunayo abafuna ukuzizuza empilweni yangempela.

Enye yezinto ezikhathaza kakhulu imithombo yezokuxhumana esungula izindinganiso zamasiko amandla okwenziwa kwezinkambiso ezingezona ezingokoqobo. Njengoba abantu beziqhathanisa nalabo abachazwa ngokungenangqondo ngemithombo yezokuxhumana, kungabashayela ukuthi bakhe imibono engenzeki. Endabeni ye-Facetune ne-Snapchat, lokhu kungenziwa ngokusebenzisa izithombe ezihlelwe kakhulu nezithombe ezihlungiwe. Abasebenzisi balezi zinhlelo zokusebenza kufanele bazi ukuthi lezo zinguquko ezibonakala zilula ukuzenza kumafoni abo azihumushi izinguquko ezilula kangako — noma okungenzeka zenziwe ngokuhlinzwa. Njengodokotela abahlinzayo kufanele sazi ithonya elingaba khona lokuphazamiseka kwengqondo okuhlobene (isb.isifo somzimba, ukuphazamiseka kobuntu, ukukhathazeka okujwayelekile) okungenakulashwa ngokuhlinzwa.

Sifunda kabanzi ngeqhaza lezokuxhumana njengomshayeli wokufuna ukungenelela kwezimonyo. Kubalulekile ukuthi bobabili odokotela abahlinzayo kanye neziguli zethu bazi ngemiphumela engaba khona ehambisana nokulindelwa okungenangqondo okungavela ngokuqaphela noma ngokungazi ngokusuka kokuphakela izindaba noma ukufaka isihlungi sesithombe.
