Topic:  Media’s Effect on Body Image

2/20 –  dayofthegirl.org/girls-issues/negative-media-images-of-girls-and-teens/


This image pertains to my main argument that media has an effect on girls body
image.  The media is constantly subliminally telling girls that they aren’t pretty enough, skinny enough, or talented enough if they don’t look like the people on tv, billboards or in magazines.

2/24 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/428392.stm

This blog post and this article on BBC news both counter my argument that the media isn’t responsible for girls’ negative view of their body image or eating disorders.
