Prof. Lawston
Cultural ideas about what it means to be a woman and what it means to be a man affect everyone in the society. Powerful cultural institutions like the media shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.
What are beauty ideals in western society, for women?How do these ideals affect us, our identities, and our view of ourselves?
The thin body ideal has been referred to as the tyranny of slenderness, or the beauty myth, according to feminists.
Thinness is not necessarily inherently beautiful. Rather, at any given time and place, social norms and institutions dictate what is thought to be attractive. Among others, consumers and mass media promulgate and reinforce this thin ideal. Yet precisely because it is a mutable social construction, it can be challenged, however difficult this task may be because of the embedded social structure.
The thin ideal is a contemporary phenomenon limited to affluent Western nations (Rothblum 1990). In the 17th century, the female beauty ideal represented in, for example, Renoir’s paintings was fleshy, voluptuous, and full-bodied. An emphasis on a slender ideal emerged in the late 19th century/early 20th century, partly as a result of the development of mass-marketing in the fashion industry, a middle- class aesthetic, and a distinct youth culture (Seid 1989; Walden 1985; on the history of fat and dieting, also refer to Stearns 1997; Schwartz 1986).
In some non-Western cultures, individuals continue to covet fat as a sign of wealth and health and eschew thinness because of its association with poverty and malnutrition (Rothblum 1990). For example, in the Andes mountains fat symbolizes strength and well- being (Weismantel 2005) and Nigerian Arabs revere fat as sexy (Popenoe 2005). In Central Africa, there are festivals that still celebrate the voluptuous woman. In short, the thin ideal is a construction specific to both time and place. It is structural, but affects all of us at the individual level.
As countries become more westernized, and the skinny, tall body becomes the ideal, countries become plagued by eating disorders. You see this in some Asian countries, such as China, where eating disorders are on the rise.
Take also Fiji. Fiji did not have access to TV until 1995, when a single station was introduced. It broadcasts programs from the U.S., Great Britain, and Australia. Until that time, Fiji had no reported cases of eating disorders. A study conducted by anthropologist Anne Becker showed that most young girls and women in Fiji were comfortable with their bodies, no matter how large. In 1998, just three years after the TV was introduced, 11% of girls reported vomiting to lose weight, and 62% of the girls surveyed reported dieting during the previous months.
While the media effects on our psychological processes are complex, studies show that higher levels of exposure to media imagery correlates with girls’ and women’s body dissatisfaction (refer to.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

22. “Everyone told me, ‘You’ve such a pretty face; why don’t you lose some
weight?’ Over the years I’ve realized that my body is certain type, and
I’ve learnt to accept it”
MESSAGES FROM CELEBRITIES……
“I was superbly overweight ...news channels
were discussing my weight... There are
people in this world who have genetic issues
and people with health conditions... Body-
shaming is not a cool concept ”
23. “I think jokes on colour or body shaming shouldn’t be made. It’s not funny
to crack such jokes. Do you crack a joke on fair-skinned people? No, right?
So, don’t do it (on dark-skinned people). There has to be a limit."

➢ Beauty is always shifting : it evolves with the world.
➢ Beauty is not only about what we see: is an aestethic
emotion experienced through our senses: vision, hearing,
touch, taste, smell.
➢ Body Shaming affects more people than we think.
➢ It affects males and females and all ages. Particularly young
adults around the age of college students.
➢ Body Shaming is a large issue in society and it needs to be
brought to our attention more often. Body shaming needs to
be stopped.
