Mercedes Ferguson on 11 Sep 13LINK: http://youtu.be/XpaOjMXyJGk This youtube video shows a Dove Campaign. The video shows how people view themselves (specifically woman) and how other people view them. The woman in the video are very harsh on themselves and how they look but when everyone else looks at them they see something different. I think that this video is a perfect example of civic engagement because DOVE is trying to spread a message to woman everywhere a problem that a lot of young and older woman deal with, and that is self esteem issues. This video is very uplifting and is the start to trying to inspire and uplift the spirits of woman all around the world.
