SELF-ESTEEMa. “Women’s magazines are full of articles urging that if

they can just lose those last twenty pounds, they’ll have it all—the perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career.” – Media Awareness Network

b. It may have an impact to women and girls to strive for an ultra-thin body idealized by the media. (Haider,2010)

c. According to researcher Deborah Schooler, who’s looked into the adverse effects of media images on advertisements on males’ self-esteem, “Body image is not just a concern for women. It affects men too, and it demands attention.”
