The Issue at Hand
Teen girls are more afraid of gaining weight than they are of cancer, nuclear war, or losing a parent. (Rader Programs) I’ve been studying the effects that media (particularly, social media) has on body image and the effect body image has on individuals, specifically females, in correlation to their behavior (treatment by/of others) and other facets of their everyday lives (income, happiness, outlook, etc.). “We are all more obsessed with our appearance than we like to admit. But, this is not an indication of 'vanity'. Vanity means conceit, excessive pride in one's appearance. Concern about appearance is quite normal and understandable. Attractive people have distinct advantages in our society. “ (Mirror, Mirror) It’s not a surprise or a new concept that being pretty or the “perfect” weight is important to us. Concern with appearance is not only a modern trend in the United States, but every period of history around the globe has had it’s own standards of what is and is not considered beautiful or physically attractive. Even if being beautiful meant wearing a corset – causing breathing and digestive problems. Pain is beauty. |
