Positive Body Image

I think body image is a big issue with some young women,and some of them don't have a positive body image. I think this is a big issue because the media puts an unrealistic image of beautiful looking women. For example someone may see something in the media that makes them feel less of themselves.
In this picture she is seeing herself  bigger than what she actually is.
 This shows me that the media has her thinking she needs to be a size "0"
in order to be appropriate to society. Positive body image is something that should be dealt with because some things are unrealistic.
The media makes some girls think that wearing makeup all the time and wearing pretty clothes makes you beautiful. Media does these things by playing commercials such as maybeline commercials , having the women look as if they have smooth skin.
As you can see she looks like she has the best skin you can ever have.







Heres another example of how Media distorts reality. It amazes me that technology can make things disappear. It amazes me because in a Jennifer Aniston picture she had glasses and then in the photo on the cover of the magazine she did not have them in her hand.Technology makes people feel that it is easy to get rid of things you dont like. Its not good because people dont represent themselves in that way.

  1. Awesome, Tracy! What examples do you have where the media makes women feel like they should be insecure about themselves. For example -- why might the woman in this picture think she is bigger than she actually is?
