Questions
4.No, I do not believe that it is ethically acceptable to change peoples appearance, because this makes other people insecure and makes a "image" that people want to be, when in reality they cannot ever reach it. People need to be happy with what they have, because what's more important is what is inside.

5.In any circumstance, this is a major sin of photography, and photo manipulation should not and is not acceptable on any levels. This is pertaining to people and objects. Now, the purpose of these photographers is to make them look "pretty", but in journalism it is not acceptable on any accounts, and this should and will be actively banned.

6.There are really no changes that are acceptable. However, saturating and MAYBE cleaning up acne an other SMALL blemishes. That is the absolute maximum! In journalism, you must capture the world for other people to determine and judge about themselves.  You cannot make an opinion for the viewer.

7.Fashoin photography is about making people feel insecure about themselves so they buy makeup to make them beautiful, where journalism photography is for telling the truth, and enabling people to make decisions for themselves.

8.Journalism photography is about telling the truth. But fashion photography is about convincing people that they can be as beautiful as the people in the photo if they just buy a certain product. They both convey a certain truth, as if you photoshop yourself, you might look as "beautiful" but not in real life.

9.These videos where to demonstrate that these sort of practices are unethical on any level, but certainly not in journalism photography. Fashion photography is a different beast, and those pictures should be taken with a grain of salt. Fashion is about advertising oneself, whereas journalism is about telling the world.

10.Guys are supposed to be masculine, and there are plenty of muscly guys, where the standard for girls is huge, I am surprised that they keep up! Legs, arms, face, hair, nails, and probably a bunch of other stuff I don't even know about are what girls have to do, and for guys, you are just glad they showed up.
