publics perception of beauty, or the perfect body, and lead to the need to be
thin.This can cause disorders in
the employees such as Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Anorexia and Bulimia
Nervosa, Binge Disorder.
Some Cheerleading Industries believe in “thin
and fit” for the cheerleaders. These women are in front of thousands of people which
could alter the public’s perception of body image.

Victoria’s Secret and Men’s Fitness, have models with
large amounts of sex appeal. This form of media puts stress on people to be
more like a sexy figure.

are all affected from different
types of media.
Celebrities and Clothing
Certain people look up to celebrities, such as singers or actors, as role models.
The materialistic items that celebrity has is admired by
the person. People can feel “unworthy” or not “ugly” if these high-end, expensive, designer
items are not obtained. They make social comparisons!
RelationshipsSocial networking
sites have changed the way people communicate.
Expressing words that are difficult to say in person are
easily done through typed sentences.
This could have the potential to either
help or harm a person’s feelings. It gives people less
face-to-face contact.
