This week the student has learned that the media plays a large role in shaping societal views of beauty through three specific examples. First, commercials with thin models promote unrealistic body standards. Second, music videos like "You're Beautiful" tell people beauty is only skin deep. Third, videos like "Flawz" show that appreciating oneself is important despite perceived flaws. The student concludes they will be more critical of media portrayals of beauty going forward.
