Body Image

Does the media give a negitive body image to society?

    I do feel that media does projet a negative body image to society.  I feel they make people feel as thought they have to look a certain way in order to fit societies status quo. Body image is something is constantly talked about.  Everyone has their own definition of healthy body type or an image of the perfect body shape is.  Now when media is constantly tell people they need to look like a certain model or celebrity in order to be notice or be part of the status quo.  There even shows that project negative body images that young girls especially teens are influenced by.  Take for example "America's Next Top Model" they showed girls were trying to be models, and majority were a size 2.  Now thats crazy because they basically saying in order to be a model you have to be a size 2.  Not every girl is a size 2, personally im a size 7 and I'm pretty sure the would consider me plus size.  When in reality I am not a plus size, nor do I look like I am plus size.  There plus girls on the show, but how many of them actually go all the way in the show.  I mean there has been some improvements, but I feel the negative images out weigh the good ones.
