This document outlines a presentation on media and information literacy (MIL). It discusses key topics like the definition of media literacy, its importance, and the fundamental elements of media literacy. It also covers critical thinking - its definition, importance in media literacy, and examples of fallacies of thinking. The presentation aims to help students understand these concepts, apply critical thinking to analyze media messages and identify fallacies, and develop independent judgments about media content.
This document discusses how popular culture impacts perceptions of masculinity, femininity, body image, beauty, and fashion. It explores how media representations set narrow beauty standards that idealize youth, thinness, and attractiveness. This can negatively influence men and women's self-perceptions and body image by making them feel they are not beautiful enough. Popular culture tools like advertisements are blamed for convincing people they must conform to certain body standards in order to be attractive or buy products. The rise of tattoos is also discussed, noting their origins and evolution into an art form.

This document discusses how popular culture impacts perceptions of masculinity, femininity, body image, beauty, and fashion.

This can negatively influence men and women's self-perceptions and body image by making them feel they are not beautiful enough. Popular culture tools like advertisements are blamed for convincing people they must conform to certain body standards in order to be attractive or buy products. The rise of tattoos is also discussed, noting their origins and evolution into an art form.
Traditional representations of women in media often reflected patriarchal ideologies by portraying women in narrow, stereotypical roles like housewives, mothers, and sexual objects. However, feminism and social change have led to more diverse portrayals of women in some modern media, including in action films and genres traditionally dominated by men. Still, traditional stereotypes of gender persist alongside new representations.
The document provides an overview of beauty trends and ideals from around the world and through different time periods. It begins with an introduction to the author and discusses the large influence and size of the global beauty industry. Subsequent sections explore historical beauty practices in countries like China, Europe, and Thailand. Examples include foot binding in China and neck elongation in Thailand. The document then examines shifting beauty trends through different decades, like pale skin and red lips in the 1920s and 1950s and the softer natural looks of the 1960s.
The document discusses the history of ideal beauty standards portrayed in media from the Renaissance era to present day. It examines how beauty standards have changed over time and influenced by different cultures. Today, the media promotes an unrealistic ideal of beauty that negatively impacts adolescents by lowering their self-esteem and increasing risks of eating disorders. While some efforts have been made to promote diversity, more needs to be done to counter the harmful messages perpetuated by the constant focus on physical appearance in media.
Dove launched its "Real Beauty Campaign" in 2004 to promote a wider definition of beauty in response to research finding most women do not consider themselves beautiful. The campaign uses real women in advertising and aims to increase women's self-esteem. Over 10 years, the campaign has expanded its message through various viral videos and reached over 7 million girls worldwide, however some criticize it as hypocritical given Dove is owned by Unilever which also owns Axe body spray.
This document discusses the physical self and how it is impacted by different forces and cultures. It explores how beauty standards vary widely across cultures, with some valuing traits like facial tattoos, stretched earlobes, or lip plates. The media is highlighted as having a strong influence on adolescents' understanding of beauty by promoting thin ideals. Different parts of the world are presented as examples of diverse beauty standards, showing that beauty is subjective and defined differently in every culture.
Content research - Mapping the Development & Historyprincessmays1
This document maps the development of Mary Callisto's idea for a documentary about body image. It began as she observed unrealistic expectations of beauty for teenage girls, expecting them to look a certain way to be seen as beautiful. She realized her idea was too general, so she decided to focus on how body image affects females and how they conduct themselves. The document provides historical context on changing ideals of female beauty from the 1890s through today, including Gibson Girls, flappers, pinup girls, Twiggy, the heroin chic look, and today's debates around thinspiration versus plus size models. Mary adjusted her idea to focus more on the effects of body image rather than the causes of low self-esteem.
This document discusses redefining beauty by dispelling common myths about appearance. It argues that true beauty comes from within, not superficial standards promoted by the multi-billion dollar beauty industry. Five common myths are presented, such as the idea that thinness or youthfulness equals beauty. In reality, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. The document advocates developing self-esteem from inner qualities like character rather than looking to artificial measures of worth.
The document discusses how body image is greatly influenced by unrealistic portrayals in the media. It defines body image as a person's feelings about their own physical appearance and attractiveness. Media outlets like magazines, television, movies, and increasingly social media showcase images of women that are unattainably thin, using filters and editing to further distort reality. This barrage of unrealistic ideals has been shown to negatively impact women and girls' self-esteem and satisfaction with their bodies, with many engaging in dieting, exercise, or even considering cosmetic surgery to achieve these impossible standards.
The document discusses how body image is greatly influenced by unrealistic portrayals in the media. It defines body image as a person's feelings about their own physical appearance and attractiveness. Media outlets like magazines, television, movies, and social media often feature thin models and actresses who do not reflect the body types of most women. Exposure to these unrealistic images can negatively impact young women and shape their perceptions of beauty and what a "normal" body should look like.
The document discusses representation and stereotypes in media. It defines representation as how media constructs reality through selective presentation. Representations encode certain ideologies and paradigms while excluding others to shape a preferred view. Stereotypes are shortcuts used to understand media that define characters as either belonging or not belonging in a society. While stereotypes can enhance a text's realism, they also risk oversimplifying groups and misrepresenting reality. The document analyzes how various theories like the male gaze approach stereotypes and representation in media production and reception.
This document discusses media representation and stereotypes. It defines representation as how media presents signs and codes to audiences, and stereotyping as relying on preconceived ideas about groups. It suggests the lesson's learning objective is to define representation and how media uses stereotypical views. Several examples are provided of representation in advertising and film/TV and how they fit or challenge stereotypes of gender.
This document discusses how body image and beauty standards have evolved over time and their impact on society. In the past, curvier body types were accepted but today's standards promote thin, toned figures. This pressure has led to increased eating disorders among models. However, movements promoting body positivity and acceptance of diverse body types are helping redefine standards to be more inclusive and realistic. Younger generations feel pressure to meet idealized standards but learning to accept individual uniqueness is important.

Beauty & the Body
Today’s Goals
Be able to explain how gender, race and class shape our embodied life experiences.
Embodied: to give a bodily form to, incarnate
Understand how the socially constructed “Beauty Myth” encourages us to believe that some bodies are more attractive than others, and in essence, worth more than others.
Analyze media and advertising messages for the “hidden” norms and values they support, including messages about masculinity and femininity.
Apply a critical feminist lens to cosmetic surgery and eating disorders– two experiences which impact more women than men in our society.

Unbearable weight: Feminism, Western culture & the Body
The body is a medium of culture
The daily bodily rituals we perform inscribe cultural norms on the body
The body is a metaphor for culture
Social and political futures are imagined in and through the body
The body is a direct locus of social control
Foucault: The “docile body” regulated by the organization and regulation of our daily lives
Female bodies become docile bodies through the focus on self-improvement by diet, make up, fashion, plastic surgery
The body is a site of struggle
We must transform our daily practices to resist gender domination
We must maintain a skeptical attitude toward instant gratification offered by popular culture
The Nature-Culture dichotomy
Women have historically been defined as closer to nature
Women understood as creators through their bodies (reproduction)
Men have historically been defined as producers of culture
Men defined as creating with their minds/intellect/reason
Experiencing the body
Gender performance & the body
Many gendered activities have an impact on our bodies. Some performances—such as the masculinized activity of weight lifting—have a very obvious impact on the body. Other activities—such as the gendered norm of discussing feelings in women’s friendships—have a less immediately obvious impact on the body. However, the stress reduction achieved through close relationships can improve long-term physical and psychological health outcomes.
How does the media depict male & female bodies
Does not portray real lives and behaviors of actual men and women
Creates an ideal image of both bodies and lifestyles that relies on beauty and wealth
Assumes men and women will try to imitate both the physical appearance and lifestyles of men and women in ads
Media messages about the body
Women should be thin, young, beautiful, light skinned
Men should be tough, strong
Women should look sexy but be innocent
Women’s bodies are constantly dismembered, objectified, and used to sell products they have no.
Representation of genders in advertsing and mediaNikkiS3
The document discusses the representation of women in media such as television advertisements and covers. It notes that women are often portrayed in domestic or sexualized roles, such as being shown predominantly in kitchens or wearing revealing clothing. This perpetuates outdated gender stereotypes of women belonging in the home or needing to appeal to men. The document also discusses how these representations can negatively impact women by creating unrealistic beauty standards and pressure to conform to certain appearances. Meanwhile, men are typically portrayed in media as having careers and being associated with products like alcohol and cars that suggest power and dominance.
Dove launched a campaign called "Real Beauty" in 2004 to redefine societal standards of beauty. The campaign was based on research finding that most women do not consider themselves beautiful due to narrow beauty standards portrayed in media. Dove's study identified components of beauty like personality traits and health, not just physical appearance. The campaign featured more diverse, real women in its advertisements to showcase different types of beauty and boost women's self-esteem. However, some critics argued Dove's models were still conventionally attractive and the campaign did not truly challenge beauty industry norms.

2. Following this topic you
should be able to…
• Define and describe body image, from
a bodywhys perspective
• Develop an understanding of what
media literacy is and how to best
achieve it
• Adopt a healthier and more informed
attitude toward one’s own self-
image, enabling you to be more
equipped mentally to help a caller in
need
3. Body Image
•How we perceive ourselves or our
idealized selves
•50% of women in the western
world admit to harbouring
insecurities about their appearance
and body dissatisfaction
(Bearman, Presnell and
Martinex, 2006)
•Body dissatisfaction is one of the
prominent risk factors associated
with the development of eating
disorders (Shaw et al., 2004)
4. Positive Body Image Tips
• Cherish your body and use it as a tool
to enrich the fullness of life
• Being healthy means living healthy –
looking after yourself and eating well
will make you feel good on the
outside
• Use daily affirmations – concentrate
on a part of yourself you like and
communicate to yourself that you are
grateful for what you have
• Do not try to look like anyone else –
you are unique, so aim to embrace
and accept your own individual
beauty
5. The Media and Body Image
• The media, through bolstering images of
unrealistically “thin” women, plays a role in the
manufacturing of unhealthy body images
(APA, 2007)
• A study carried out amongst a group of Fijian
adolescents whom had never before been exposed
to television evidenced this effect. Following a
substantial time period of television
consumption, Becker et al. (2002) found that
participants began to display significantly more
disordered eating attitudes and bulimic behaviours.
6. Media Literacy
• In light of this, a number of media
literacy campaigns have been
developed
• Media literacy involves:
• being sceptical in how one
perceives images and information
in the media
• Realising that what is projected
from the media should not be
taken at face value.
• Understanding that with the
availability of modern day
technologies such as photo-
shop, the media can virtually
manipulate any image that they
wish in order to sell their product
(Stormer &
Thompson, 1995,1998).
